The link upgrade to 128k _almost_ made it in time for the Easter break.
After extracting a definite promise from our Telecom account manager that
the upgrade would be done last week the actual work was all completed last
Thursday. A new NTU (network terminator unit) was installed by the
Telecom contractor, and wired up to the Blenheim exchange. The other
end of this link, in Auckland, was connected into one of KCCS's stacked
wideband DDS and tested. Everything looked good until the new link was
connected on Thursday afternoon, all the correct lights on the NTU
but no data moving.
After many phone calls it seems that the installation person did indeed
correctly install the new NTU, however it had been left in loopback
mode for testing and being the last day of work before Easter he was in
a rush to get away.
And getaway he did, leaving us without the promised new DDS circuit..
No doubt after the holiday someone will realise the situation and
quietly remove the loopback.
Not before I have a real groan at our account manager.
