Last Friday
Back on June 3rd I posted the picture on the left. Like I said, stepping over the ISDN power supplies for a few months was better than having the Avaya equipment & my patch jacks around a corner from the rest of the backborad. Last week, the Avaya tech came in and terminated his cables on his boards which he mounted where I wanted them.
Green boards are for incoming cables. Blue boards are for floor cables. (similar to the underground cable=green and aerial cable=blue that is used outside in the B-Boxes.) The Avaya gets cabled to purple boards -- except the ones Avaya provided are more of a lilac. He used split 50's, his cables on the left, my cross-connects will go on the right, and bridge clips will provide the Demarq. I gave him room for double what is going in, in case they try cramming twice as many reps into the same floor space.
Anyhow.... last week I managed to get my patch jacks mounted and cables run to the backboard. I only had room for half blues, but will have more room once the ISDN is removed. My blocks are M66-25's with a cable side and triple lugs on the cross-connect side -- one to cross-connect to the Avaya equipment and the others to cross-connect to any future monitoring equipment (the Verint if they keep it or something similar.)
This should have been posted last Friday, but I was actually working at work and when I got home I found Squirt was visiting. Given a choice between writing about work and playing with and writing about Squirt will have Squirt winning every time.
