Attached: 1 video The whole place is, as you would expect, wonderfully electromechanical. Here’s a cool connection demonstrator.
Laying this -48VDC distribution panel out. AHhhhhhhhh red ground feels wrong, and it feels *even more wrong* to bond it.
The last piece (an edge connector) needed to bootstrap the HDSL4 T1 handoff on bench is coming in sometime later today.
So now we're designing the -48V distribution plant and I kinda want to go all-DIN on that. I wonder how sketchy terminal blocks and the like are from ebay.
How extra does it have to be before we're officially Extra with the CO TDM project?
The H4TU-C cards are due to be delivered today (theoretically)...
...but now I'm noodling on picking up a building entrance terminal and set up a 110 block handoff.
...... reaaaally this is an excuse to add those pluggable surge suppressors to the mix. I saw them in an RT cabinet "tour" years ago and really want to add them here. For completeness. Yeah.
Good news! My H4TU-C card has been delivered!
... bad news: it was delivered to the wrong address, about 5 states away.
Making up for it short term with updating the firmware on our TA908, which is only about 6 major versions out of date, and then we're gonna see about linking it somewhere.
Then, maybe, set up the 908 to be a SIP-TDM gateway and tie the IP Office to it? Egress through @eventphone 's EPVPN until I get my act together?
