Claims8
A system comprising:
- a measurement device operatively coupled via a physical network connection to an end device via a component, wherein the measurement device comprises:
- a processor and a communications interface, the communications interface configured to receive a signal via the component, wherein the component is associated with an installation technician,
- the processor configured to take proactive network maintenance (PNM) measurements of the signal for each component, and
- the communications interface configured to send the PNM measurements;
- and
- a server operatively coupled to the measurement device, wherein the server comprises:
- a processor and a communications interface, the communications interface configured to receive the PNM measurements associated with the component,
- the processor configured to determine an assessment report associated with the installation technician based on the PNM measurements, and
- the communications interface configured to send the assessment report to a display proximate to the installation technician for providing real-time feedback concerning the installation of the component.
