WORK EXPERIENCE

CGI install of: Century Link Internet Router, Switch WS-C2960K-48LPD-L Router, Check Point Firewall, Cisco Router 2921/K9, Cisco Nexus N3K-C3048TP-1GE Switch, Cisco Switch WS-C2960K-48LPD-L, Websense, ProLiant DL380 Gen10 HPE Server (Smart Source)

March 22, 2019- March 25,2019

When unable to connect the devices above to the internet, this tech followed common troubleshooting steps in Raleigh along with the company tech staff in Canada:

Verified equipment had power by cycling the power; or turning off and then back on.

Confirmed cabling was installed correctly, by simply unplugging the cable and plugging it back in.

Found janitor who opened the building basement wiring room where this tech validated that the drop installed by Century Link was active

Trace Routes, Source and Destination Pings were necessary for Century Link to assist in resolution of the issue and performed by me here in Raleigh and by the Canadian tech team

Troubleshot IP addresses

Century Link determined the Network IP address was not what was agreed upon with customer CGI

Once Century Link used the agreed upon Network IP address, connectivity was established by me here at the Raleigh site

This tech then determined that the site did not have a DB-9 connector. The end of a DB-9 would then connect to the RJ-45 serial cable which then would connect to the COM port on my laptop for router configuration.

Once a company employee purchased a DB-9 connector, the router configuration file was unzipped on the router and the router configuration proceeded without incident and the other network devices above were also able to be configured and installed

September 2015 - January 2016

JOB OVERVIEW

This project was a plug-and-play CradlePoint installation (in some sites, CradlePoint & WAN Accelerator). All sites had a CradlePoint install and some sites had a WAN installed as well. On the schedule, if we saw YES under the WAN Accelerator we were to install a CradlePoint and WAN, otherwise it was a CradlePoint only.

The provider was required to successfully complete:

Unbox of CradlePoint and allow it to update

Record CradlePoint MAC Address on Location Completion Form

If the site installation included a WAN Accelerator, completed that installation first prior to installing the new CradlePoint. The WAN Accelerator was to be installed before the store opened so business was not disrupted by the outage.

Removed existing CradlePoint & followed step-by-step instructions for new CradlePoint installation

Connected it to switch and port in OMR/Server room and found the maximum acceptable signal

Mounted the CradlePoint and finalized the install
