[cisco-voip] problems with dead VG224 ports with overhead inter-building wiring

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

Can't remember, but I don't think it's that far actually. I wish there was an easy way to read the data sheet and test the line to see it's within specs. It's just beyond me right now.

When is the cable length between the VG224 and the troublesome endpoints? Not familiar with the VG224 but perhaps there is a gain setting that can be changed in it?

I don't have all the details (isn't that always fun) but we seem to have some problems with VG224 ports that are connected via cable plant to another building. This cabling is overhead cabling. We have some pretty fancy lightning arrestors installed but the problems seem to keep happening. Basically the port goes dead, no dial tone, no error tone. 

The units we're using are the 4B1S-300 located here:

Are we using the wrong thing? Is there something better? Different? 

The client has some sensitive usage going on using these lines and these outages are causing some grief to their daily operation. 

Any thoughts would be well received.
