Speed up fault rectification

Carrier class tests make it easy to identify the precise nature of faults and where they originate from.  Comprehensive recording of CRC errors, Forward Correction,  Signal to Noise ratio,  Loop Attenuation and the individual Tones assist in communicating any issues to the backbone network provider.  A line scope provides an easy to use visual indication of the presence of line noise.
