Techforce Telecom Hiring for Cisco IP installation Job at Linden, IN Full Time

We are currently rolling out new Cisco telephone systems in facilities throughout the United States. In support of this effort we have been tasked with installing routers (ISR) and voice gateways (VG). The ISR installation is fairly simple, typically only requiring installation of the single RMU ISR, two fiber jumpers from the ISR to the core network switches and, for some ISR’s, move a PRI circuit (or multiple PRI circuits) from existing equipment to the ISR. The VA still uses quite a few analog devices (fax machines, modems, etc.) so VG’s are being installed to provide analog extensions from the Cisco IP telephone system. The VA typically uses the following five VG models: Model Analog Port Count Amphenol Cable Count VG204 4 Modular RJ11 VG310 24 1 VG320 48 2 VG350 96 4 VG450 144 6 VG310, 320, 350 and 450’s require 25-pair Amphenol cables to be connected to the chassis and then terminated to the customer’s termination wall field Depending on local preference, the VA uses all types of industry standard terminations (i.e. 110, 66, BIX) but 110 is the most prevalent. A basic scope of work for ISR and VG installation is: * Install ISR and VG(s) in rack and properly label * Install necessary patch cable and 25-pair wiring. This wiring is typically installed in cable tray or in raised floor, and devices to be connected are typically in same MDF or server room. There is no horizontal cabling within this task. Wiring typically consists of: o Two fiber jumpers per ISR. These jumpers connect to the core switch stack and vary in length from 2 to 10+ meters. o Category 6 patch cables from ISR to demarc extension for PRI connection o Two Category 6 patch cables for each VG, connecting to customer specified switch stack and port. Length varies depending on site specifics. o 25-pair amphenol cables from VG’s to termination wall field. o Two power cables per device * Log into ISR and VG’s to enter basic config (ip address, hostname, etc.). Configs and instructions are provided. * Move analog extensions from legacy system to the Cisco VG’s. Using a test set, each analog extension is verified and tested before and after it is moved. A legacy telephone with a LCD is connected to the legacy system, and a new Cisco IP phone is connected to the Cisco system, for test calling extensions from each system. As the extensions are moved the old cross connect is removed and new, different colored cross connect is installed. * After removing any identifying information, crush and dispose of equipment boxes and any other trash created by installation. Some facilities install new racks for this equipment so occasionally the technicians will be asked to build a 4-post rack or similar.
