Well I pulled the cable out of the wall connector while it was still connected to my switch and held a piece of paper against it and could see a light on the paper which tells me my fiber module is working. I then connected it to the wall outlet and went to the other end in the NOC and did the same thing and no light. So maybe a little creature in the walls did some munching.

And for the same reason, you don't want to aim your camera directly at the light -- the laser can burn the sensor on your camera just as easily as it can burn your retina. -- Brad Knowles <[email protected]> LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
