Network testing is becoming more closely aligned with maximising the return on investment in network assets, and with meeting business objectives including reducing costs and meeting customer expectations.

Network Service Providers need to automate network testing and maintenance, and to integrate those systems with their work force management systems, in order to increase their cost effectiveness.

COMLINK is a suite of Windows ® application programs consisting of COMLINK Access, COMLINK Manager and COMLINK Executive, used in conjunction with the NETLINK family of Network Test instruments, to provide a cost effective integrated system to analyse and report on telecommunications network quality and performance.

COMLINK Access is a single user Windows ® application program for portable computers, which provides field staff with a simple to use, graphical user interface to NetLink field instruments.

COMLINK Manager is a single network user Windows ® application program for distributed use.   It is for management and technical staff to access an ODBC compliant database of network test results via a TCP /IP network.

COMLINK Executive is a system wide Windows ® application for system administrator, which interoperates with NetLink instruments, and produces and maintains an ODBC compliant database of network test results.
