Abstract
Systems and techniques for testing a unit using a communications device simulator and an access point simulator. The results of the simulations are evaluated by a controller. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or the meaning of the claims.
Claims60
A test fixture, comprising:
- a communications device simulator;
- an access point simulator;
- and
- a controller coupled to the communications device simulator and the access point simulator.
A test fixture, comprising:
- a communications device simulator;
- an access point simulator;
- and
- a simulator board having the communications device simulator and the access point simulator thereon.
A method of testing a unit, comprising
- simulating a communications device to communicate with a unit under test;
- simulating an access point to communicate with the unit under test;
- and
- correlating in real time the communications of the simulated communications device and the simulated access point.
A method of testing a unit, comprising:
- communicating between a communications device simulator and a unit under test;
- communicating between an access point simulator and the unit under test;
- generating data by each of the simulators in response to its respective communications;
- and
- coupling the data from each of the simulators to a controller to evaluate the unit under test.
A test fixture, comprising:
- first simulation means for simulating a communications device;
- second simulation means for simulating an access point;
- and
- controller means, coupled to the first and second means, for evaluating a unit under test.
47 The test fixture of claim 42 wherein the second simulation means comprises means for communicating with the unit under test over an Ethernet network.
Computer readable media embodying a method of testing a unit, the method comprising:
- simulating a communications device to communicate with a unit under test;
- simulating an access point to communicate with the unit under test;
- and
- correlating in real time the communications of the simulated communications device and the simulated access point.
