- generating and transmitting at least one first type signal within said first frequency spectrum
- simultaneously performing quality measurements on said second connection in said second frequency spectrum,
- analyzing said quality measurements for thereby concluding the presence or not of the correct functionality and presence of said filter. An apparatus for performing the method is as well disclosed.</p> |
