In the woodworking room, there's a comms cabinet with patch panels for several wallports. | |||
The CNC room - former nursery - had almost no networking, and very few power outlets. A wallport has been installed on the ceiling, having re-routed two network sockets from the kitchen area above. The remainder of the sockets in the patch panels are fair game. We will need a network switch in that cabinet, because the existing one there is probably unsuitable due to it's use by Brent Council. | |||

The Ground floor patch panel in the woodworking room is shared responsibility. Due to one room on the ground floor being used by Brent Council - they have their own networking equipment and run from the 3rd floor comms room. | |||

* Two new purple jacketed cat6 cables from the ground floor cabinet to the 1st floor server room, run in on 2018-07-10. They go up a riser in the north east corner and then run above the ceiling tiles into the server room, in cable tray for some of the way.

* There are a large number of network sockets spread around the 1st floor, many (all?) of which seem to be run back via bundles of grey cat5e (?) cable to the server room, also partially in cable trays. | * There are a large number of network sockets spread around the 1st floor, many (all?) of which seem to be run back via bundles of grey cat5e (?) cable to the server room, also partially in cable trays. | ||

* Previous tenants had removed their patch panel from the 1st floor comms room, work in progress to re-terminate all the wallports. Currently up to port 27 terminated and tested, port numbers as per patch panel number, when we get to 49, we'll need to renumber the numbers on the second 2U patch panel | |||
* Inter-floor links are terminated on a 1U patch panel at the top of the cabinet. | |||
