With the same subscriber as the real QualiPoc device
Define the job and the task in the NQView database with the same settings as defined on the QualiPoc device Export the B-side task file and import it in the Voice Call server
In order to use a QualiPoc device as Answering Station for a Diversity system Define the Answering Stations device in the NQView database of the Diversity system
