The last of the 144 cross-connects are in place and my patch jacks are now match the Avaya equipment one-on-one. The telephone numbers are in numeric order from Jack 2 to Jack 141. (jacks 1 and 142 are test lines, 143 and 144 are vacant but wired anyhow.) My floor jacks, in the adjacent rack, are also in numeric order. You want a specific phone at a specific desk? Just plug one end of a modular patch cord into the telephone line and the other to the desk. Done! (About 5 seconds work.)

The cables to the desks are numbered 1 to whatever. The position numbers on the desks were based upon the ACD (whatever that is) position numbers of the ISDN telephones -- which claim to be in downtown L.A.. The new 'phone system has a different set of position numbers and claim to be in San Diego. The map on the wall has the new position numbers and I will add my floor jack numbers to that map.
