Battery Charging and Power Control

The TALAN has a built-in battery charger. To charge the battery, simply plug the power adapter
into the AC adapter port while the battery is in the TALAN.

Expected charge time: 1.5 hours with the TALAN off (3+ hours with TALAN operational).
Expected run time (on battery): 4 hours.

Note: It is recommended that the TALAN battery be recharged on a regular basis during

extended periods of storage (3 months or more) to prevent damage to the battery.

Additionally, when storing TALAN for long periods (1 month or more), it is recommended that
the battery be removed from the unit and placed in the storage compartment in the case.
Storing the TALAN with the battery in the unit can deplete it more rapidly, potentially
shortening the life of the battery.

Updating the Software and Firmware

 Software updates (in the form of a .FIX file) will be available on-line or by contacting REI at

[e-mail].

 Place the downloaded .FIX file on a USB thumb drive.
 Plug the thumb drive (with .FIX update file) into the TALAN.
 Press the F6 (System) button and choose Update from the pop-up menu.
 Highlight the .FIX file and press the OK button.
 The TALAN will now update the software/firmware. Follow any on-screen directions as the

TALAN may need to be restarted for the update to take effect.

 Remove the thumb drive and save the .FIX file as a back-up.

Note: Check REI’s website or the REI TSCM Newsletter for software update notification.

If you have any questions, contact REI at [e-mail].

Saving Screen Shots to Thumb Drive

To assist in report writing, the TALAN provides the ability to capture screen shots from the
TALAN display. These images are created as BMP (bitmap) images and stored to a thumb drive.
To use this function, the thumb drive must be inserted in the USB port on the front of the
TALAN. Press the following key sequence to store the current screen image:

 SHIFT
 HELP

If the screen shot is successful, the TALAN logo in the upper right corner will cycle through
background colors of green and yellow before returning to black. If the screen shot is not
successful (e.g., no USB drive), the TALAN logo will cycle through background colors of blue and

The TALAN provides modular 8 type connectors (Line, Phone), banana plug connectors
(Black/Ring, Red/Tip, Green/Earth), an expansion port (for future applications), and an RF
antenna input.

 The Expansion port will be used for future upgrades as developed, but currently has NO

 The RF Antenna port is used for RF broadband analysis using the 2 provided antennas.
 The banana plugs can be used for any type of miscellaneous testing.

 The modular 8 connectors provide for switching between selected pairs for most types

With TALAN 3.0, conductors 1:8 can also be tested against the Shield on the MOD8 connector,
and also against the EarthGround Banana Jack Connector.

function.

Warning: Even though the Expansion port is currently unused, it is still connected to the
test input circuitry. Devices other than those provided by REI should NEVER be attached
to this connector.

Warning: The TALAN circuitry is designed for testing sensitive phone networks and
equipment. The banana plugs should NOT be connected to high current or high voltage
test points such as power outlets.

of wiring. For example, if a cable has 8 conductors, the typical wiring pairs are as follow:
4:5 is typically the primary pair.
3:6 is the secondary pair
1:2 is an auxiliary pair
7:8 is an auxiliary pair

Using these 8 conductors, it is important to note
there are 28 possible combinations to consider.

For example:

1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:6, 1:7, 1:8
2:3, 2:4, 2:5, 2:6, 2:7, 2:8
3:4, 3:5, 3:6, 3:7, 3:8
4:5, 4:6, 4:7, 4:8
5:6, 5:7, 5:8
6:7, 6:8
7:8

11

INPUTS AND AUTOMATIC SWITCHING

The switching matrix in the TALAN provides for automatic switching and test measurement for
all of these possible combinations. Users can also specify only testing a single wire pair or the
balanced pair combinations as described later in this manual. For most test functions press the
F4 (Options) button and select All Pairs, Balanced Pairs, or Single Pair.

Note: the Continuous function allows for repeated sequential testing of the selected
function and wire pair(s).

Note: the Option Lock function provides a way to maintain or ‘lock’ the current test

option settings while navigating between multiple manual tests and touch screen taps.

