    Quick Disconnect

    Hello all, I have a situation where analog phones are commonly moved abruptly, ripping the phone jack out of the wall. Does anyone know of a quick disconnect type adapter that can go inline at the wall plate to reduce this problem? Yes, I know it sounds odd, and it shouldnt be this way, but it...

    SSR.net upgradability

    Hello all. I was curious if anyone had any information available for the SSR.net boxes. Any documentation would be great. Specifically, I am curious if we can expand the memory in ours. We poll it several times a day to pull the CDRs off, but would be nice to store more if we had to. The...

    Extending a DS3

    I have used Adtran's OCU 45 product line a few times to move DS3 over fiber to a distant site and worked well. They have SM and MM variants. http://www.adtran.com/web/page/portal/Adtran/group/49

    What Terminal Emulator to use for Win XP and Vista?

    I use Vandyke's SecureCRT for all my terminal needs on XP and Vista and couldn't be happier. I have never connected to a Meridian system with it, but use it for telnet/ssh into servers, console into routers, ethernet switches, carrier transport equipment and dialup as well. Maybe it will be...

    Fax Machine

    This has been a constant battle for us in our service area with VoIP transport and fiber to the home installations. In general, we can get faxs working tweaking the line configuration on our ONT at the customer site, and sometimes in our voice gateway. Modem dialup calls are the worst though...

    common jr - sr network engineer interview questions

    An interesting question I was once asked was what did my home network look like. I answered that it was pretty simple, a basic Linksys broadband router and a couple of Windows desktops. At the end of the interview, he told me he'd like to have heard I was doing more interesting things at home...

    Residential wiring standards

    A place to start on the fiber side would be the Fiber Optic Association's CFxT certification - Certified Fiber Optic Technician for FTTx (fiber to the home, fiber to the premises, fiber to the curb) http://www.thefoa.org/FTTX/index.html

    T1/T3 Test & Troubleshoot Training

    Hello, does anyone have any recommendations on a good training program for T1/T3 testing? I can do the basics of looping up remote NIU/CSU running patterns and things, but dont always know the benefits of the different patterns. Even a good flow chart would be useful. Thanks!

    Rack mounting equipment alone

    This seemed to be the most appropriate forum I could find to ask my question. How do you tackle rack mounting equipment when you have to work alone? I was thinking of picking up some appropriate sized all-thread and start it in the rack at desired location, then slide the equipment on it...

    Adding a stub to an existing environment (home lab)

    Most likely, your linksys will need a route for 10.0.103.0 255.255.255.0 pointing to site A's E0. Start from the linksys and see how far you can ping things. May need a similar route for 172.16.2.0 255.255.255.0 to see the WAN interfaces.

    Add ethernet to 2811

    A simple search would have answered my question. Ignore this post.

    Add ethernet to 2811

    I have a customer with a 2811 router currently. They are using both ethernet interfaces and need to add another routable interface. Will the HWIC-4ESW let me achieve this? It look'd to me like it would by assigning the IP on the VLAN interface and making the ports a member of the appropriate...

    I have a customer that uses VIC-2FXS cards throughout his network for interoffice VoIP calls. These just serve lines into his phone systems at all the offices and seems to work well for him. Now, he wishes to add more capacity to the main office and is asking about T1 capabilities to the phone...

    Best multilink configuration?

    Thats kinda what I thought as well. I have made my recommendations to my customer regarding the multilink setup. I had another customer sometime back who setup multilink with virtual-template but it seemed to cause them problems trying to bring the logical interface up. Hopefully they will just...

    Best multilink configuration?

    I have a customer who is about to come online using 2 T1s in multilink. He sent me his configuration to look over. I am not sure why he is setting up multilink in this manner. Here is the relevant config: interface Loopback0 ip address 192.168.1.42 255.255.255.252 ! interface Serial0/0 no...

    Problem with Multilink !!!

    Do you experience the same problem if you remove some of the lines from the bundle? The reason I ask is I had a similar situation. I was providing a 4 T1 multilink group from a 7206VXR (using PA-MC-T3 with channelized T1) to a 3662 (using NM-2W with WIC-2Ts I think, customer router so memory...

    I have a customer who services its own customers with internet. It is a small business development center. Currently the setup works by me providing a T1 to the location and they distribute internet to the tenants using ethernet. Now my customer has ran into the problem of some users using...

    Cisco Optical Specialist

    I would read through the Optical Design book once before you go if possible. If you dont pick it all up the first time around, dont sweat it. I was lost in alot of it prior to the boot camp. As long as your class is a good one (I highly recommend the Global Knowledge camp) everything you...
