Ready to Wire
Moving along after the stall dealing with the daily workload. No one showed up to pull cable today, which let me mount the jack panels that will be accepting the floor jacks. RR2.1 is holding the LAN routers, fiber switches, and the RCAP (whatever that stands for) which is the ISDN back door to allow async access to the console ports of the LAN switches in the event that connectivity over the DS3s is dead. Also the patch panel to TE1. RR2.2 and RR2.3 have the voice and floor jack panels, and will be holding the LAN switches. 95+% of the patching will be with 12" cords -- easy tracing/replacing. Last rack, RR2.4, holds the big Cisco 8540 that handles the connection to the Avaya and it's roughly 200 voice lines. (That's the little box I'm standing next to a last week.)
