Hnngh, talk about an anticlimax. Been hunting down this IP Office chassis to install in the telecoms lab and it *seems* to have a dead internal PSU.
It's gonna get repaired, of course, but it just totally killed all immediate forward progress.

Laying this -48VDC distribution panel out. AHhhhhhhhh red ground feels wrong, and it feels *even more wrong* to bond it.
I know I asked this a while back, but I'm stubbornly going to keep at it.
There are more than a few entities on fedi that are into standing up old phone networks, ranging from military field comms, business PBXes, even homelab ESS implementations.
But I can't find a dedicated hashtag for the life of me, so I'm going to pick one and run with it.
#OtherNetworks is a great catch-all for the more esoteric, #RetroLab is broad but you get the idea, and #HomeLab is *really* broad.
#Boost maybe? ❤️
On the other hand, single- and dual- card enclosures for the modern high-density stuff don't exist. Not like they're not available on the market -- they were never made. That would be sorta silly for a high-density product.
There could be a market* for that.
And by market* I mean a very small number of #retrolab #othernetworks #phone nerds who might like to 3D print this shit or something.
Spent some time fighting the Tandberg C60 to play nicely with #asterisk tonight, but happy to report that we got there.
It really _really_ wants to use H323, y'all, and saving certain SIP parameters via the web interface is bugged to hell (like auth?) -- you've got to jump into the CLI and set the parameters manually.
Made tweaks to codec lists on device and pbx, and we have g.722+h263p SIP calls working.
Wrapped it up with a nice custom wallpaper bow.
Heya internet, I'm in search of tags and accounts of people playing around with:
* older enterprise networking gear
* telephony gear and labs, particularly CO equipment
Seems like the kind of thing one should be able to find on Fedi :-)