12

TEST DATABASE MANAGEMENT

TEST DATABASE MANAGEMENT

All TALAN test data can be saved to an external memory system. This memory system can be either a
USB thumb drive or a Compact Flash card. Ports for both of these memory media are located at the base
of the unit. Once test data has been saved, it can be further analyzed using the TALAN’s A/B
Comparison function detailed later in this manual.

The USB thumb drives may be installed or removed at any time while the product is in use. However, the
Compact Flash memory must be installed in the TALAN on startup to be properly recognized and
accessed.

A USB keyboard may be connected to the TALAN to facilitate alphanumeric entry for various input fields.

USB storage devices must be formatted with a FAT file system, such as FAT32, for use with the TALAN
unit. Devices that are formatted with the NTFS file system will not be recognized by the TALAN.
Windows operating systems limit the storage capacity of a FAT32 partition to less than 32 GB when
formatting. Third party software does exist which will allow you to format a larger partition using FAT32.

Prior to saving data, it is necessary to define a Job Name. This creates a unique database under the Job
Name so that all test data associated with this Job can be saved in the same database structure. Press
the F1 (Job) button and select New Job (see below).

13

TEST DATABASE MANAGEMENT

You can define the Job name using the stylus and the provided keypad. Press the OK button to
accept the Job name. You can also select the storage medium, either USB for the thumb drive
or CF for the Compact Flash card.

You can also use this screen to cut and paste a complete Job Database from one storage
medium to another.

To enter specific notes about a Job, select the Job Notes from the F1 (Job) menu.

A USB keyboard is recommended for entering text quickly.

14

TEST DATABASE MANAGEMENT

You will also notice Targets and Locations under the Job menu. This selection is used to define
additional information about the particular target being tested. Locations will be used to
identify specific locations (address, building number, building floor, office number etc.) within a
Job. Target will be used to identify a specific target (phone set, network access point, etc.) to
analyze within a location.

Available Wires define how many wires are used in the phone cord. A maximum of 8
conductors may be in a phone cord and the conducting pairs should always be defined from the
center outward. For example, a 2-wire system should be defined with 4 and 5 selected and all
unused pairs de-selected. If a 4-conductor phone cord is used, then the 1, 2, 7, and 8 should be
de-selected. The example below shows a typical 6 wire system setup.

15

TEST DATABASE MANAGEMENT

Prior to beginning testing, it is important to define the test sequence. The test sequence name
is used by the database to identify the series of tests that are performed on a target. For a
single target on a job, you may perform multiple test sequences.

TESTING CONCEPTS AND RECOMMENDED TEST SEQUENCE

Testing Locations

The TALAN can be used to test a phone line from several different testing points.

It is important to understand that prior to interrupting the phone line you should first verify
that there is no audio passing down the line. Therefore, regardless of where you test the line,
you should first use the banana plugs, connect to the main audio pair and test for audio. This is
often easier at an intermediate block. Then, it is recommended that the user start testing at the
phone set. For the remainder of this document, it is assumed that the testing is performed at
the phone set.

TESTING CONCEPTS AND RECOMMENDED TEST SEQUENCE

VoIP Wiring and Using the TALAN VoIP Adapter

Traditional Telecom Cables

Typical analog and digital phone systems use a “reversed” modular 8­conductor cable (where Pin 1 on one end of the cable corresponds to Pin
8 on the other end of the cable, Pin 2 to Pin 7, and so on). Flat modular
cords are most often in this reversed format. This reversed wiring can be
seen in the image at the right (note the reversed colored conductors on
each connector).

The TALAN can be used “in-line” with a phone system using the TALAN’s two modular jacks
which are identified as LINE and PHONE. The modular jacks on the TALAN are wired straight
through to allow for most common telephone systems without the use of a special crossover or
special test adapter cable. Pin 1 on the LINE jack corresponds to Pin 1 on the PHONE jack and so
on.

Cat5 Cables

Unlike the reversed modular flat cables found in most voice systems, Cat5
twisted pair cables, which are used in VoIP phone systems and some
digital phone systems, are wired in a “straight though” manner (Pin 1 to
Pin 1, Pin 2 to Pin 2, etc.). Typically, VoIP systems use Pins 1, 2, 3 and 6 of
an eight wire twisted pair cable. This straight through wiring is shown in
the image to the right (note the colored conductors are in the same order
in both connectors).

