4.4.2.2

Stopping the Job on the QualiPoc Phone


The B-side QualiPoc device handles a stop command from the Diversity A-side device
in the following ways:

Stop command arrives during a configuration call: QualiPoc restarts the measurement job into waiting for configuration mode and does not save a measurement
file

Stop command arrives during a normal call: QualiPoc stops the measurement job
and saves a measurement file.

Stop command arrives during a pause in a normal call: Job continues to run until
the timeout is reached

Stop command does not arrive: If the call has already been configured and the test
is running, the call runs indefinitely; however, if you restart the measurement task in
NQView and QualiPoc is configured to receive the call, then QualiPoc restarts the
job on the phone after the configuration call.

4.4.3 Creating and Running the Job in Diversity NQView


The following sections describe how to use Diversity NQView to configure the following
features for a speech double ended test:

4.4.3.1
