Lightning Strike - Help! heh - 05/23/11 01:54 PM
Alright -
My customer took a very nearby lightning strike.
and I have the following symptons.
CO lines will dial in, and ring the right phones. when you answer cannot hear voice either direction.
when trying to pick a line from a phone, cannot hear/get dialtone
station to station, is extremely distorted
tried pulling all but one pdku2, and the rctuc3 and d3, and did a station to station call and still distorted.
I have three cabinets -
cabinet 1 -
in slots 1 and 2 I have rctuc3 and a rctu3d
all the remainder are filled with pdku2's
cabinet 2.
first 2 slots, pdku2's,third is rstu2, fourth is pdku2, fifth is 8 line co card, sixth is piou1
cabinet three -
2 line co card, and 2 pdku2's.
-------------------------------
Any thoughts on where to start. Could 1 or all the cabinets be damaged? I have no sign directly of the any scorching.
of course I know how little that means.
i have tried just pulling the co cards to see if that cleared the station to station intercom distortion, and that had no effect.
thanks
Michael
