Tutorials focus on “need to know” details such as:
• Service/Transport Description
• Associated Equipment
• Delivery Configurations (topology)
• Demarcation Points/Devices
• Delivery Parameters (expected test results)
• Commissioning & Troubleshooting Processes
• Loop Calculation & Design
• Registered Jack/interface pin assignments
• Registered Jack/interface by Circuit Type
• Qualification Criteria of Copper Pairs for Services/Transports
• Identifying Faults on Cable Pairs & Station Wiring
• Test Set Selection Matrix (pick list by service/transport)
• Station Wiring Guidelines
• Noise Mitigation
• Specific setup instructions by: service/transport, test set and test location
From the HOME screen, technicians are merely a click away from
tutorials, job aides and STEP x STEP testing instructions for over
200 specific circuit tests
Technicians can view jack wiring diagrams by clicking on jack number
or circuit type
Every circuit type includes a short tutorial, providing the technician
with exactly what they need to know to test the circuit (and no more).
Every tutorial includes drawings depicting typical circuit configuration,
Identifying all accessible test points.
The basic capabilities are identified for each model test set, allowing
technician or supervisors to select the proper unit.
Every type of potential copper pair fault is identified and explained
Every required test process for “acceptance testing” copper pairs is depicted
and explained, including list of required equipment
Technicians and engineers can choose to automatically calculate loop
parameters, or perform manual calculations.
Automatically calculate
Loop Loss, Loop Resistance
In this example, the technician
entered 10,300 feet of 24 gauge,
buried cable for calculating
loss, slope and resistance.
Loop Loss @ 1,004 HZ = 4.70 dB
Loop Resistance = 582.2 Ohms
Gain Slope = 2.3 dB (Loss @ 2,800 Hz
Minus Loss @ 1,004 Hz- also called
Circuit Roll-off)
The extensive, yet easy-to-read Loop Design Tutorial is a big plus for supervisors,
engineers and support staff
Formulas and examples for manually calculating
Loop Resistance and Loop Loss
Pictures are displayed for all test sets, with specific
Power Supply information.
Complete, STEP x STEP instruction for circuit testing (button mashing
and test cord connections) for over 200 specific circuit tests
The TDR tutorial is especially helpful for locating split pairs and bridgetaps
(bridgetaps fully explained in the “Qualifying Cable Pairs for Services” section)
• CD scratch/crack protection
•CD’s may be returned for new for small shipping/handling fee

•Virtual Help Desk for Modern Telecom Technicians
•Volume 1- POTS Dialtone through T1
•Includes all of i.H.E.L.P, but covers nearly all legacy and modern
test sets, including ISDN PRI for test set and
5ESS/DMS100 switch commands, and also DSL services.
•Volume 2- DS3 through OC192 & GigE
•Volume 3- LTE
•Volume 4- Wireless/Cellular Testing