Cat6 Shielded Cables

CAT6 cables are based on the CAT5 design, however, CAT6
cables utilize shielding and potentially a drain wire and/or braid
to help reduce interference between conductors and also help
reduce interference between the CAT6 cable and other cables.
However, this additional shielding could be used as a carrier for
electronic information. For example: placing one lead of a
microphone on the shield and placing the other lead of the
microphone to one of the 8 CAT6 conductors.
TALAN 3.0 provides methods to test MOD8 conductors against
shields in CAT6 shielded cables.

TESTING CONCEPTS AND RECOMMENDED TEST SEQUENCE

Testing Stages

When testing with the TALAN, there are different testing conditions that must be considered. We
have defined these conditions as test stages and they are:

1. On-Hook Test Stage

2. Off-Hook Test Stage

3. Phone Disconnected Stage

4. Open Circuit Stage

5. End-of-Line Stage

It is not necessary to conduct all possible tests in each of these test stages; therefore we have
provided a description and benefit for each of these stages.

1. On-Hook Test Stage

Handset on hook, TALAN in line with phone set.

 No audio should exist on any pair.
 Characterize system parameters such as voltage.
 Test for RF Carrier Current signals

Tests: DMM, Audio analysis, Broadband RF and Activity level

2. Off-Hook Test Stage

Handset off hook, a call is in progress, audio should be passing through the line only on
the main pair.

 To validate Audio Testing. Test for audio on odd pairs.
 Characterize system parameters such as voltage and compare with On-Hook Case.
 Test for RF Carrier Current signals

Tests: DMM, Audio analysis, Broadband RF and Activity level

3. Phone Disconnected Stage

Phone disconnected from line, but line is connected to digital switch.

 Characterize system parameters such as voltage.
 Analyze Line with FDR, and compare FDR results between pairs to look for taps

Tests: DMM, FDR

4. Open Circuit Stage

Line is not connected to switch or phone set. No electronic connections should exist
anywhere on the line. Line is completely isolated from everything except the TALAN.

 Test Line with bias voltage for attached microphones
 Analyze Line with FDR, and compare FDR results between pairs
 Test Line for taps and microphones

Tests: NLJD, FDR, Capacitance

5. End-of-Line Stage

The line is isolated as in the above stage however, there is a passive load (no electronics,
only a resistive network) attached to the end of the line to improve FDR sensitivity and
provide loop resistance test.
 Analyze Line with FDR, and compare FDR results between pairs and with Open

Circuit stage

 Test Line for serial taps using loop resistance
Tests: FDR, Loop resistance

19

TESTING CONCEPTS AND RECOMMENDED TEST SEQUENCE

Summary of Recommended Tests

The testing stages listed above result in large amounts of test data. However, it is important to consider
which tests provide the most benefit in the shortest amount of time. For this situation we recommend
the following simplified and reduced test outline:

Set-Up

1. Set-up the TALAN prior to making test measurements. Methods for performing these steps

are provided later in the manual.
a. Enter a Job Name prior to testing.
b. Enter the Location and Target information.
c. Define the number of conductors that exist on the line.
d. Define a Sequence Name.
e. Install digital phone type (i.e., Avaya, Nortel, Samsung…).

Non-Alerting

2. Without disconnecting the line or altering the handset, test the line for audio using the

banana plugs.
a. Find a place somewhere on the line to gain access to the pairs.
b. Test each pair for voltage to verify the main active pair.
c. Test each pair for both analog and digital Audio.
d. Test each pair for carrier current signals with the RF Level & Spectrum tests.

3. Using the RF Antennas, test for RF energy coming from the telephone.

Single Ended Testing

4. At the phone set, connect the TALAN in line.
a. If the Telephone cable is a FLAT cable, then a FLAT patch cable should be used between

the TALAN and the wall jack.

b. If the Telephone cable is a Twisted Pair cable, a Twisted Pair patch cable (typically CAT5)

should be used between the TALAN and the wall jack.

5. With the Phone ON HOOK (Stage 1)
a. Test all pairs for DC voltage to get a basis for operating voltage & DC current.
b. Test all pair combinations for audio. There should be NO audio.

