RE: [Asterisk-Users] Telephone line installation.

[Brian Leyton]

Every time I've ever dealt with a Telco, the rule has been that they will install it to the "demarc" - the point of demarcation between telco's responsibility and yours.  Depending on where the demarc for your building is, they may or may not install jacks - for example, if the demarc is outside, they probably won't, but if they're inside in a protected area, they probably would install jacks if you requested it.   Even so, the telco makes lots of money off of installations, so they will always be happy to install the jacks wherever you want, at your expense.  Typically it's part of the overall installation charge, billed in 1/4 hour increments, with a minimum of something like 1 hour.  When you call to order the lines, they'll probably ask if you want them to install the jacks.   Then they'll make even more money if they can sell you the inside wire maintenance plan...   Brian Leyton IT Manager Commercial Petroleum Equipment -----Original Message----- From: Manjit Riat [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2005 6:13 PM To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Telephone line installation. We are going to be doing an asterisk install with 5-7 lines. So we are looking to get two TDM04B cards. Now I believe when you get your telco(Sprint, etc.) to install the lines they basically just leave the wires without jacks. Am I right? If so, then can we ask them to install the jacks or would we have to do them ourselves?
