The last day

Today was my last day, I’m taking off tomorrow for my wedding on Saturday. Today I mostly stayed around the office. I made sure I got all my paperwork straightened out. For lunch some of the guys took me out to eat, I said goodbye to everyone. It has been a good experience for me. It was stressful and physically demanding but overall I enjoyed it. Before I left I was told if I ever needed a Job to just give them a call. It felt good to hear that.

Cleaning up the office

The last few days I have just been cleaning up the office and their storage building. I’m almost finished Jim wanted to make sure he got any information that I have pertaining to any of the projects I worked on. The majority of it was getting paperwork done for Berea College.

Pulling lots of wire

August 8 – 10

This week I have pulled more wire then I have ever pulled in my entire life. I’m kind of getting tired of it a little but we are done with most of the wire pulls at LMU. Maybe I’ll get to be at the
office next week!

More Wire pulls

Today Jim told me that I would be doing mostly wire pulls and stuff around the office sense I would be done in a couple of weeks. He didn’t want to put my on any more big projects. So today I ran around with the wire guys and pulled a few cables in a couple of different buildings.

Wireless Server Fixed

Today we worked on the wireless server again. After struggling today, time after time we finally figured out what the problem was. There was a setting in the master server that was turned on and the client server also had it turned on. Once we turned it off it came up like a charm. After that issue was fixed I went with the wire guys to another building to help them pull some wire.

Wireless setup

This week we started setting up the wireless server for LMU. Today we got the server setup but there was an issue where it wouldn’t communicate with the master server. We worked most of the day trying to figure out the problem but we still aren’t sure what is wrong. We’ll be looking at it again tomorrow.

LMU Switches

Well today we finally finished installing switches and patching them through on the patch panel. We ran into some issues bringing up the switches and then bringing up the building. The problems with the links between the switches were just fiber mismatches. When this happens the send and receive strands of the fiber have gotten crossed so that it is trying to send information on the receive strand and receive information on the send strand. Flipping the links corrects this issue. The link between the core router and the building is a 10GB Redundant fiber link. There were some issues with the configuration of the core router and the switches on the other end of that link.
