A telecommunication test network including both a broadcast network and a point-to-point network is disclosed. The test network includes a programmable test system controller coupled to the broadcast network, a plurality of remote measurement units coupled to the point-to-point network, and a gateway computer linking the broadcast and point-to-point networks. The test system controller is programmed to establish communication channels with the remote measurement units, thereby enabling the test system controller to control the remote units and to analyze parameters measured by the remote units. These communication channels are established using standard protocols and without requiring custom programming in the gateway computer. |
