The current location of our old router was where our old Nortel PBX was located. We are looking at relocating the 2911 into our data centre which will require us to push the PRI signal (we have two) from our demarc room through the building to our data centre, using in house copper cabling. How far have any of you been successful in pushing a PRI/T1 signal and if you needed to put in a ‘booster’ what booster do you recommend. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The distance we are going is between 800 and 1000 feet. I have read that this distance is workable but. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>I have, in testing, connected the new 2911 to one of the PRI (HDSL) devices and I can see that it connects by running cablelength commands on the VG. If I use cablelength -22db I can get the HDSL light to indicate it is connected but a show controller T1 still shows that controller 0/0/1 is down. So I believe the cable length is too long or I am missing something else.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Any assistance and sharing of knowledge would be appreciated.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Thanks<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Terry<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Terry Oakley</span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Telecommunications Coordinator </span><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#33CC33;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>| </span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Information Technology Services<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Red Deer College </span></b><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#33CC33;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>|</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>100 College Blvd. </span><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#33CC33;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>|</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#33CC33;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'> </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Box 5005 </span><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#33CC33;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>| </span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Red Deer<b> </b></span><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#33CC33;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>|</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#33CC33;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'> </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Alberta </span><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#33CC33;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>| </span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>T4N 5H5<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>work (403) 342-<b>3521 </b></span><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#33CC33;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>| </span></b><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'> </span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>FAX (403) 343-4034</span><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
