Day 19 - An IT Archeological Goldmine
Sheesh, what is this place? I haven't been in here for years... The MPoE (Minimum Point of Entry) aka DMarc (demarcation point) as we call it.
You know how ATT leaves yellow pages on your doorstep, the ones that no one uses, well this is like your door step. Vendors drop Circuits and Phone lines here and then we are supposed to do something with them.
No one ever uses existing lines, can't be using soiled lines don't you know...so we get new lines brought in. No one ever removes their lines when they leave either, let the next guy clean this mess up...
...So imagine if you will 30 years of other peoples crap on this wall. Yes indeed, only about eight pairs of wires leave this room to my extended dmarc (another archeological dig) to control my entire site (phones/data). There are a couple 25pr that go into the ground but I haven't found where those go yet.
The funny thing is that there are live phone lines here (from past tenants) that somebody somewhere is (going to be) paying for and they don't know it yet...that bill will be a shocker when they finally track the co that the line belongs to.
You know I think I will clean this up...when I have time. :)
