Claims19
An apparatus for communicating with a plurality of disparate systems, comprising:
- a platform that supports a control interface and a different user interface for each of the plurality of disparate systems, said platform enabling the formatting and transfer of data to each of said plurality of disparate systems.
An apparatus for integrating a plurality of maintenance and testing systems that communicate with a plurality of disparate telecommunications systems, comprising:
- a platform that supports a control interface and a different user interface for each of the plurality of disparate telecommunications systems, said platform permitting parallel asynchronous testing of at least two of said disparate telecommunications systems that are connected to the platform.
A computer readable medium for storing a program that integrates a plurality of maintenance and testing systems that communicate with a plurality of disparate telecommunications systems, comprising:
- a plurality of different user interfaces each communicating with one of the plurality of disparate telecommunications systems, said plurality of different user interfaces interoperating with the plurality of disparate telecommunications systems;
- and
- a control interface, said platform enabling the formatting and transfer of data from to each of said plurality of disparate systems, said control interface enabling a user to access each of the different user interfaces.
