Another project
This one is a bit easier -- just under 50 positions. Move in date is 17 days away, 11 working days.
As of now, the Telecommunications Equipment Room (TE1) has the incoming and outgoing cables run, but not terminated. The BB is up, and I should have the incoming punched down today. The outgoing cables, that connect to the 48 positions, cannot be terminated until I have a rack placed in which to mount the Cat-5 patch panels.
The rack cannot be bolted down until there is a covering over what is now a bare concrete floor. That is scheduled for the 12th. The equipment rack has yet to show up on site.
Meanwhile, the T1's that feed the LAN are up and working, the LAN equipment has arrived. I cannot mount the switches until the equipment rack is in, but I can not wait on it either. So the switches are strapped to a rolling cart (so I can move them out of the room when they are doing the floor) powered up, interconnected with their fibers, and connected to the incoming T1's. My Implimentor checked my connections, all correct, and we can set the LAN up and have it working and tested without waiting until the last minute.
