Patent ID: 8811194

Claim:
A method of testing a packet data signal transceiver via its packet data signal interface, comprising: establishing a packet data signal communication channel between a packet data signal tester and a packet data signal transceiver for conveying a plurality of packet data signals between said packet data signal tester and packet data signal transceiver; transmitting, with said packet data signal tester via said packet data signal communication channel, one or more test packet data signals, wherein said one or more test packet data signals have one or more respective pluralities of packet data signal characteristics; and receiving, with said packet data signal tester from said packet data signal transceiver via said packet data signal communication channel, one or more response packet data signals responsive to said one or more respective pluralities of packet data signal characteristics, other than and without interpreting packet data signal content, of said one or more test packet data signals, wherein said one or more test packet data signals and said one or more response packet data signals contain mutually distinct packet data signal content.
