A craft menu system, in a presently preferred embodiment, includes a
network terminal like an ONT, having a processor and memory and multiple
data ports, configurably coupled to a DTMF telephony (e.g., BUTT) test
set for installation and testing. The installation, registration and
testing information needed by a technician is provided by the ONT to the
BUTT set display using convenient Caller ID signaling, and technician
data entry is accomplished via the DTMF-enabled keys on the BUTT set.
This system allows a single technician, equipped with current standard
tools like a BUTT set and without the need for additional tools like a PC
or PDA, to install and test a craft menu enabled ONT in a timely and
efficient manner.
