Configuring the Talkset
LANTEK testers are “talkset ready.” Use this option to configure communications
between the DH and the RH through an externally attached microphone/headset.
If the Talkset is enabled, the DH and RH may be switched between “Test” and
“Talk.” If the Talk button on either unit is momentarily depressed, both units will
return to “Test” mode.
If the Talk button on either unit is momentarily depressed when the units are in
“Test” mode (and not currently testing), the units will switch to “Talk” mode. The
units will remain in “Talk” mode until the Talk button on either unit is depressed,
the AutoTest button is depressed, or after a period of time of no talk activity is
detected by the DH.
During fiber testing, the lasers in each adapter are not powered when the DH and
RH are in “Talk” mode. Prolonged active talk will not allow the Timeout to return
the units to “Test” mode. This may permit the lasers’ temperature to drop below
their threshold operating temperatures, requiring a new warm-up sequence for the
fiber adapters. (See IDEAL’s FIBERTEK User’s Manual.)
