Just want to show some pics of the telecom wall I built for my wife's class.


Front of telecom wall 3different systems
Executone CX512 old 2 pair station wiring
Panasonic KX-TA1232 Hybrid system using analog ports for CO lines for other systems
Vodavi STS Digital single pair station wiring (Donated by Ed) :bow: also MOH device
Bottom shelf for Asterisk and Panavoice boxes


Back side of wall, replaceable sheetrock panels on top and bottom for jack mounting and wire fishing
Cat 5 patch panel to practice terminating

Nice job. :rofl:

Finally! Someone actually teaching the roots of telecommunications! Thank you Merrritt and Crystal for taking the bold step to do so. I really hope that this program works and brings some new blood into our industry.

On a side note, isn't that Vodavi STS KSU upside-down?

Ed you caught that, its not upside down the cable is plugged into the exp port (keep it out of the way) that cable will go to a 25 pair that goes to rear of classroom for phones back there. The Vodavi cables are on the right side (hidden) and go to the 110 blocks below it. I need top get a wall mount for the phone so it won't need to sit on top of PC

What age level are the students?

High school mostly 11-12 grade some 9-10 grade in A+ class

nice work!

merrit i would like to donate a nortel phone system pre terminated on BIX let me know if you are interested free of course

Who actually build the display? :confused:

I have an Axxess sitting in my basement at home..since I am now at college.
Want it??
PS. I wish we had the phone system stuff in my classes in high school. I had to learn the hard way!
