Abstract
A remote automated cellular test set can be disposed in a first location and accessed via a communication network from a second location that is remote from the first location. The access to the test set can be by a technician's terminal which can remotely initiate the execution of certain commands by a first cellular phone (a test phone) in the first location. A second cellular phone is connected to the first cellular phone by an audio looping technique that permits a technician at a remote location to use the test phone at the first location as if that technician were physically located at the first location.
