With the same subscriber as the real QualiPoc device

Define the job and the task in the NQView database with the same settings as defined on the QualiPoc device Export the B-side task file and import it in the Voice Call server

In order to use a QualiPoc device as Answering Station for a Diversity system Define the Answering Stations device in the NQView database of the Diversity system

Add a unit of type PC and set all connection profiles to No connection/DTMF Add a PSTN or ISDN device for each QualiPoc Android device and check the option The device is an

answering station Select, as Subscriber, the profile corresponding to the SIM card inserted in the QualiPoc Android device

Define an intrusive voice job Set the record HO to: 18500 ms Set MOC:MTC ratio to: 1:0 Define one or more speech tests all DL, all of the same type
