I have endless battles with the telephony guys in operations about this - they want things like "G.703 all the way through" (instead of using an NTU - - that's NZ for CSU). They don't seem to care that the interface required to do this natively is horrendously expensive and a pain to provision. Would you believe for recent project, they told me I was: 1. Not allowed to use multimode fibre, 2. Not allowed to run cables in conduits between racks, 3. Had to drill a hole in the exchange floor, run single mode to an approved patch panel, and drill another hole up in the other rack - for two racks almost next to each other??? ARRRG! Life inside a telephone company is just as bad as outside - we internal customers don't get any favours... :( - -- Josh Bailey (<A HREF="mailto:joshb@xtra.co.nz">mailto:joshb@xtra.co.nz</A> - GroupWise <A HREF="mailto:j6bw@telecom.co.nz">mailto:j6bw@telecom.co.nz</A>) Internet Network Specialist Voice (DDI): +64-9-355-5923 Telecom Internet Services Voice (Mob): +64-25-514-899 Extension: 93423 (Lvl. 4, 120 Mayoral Dve) Fax: +64-9-355-5260 Private Bag 92028, Auckland, NZ Pager: +64-26-114-448 PGP public key available at <A HREF="http://www.pgp.net/pgpnet/pks-commands.html">http://www.pgp.net/pgpnet/pks-commands.html</A> DISCLAIMER: Viewer discretion is advised. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQB1AwUBNFDzEvle+GEe9W4hAQGSAAL/X43MWd10g4Neks2PmMlQiaXtnYXqcdw+ f9kV8ZnWCQ8hegkxfrqKqpS8J1heEubyrzPjCF0a/NWH9VE3QoyB4HcZo0YLHRAw YaTex8Eqyikkfr8uWDHlIaKRkjyxPiWf =xRC8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request@bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <<A HREF="http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq">http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq</A>> </PRE> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <HR> <STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A HREF="msg10047.html">(ASCEND) Maxes colocated in COs?</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: Phillip Vandry <vandry@Mlink.NET></LI> </UL> </UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <HR> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg10065.html">Re: (ASCEND) Hunt group on BRIs</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg10061.html">(ASCEND) CLID callback for Pipe 25s?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg10047.html">(ASCEND) Maxes colocated in COs?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg10051.html">(ASCEND) Max Stacking and Multi-logins</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="maillist.html#10062"><STRONG>Main</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thrd215.html#10062"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> </BODY> </HTML>
