Router Replacement
Protocol
Concept
We are replacing existing routers with new routers
at satellite offices of a national company. All systems are currently up
and running. To insure as smooth a transition as possible the current
router and computer system will be left on line while the new router is tested.
Once the new router is tested it will be installed and the cables that are
currently connected to the old router will be connected to the new router.
Overview of work - Do
a temporary hook up of a new router to the appropriate smart box
port to allow corporate techs to verify that router is functioning
properly. Upon function verification by corporate replace the old router
with the new router.
Preliminary Action
The satellite office must be contacted by proper
authorities before they will allow workman on the premises.
Please provide 3 dates to preformed the
work. Arrangements for one of those dates will be made and confirmed with you.
The routers are configured and delivered to
the satellite office by the corporate office prior to your
arrival.
1. Call job site and verify that new router is on
jobsite and verify site location number.
2. Contact Brad More at corporate to insure
that he will be available to test router at the time you expect
to have router ready to test.
3. Take with you miscellaneous items like wire
ties, nuts and bolts for rack brackets and tools necessasary to perform
work. Recommend a step ladder three foot to 6 foot in height.
