Claim:
1. A test station (“TS”) for verifying network devices, comprising: a user interface (“UI”) able to facilitate interactive communication between the TS and a user, and able to graphically display a plurality test configurations and results; a test bed engine, coupled to the UI, having a plurality of test beds capable of conducting tests to a plurality of device under tests (“DUTs”) via various line connections; and a TS manager, coupled to the test bed engine, containing a client server interface, a database interface, a user verification module, and a monitoring component, and configured to provide a test environment with one or more emulated communication networks for testing each of the plurality of DUTs, wherein the database interface is able to communicate with an external database, wherein the test bed engine includes a plurality of test beds having multiple connectors configured to communicate with attached DUTs, a DUT detector coupled to the plurality of test beds and configured to sense number of DUTs that are coupled to the test bed engine, a network environment duplicator capable of providing an independent communication network to each of attached DUTs with the test beds, and an internet protocol (“IP”) address generator configured to generate unique IP addresses for a plurality of DUTs.
