    Abstract: A device translates a script command related to audio streaming in a network, and generates or receives an audio stream based on the translated script to test the network.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 15, 2006
    Date of Patent: December 1, 2015
    Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.
    Inventor: Brian Bonnett
  • Methods and systems for testing a gateway device
    Patent number: 8625747
    Abstract: An exemplary method includes generating a digit map in response to user input received by way of a graphical user interface, the digit map defining a digit sequence and a plurality of dual-tone multi-frequency (“DTMF”) properties associated with each digit included in the digit sequence, generating DTMF tones representing the digit sequence in accordance with the DTMF properties, transmitting the DTMF tones to a gateway device communicatively coupled to the testing subsystem, the gateway device configured to translate the DTMF tones into a packet-based representation of the digit sequence and the DTMF properties, receiving the packet-based representation of the digit sequence and the DTMF properties from the gateway device, and determining whether the digit sequence and the DTMF properties included in the packet-based representation substantially match the digit sequence and the DTMF properties defined by the digit map. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.