6. With the Phone OFF HOOK and a call in progress (Stage 2)
a. Test all pairs for audio (Note: you may also hear audio on any pair combination that has

either conductor from the main pair because the TALAN audio system can pull audio
from one wire in a balanced pair).

b. Test all pairs for DC voltage. This gives a basis for the operating voltage.

7. With the Phone Disconnected (Stage 3)
a. Classify the Pairs (define balanced pairs).
b. Test the main pairs with the FDR. Put all FDR traces on the screen and visually compare.

They should be very similar. It is recommended to concentrate only on the balanced
pairs.

Double Ended Testing

8. With the Phone Set Disconnected and the Switch Disconnected (Stage 4)
a. Test all pair combinations with the NLJD. There should be NO response on any pair

combinations. THIS IS THE MOST RELIABLE TEST.

9. With the Phone Set Disconnected, the Switch Disconnected, and the End-Of-Line terminator
placed on the line (Stage 5)
a. Test main pairs with the FDR to indicate locations of electronic connections.

10. Use the Locator Probe as needed to find the tap.

TESTING CONCEPTS AND RECOMMENDED TEST SEQUENCE

Automated Sequencing and Manual Operation

The TALAN has many test functions that can be performed in either an Automated Sequence

Mode or Manual Mode. The main difference is that the Automated Sequence Mode is designed

to walk the user through the previously recommended test sequence while the Manual Mode is
designed to allow the user to go to any specific tests and completely control the parameters
and conditions of the tests. Manual Mode is most useful for testing for specific items of interest
while the Automated Sequencing is recommended for a complete evaluation of the line. In both
modes, the testing screens are very similar; however, the Automated Sequencing Mode test
screens have a green background while the Manual Mode test screens have a brown
background.

This section will describe how to utilize the Sequence mode. However, the details of the actual
tests being performed will be described later as Manual Tests functions.

22

TESTING CONCEPTS AND RECOMMENDED TEST SEQUENCE

To access the Sequence testing, press the F2 (Sequence) button and simply begin selecting the
desired tests under the Stage submenu. It is highly recommended that the test stages and test
functions be performed in the order that they are presented.

Within the test Sequence, different stages will be defined as previously described and specific
tests will be available under these test stages as indicated by the example menu structure
below.

Test Types

When executing the tests under the Sequencing Mode, the tests that the TALAN will perform
includes those selected using the TEST TYPE selection. The TALAN will automatically utilize
default settings for the various test functions.

The TEST TYPE can be configured by the user as necessary. There are “quick set” buttons for
Block, Phone, ALL, and NONE. These buttons will set the appropriate set of tests for VDC (Volts
DC), VAC (Volts AC), RES (Resistance), CAP (Capacitance), IDC (current DC), and IAC (current
AC). Below is an example of the Stage 1 (On-Hook) DMM tests where the TEST TYPE was set to
All Pairs and All Wires for all test types.

Subsequently, when START is pressed, the TALAN will test all pairs and wires for all tests.

The default factory settings for BLOCK and PHONE are as follows:

24

TESTING CONCEPTS AND RECOMMENDED TEST SEQUENCE

If a test combination other than BLOCK, PHONE, or ALL is desired, then the TEST TYPE pair /
wire selections can be set using the CUSTOM button.

Using the above shown display, each individual TEST TYPE can be modified to the desired
setting.

VDC, VAC, RES and CAP TEST TYPEs options are:

None This test type will not be performed on any pairs
Balanced For all balanced pairs where each wire in the pair is available, this test

will be performed.

All Pairs For all pairs available for this location, if each wire is available, then this

test will be performed.

IDC and IAC TEST TYPEs options are:

None This test type will not be performed on any wires
All Wires For all wires identified as available for this location, this test will be

performed.

When you have made the changes to the set of tests you want to run, select OK to exit the TEST
TYPE selection screen, which will save your changes for this test run, then select START to run
the test type configuration you have just defined. The TALAN will automatically progress
through the different TEST TYPEs using the settings you defined.

While on the TEST TYPE pair / wire selection screen, pressing Cancel will exit the TEST TYPE pair
/ wire selection screen and cancel type selections you have made in this session of the Test
Type selection screen.
