[c-nsp] Looping up far end smartjack

[Richey]

I just thought about that for a second..   If the T1 is down then the router
will be down as well.   In the event of a power outage I still can't tell if
the power is off or the T1 is down.    If I can hit the smart jack and not
the router then I could assume it's a power outage.

I was hoping to avoid having to go to the colo late at night.   We did
finally hear from the customer. A breaker had tripped and they person on
duty had no idea where the breakers were in the building.

 

T1 duty was long ago in a galaxy far away for me...but aren't NIUs all
line-powered?  That is, wouldn't you want to loop the remote CSU/DSU anyway
to confirm power?
