Thank you Tito!

Greg most telephone systems are setup so only authorized techs can work on them. Many of the new systems you can purchase the hardware but for it to work you need proprietary software which is only available to certified techs. You think we were hard on you but how would you react to an electrician moving your server then asking you why it doesn't work after its moved?

Because an electrician doesn't know the first thing about computer networking. HOWEVER, phone and data are a matched set. You will almost always find people who list themselves as data/telecom or some other such combination. Phone and data are interrelated, work on the same concepts, and are a very close comparison. Electrician and networking however are not.

Times, they are achanging... time to learn to adapt or be left behind. And kicking the new guy who is "encroaching" on your turf... THAT is the "good ole boy" concept I am referring to.

Your wrong there is as much difference between telecom and data as there is between electrical and data. You moving a phone system is the same to me as an electrician moving a server. As several here have said they have many years of telecom experience and will not touch a system they are not familiar with there is a reason for that.


PS If you think we were hard on you go post your statement at Mike Holts
A good way to tell the difference between a data tech and a telecom tech.

How many conductors are in a RJ45?

Depends... 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet or 1000BASE-T Ethernet?

10/100 requires two cable pairs, 1000 requires 4. Telecom RJ45 typically would fall under the 10/100 category, but it is dependent on the manufacturer specs on their hardware as well.

Or are you making a feeble attempt to make some sort of point?

Oh lord not RJ45 again!! :rofl:

Ed, is that smoke I see coming from your ears, all the way from Virginia?

OK, good ole boys... point made. I will continue to advance my knowledge elsewhere I suppose. Y'all have fun in these here parts! Y'Hear?

Wow...

I'm up to debate a topic all night and day. But start making your inside jokes at someones expense? Sorry, sign me off for that.

If someone would like to explain the RJ45 comment I'd be happy to listen (and learn, it's what I do). But use it to poke fun at someone that isn't in the 'good ole boy' group, forget it.
