I am guessing you are working on MPF from the exchange? We are talking about MPF from the Sub Loop/PCP, and I have yet to find any DSLAM kit that enables us to put a wetting current on the line (i wish we could), and I am not sure from a regulatory perspective we are allowed. Our only option is to deploy some sort of voip platform with analog lines out and and then inject the DSL on top, that works but it adds a lot of cost and complexity to the cabinet deployment for little gain.
We tend to find a wetting current on MPFs is enough to keep all but the most inept OR pair thieves at bay and most kit supports it (added bonus as Paul said that it stops the copper joints corroding over time). They *should* be looking for dialtone/current or both. -- Ben King <[email protected] <[email protected]>> *WarwickNet - The Business & Science Park ISP* Tel: 024 7699 7222 Mob: 07973 848007 http://www.warwicknet.com What we do - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OSNmyoRBLg
