 Device Selection Area – Any Nomad Voice Quality Task is dependent on the transmission

of speech between two communication nodes. In each task type, one node will be the

communication path may be selected for the task at hand:

o Uplink Device – In a Mobile task, the test device serves as the downlink device in

the mobile communication path. Select the Uplink Device to handle uplink data

collection and downlink audio sourcing:
