Baggie method? I thought everything was wireless now?

I wondered what just happened 😯

Thanks!

Is that from a Monty Python movie? I am showing my age.

We used the baggies because we could get more of the wire inside. Hated paint on the wiring.

We just used the bags the jacks came in, not need to buy something you already have. (We never bought in bulk).

I like your idea. ^^^^^^

This was literally our 1st 9100 install with IP phones. If there is a next time I will space out
the IP ports.....

We always start with port 100 for IP phones. Doesn't interfere with the physical ports that way.

Thanks Dan. I already added the appropriate resource licenses.

Since your jacks snap in from the back of the plates, terminate your wires, then wrap them in the cheap, store brand baggies- the ones without zippers that they practically give away- to keep paint off your terminations, then go thru and plate everything after the painting is done. Quicker for you, quicker for the painters who now can just spray and get lost , as opposed to having to cut in everywhere.

Taping over the plates before painting is going to leave a tattle-tail ring of unpainted drywall around the plate. Might not fly with the GC.

If you have IP phones working on the ports you described they will not be affected when you slot the digital blade.

The only question is what the system is licensed for, basic CP10 was 48 ports

Avaya off-premises range extender would work

Thanks for letting us know!

That was the plan. We could terminate, plate and cover the plate with painters tape. This would allow us to start terminating prior to painting and give us a bigger window. We are looking at about 500 terminations. Thanks.

I would be concerned about splatter plus the fact that you now have to make another trip back to put on faceplates/labels.

Ended up being the digital card. All is good now.
