I must agree. There have been WAY too many posts to a legitimate topic with customer-premise or OSP wiring suggestions. Come on guys, read the entire thread before you throw in less than two cents worth. A problem tested at the CO main frame pretty much rules out "CAT5" station wiring BS suggestions (that was an exaggeration). A CO main frame is nothing like a few blocks placed on the wall for a key system by any stretch of the imagination. Please read the entire thread before you post; you aren't helping anybody by tossing in Community College Telecom 101 suggestions to a seasoned telco technician.
It's great to offer assistance, but some posts in this thread are clearly indicative of no prior review. Rest assured, a telco technician with 40 years' experience doesn't need to be told to "test it at the demarc".
I will say that the Siemens ESWD does have a mind of it's own. I will also say that I've heard from a few local Verizon techs in this area that phantom problems seem to be shelf-related if that offers any help. If the OE used for replacement is in the same shelf or bay, the problem will continue.
Is this a stand-alone or a remote? A question worth asking.
