UTM Telecommunications supervisor Mark McAlpin checks the stacks for correct placement and verifies he has no clue what he's looking at.  Wait!  He spies the ethernet port in a LAN card and feels better.

Cabling arrives and takes up more room.  How can I do daily operations with all this stuff in here?

Switch tails are run.

Then David and Troy land the switch tails to the new blocks.

Troy from SeTel lands the field cables on the other end of the backboard.  Once this is done they can cross-connect the switch to the buildings.  Note the back wall, where the existing building frames on 66 blocks are and the other end of the field cables that Troy is working on.  The plan is to remove the existing cross-connects to the old PBX and replace them with the other end of the field cables for a quick cutover.  A lot depends on how well I have the stations to pairs documented though...

Cross-connections for the new system is begun.
