ABSTRACT:
A method and system for remotely testing a communication network provides dynamic internet access to remote test systems. Internet (TCP/IP) connections are established between remote network terminal elements. An internet connection processor is coupled between remote end-user terminals and remote test systems or units. A remote user connects to the internet connection processor through an internet data link between the remote user terminal and the internet connection processor. Once a remote user is validated and logged in, the user is provided with a display of available remote test system sites supported by the internet connection processor. The user selects a remote test site and an appropriate format in which connectivity is desired. The internet connection processor translates the remote site selection input to a corresponding internet address based on pre-loaded cross-reference data file. The internet connection processor then calls the unique TCP/IP address for the selected remote test system and establishes internet connectivity. In this way, a logical connection is formed dynamically between a remote end-user PC and a selected remote test system. Control commands for testing a communication network can then be sent from remote user terminals across interconnected TCP/IP networks to selected remote test systems. Remote test systems and remote users need only have local or IP access to the IP connection processor. Dedicated X.25 control circuits and/or operational control systems are not required to configure a connection to the remote test systems.
