<p>Do you mean "it auths and I downloaded a file" "3 day burn in" or "long term reliability testing"?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Probably the same answer. Depending on cost of modem, just ship two and have small cost to ship back once it's all good and small warehousing overhead?

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi List,<br>
<br>
Was wondering on ideas for testing ADSL modem's in office before sending out? Whether its pre-configured before drop-shipping, testing a possible faulty etc etc.<br>
<br>
The obvious solution is to have a phone line with service installed ready for testing - which we actually have. One Telstra DSLAM one Optus DSLAM to test both networks.<br>
<br>
The real problem is - NBNCo has rolled out in the area, and these services are due to disconnect early-mid 2015. Very annoying as we service plenty of areas requiring ADSL Support - and with FTTN rolling out in NBN, and our area being FTTP, we will also need
a way to support and test VDSL stuff as well.<br>
<br>
With that my only solution to think of to date is getting an extremely small DSLAM that supports both modes and maybe some big coils to emulate line length (lol). I havent found many 'cheap' DSLAMs (cheap enough to sit around for non full-time use and no $$
return).<br>
<br>
Are there any other solutions to this problem I'm not considering?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Joe<br>
