Accomplishments in May:
* All old 5ESS cabinets (e.g. SM=92s) were removed from building 24.
* All Jumpers and Cables were cut back.
* Coordinated the disconnection of the Vesda (smoke detection) system=20
while drilling in 24
* SM6 was slid from its temporary location (which was borrowed space=20
from the R&M team across the hall) to a temporary location within the=20
switchroom until the hot slide.
* All units associated with SM006 (core and its peripherals) have been=
=20
tested with results of ATP (all test pass procedure) and grown.
* Some errors were received on the ROP and determined to be related to=
=20
the GPS clocking system. RTAC provided a technical support to resolve this=
=20
problem.
* Bldg 24 switchroom is prepped and ready for the hot slide (moving=20
live equipment into a permanent location) July 12th. This work will begin=
=20
at 6pm and if all goes well it will be completed by midnight. This=20
includes bolting equipment to the floor, performing inter-SM locking and=20
cutting the slacked cables.
* NW12 has most jumpers removed and all cabinets (SM=92s) from the old=
=20
5ESS have been removed.
* Issues that arose at NW12 had to do with security of the Nuclear=20
Science building and the coordination with Lucent and their trucking=20
company to have that area manned by MIT at all times. MIT had to oversee=20
this operation and at times turned the trucking company away when Lucent=20
did not follow procedures and guidelines (good job Artie).
* Coordinated the disconnection of the Vesda (smoke detection) system=20
while drilling in NW12.
* NW12 is prepped and ready for the hot slide schedule on Friday July=20
19th.
* NW12 will be slightly more difficult than 24 since it has a GDPF (The=
=20
5ESS Power) cabinet which needs to be moved along with the SM cabinets.
* The installation of grounding cable and the moving of existing=20
grounds was completed on weekends during the night 06/29 to July 2nd
* E19 has all jumpers removed.
* All W89 blocks have been permanently installed on all the MDF=92s.
* Shut down all of the old 5ESS in E19 and there was a noticeable=20
difference of A/C capacity.
* Removal of the old 5ESS in E19 is still being performed.
* Will coordinate the disconnection of the Vesda (smoke detection)=20
system while drilling in E19.
* Spares inventory is being updated and documented.
* Power cabling mined out and new cabling being sewn down on the cable=
=20
rack
* The timing leads in the CM 3 shelf were moved on July 1st, this=20
included having MIT technician on site to cover any grounding problems that=
=20
could have occurred.
* E19 is being prepped for the hot slide on July 26th. We will have=20
folks from other 5ESS sites observing this =93never been done before=94 hot=
slide.
* We've conquered all troubles related to the cut over and are=20
functioning normally.
* We continue to have minor anomalies with ICE 9 but, they are not=20
effecting the completion of Service Orders (SO) or repairs. Jana is=20
heading the modifications and is doing an excellent job working with our=20
off site consultant. We are operating normally.
* We continue to meet with Lucent on Thursday in E19-732. This will=20
occur until the project is complete (e.g. removal of classic equipment, hot=
=20
slide, clean-up and spares on-site).
* We continue to meet with Lucent Management one Wednesday a month or=20
as needed.
* The management meeting lead by Nate Johnson has been interesting,=20
challenging and a learning experience.
Next Month=92s plans:
=B7 Perform 3 hot slides (e.g. moving a working telephone switch=
within=20
the switchroom. The following schedule will be:
1. Friday at 6pm on 7/12/02 for Bldg. 24
2. Friday at 6pm on 7/19/02 for NW12
3. Friday at 6pm on 7/26/02 for E19. This will be the=20
most complex and intricate hot slide due to the Command Module (CM) and the=
=20
Administration module (AM) also have to move.
Note: This hot slide has never been performed elsewhere. There are=20
service effecting risks associated with this hot slide given we have over=20
22,000 lines and more than 2,000 trunks in service. Therefore, we have=20
planned to perform one switch site at a time and to start with the least=20
complicated and end with the most critical switch site.
=B7 We will cut down on all cable lengths after hot slide (eliminating=
=20
the extra slack that was needed before the slide).
* Devise an alternate spares and exchange system (Lucent will not be=20
providing this after the cutover). We will continue to explore=20
opportunities and options.
=B7 Redesign E19 switchroom, including surrounding offices and=20
equipment that had been moved prior to the start of this=20
project. This will include the addition of 4 new staff members and=
=20
possible 4 new contracted members. This design process will occur=20
in conjunction with Christine Cavanna (I/S Space Planning) and=20
encompass all TNS staff in E19.
=B7 Resolve any outstanding issues related to the 5ESS, ACD, or ICE 9.
=B7 Design and test a plan for installing more features.
=B7 Training CSR=92s, Operators and HD on the operation of each=
feature=20
and codes associated.
=B7 Design a plan to deploy new telephone sets (e.g. analog sets with=
=20
caller id).
=B7 Work on contract =93issues=94 that are not being met by Lucent and=
=20
investigate alternate ptions with other vendors.
=B7 Work on establishing additional DID (direct-Inward-dial telephone=
=20
numbers) for growth on campus (either to find a vendor that can work=
=20
with our current range or investigating two ther options 1)=20
increasing the dialing pattern on campus from 5 digits (3-1000) to 7=20
digits 253-100) or changing area codes for all of MIT. (this will most=
=20
likely have a short term solution and establish a long term solution=
=20
that will initiate another delivery project.
Issues:

MIT=20
with a immediate (within 24/hour) replacement parts for the entire=20
switching system. They do not find this program feasible but will=20
honor our agreement until the end of the year. We will look at=20
all options and find the best for MIT. (This is currently paid for=20
under the maintenance contract. If Lucent can not provide this service,=20
we will see a lower monthly (contracted) nvoice for 5E Maintenance (<=20
5,000/mo. Or 58,000+/yr)
=B7 The MIT weather line 3-1234 had a unique configuration off of the=
=20
5ESS that we needed to einvent on the new 5ESS. (we will need to=20
reevaluate the technology going forward=85 I urrently have Lucent putting=
a=20
quote together for a 17A recorded announcement).
=B7 When Lucent is completed with this project, there are pieces of=20
equipment that MIT and the Lucent Maintenance Techs are not trained=20
on. We will work closely with Lucent to get training materials=20
(classes, documents and cd rom=92s are covered in the purchase of=20
the switch). Lucent has agreed to be a phone call a way until our=20
technicians are trained.
(Some did not see this piece as it was distorted when sent):
Here are some interesting differences between the installations of the 5ESS=
=20
in 1987 vs. 2002.
5ESS installed in 1987 5ESS=20

lines) 100% on 5/24/02 (22,000 lines)
(22,000 lines/2,046 trunks)
=BD on Oct. 28, 1988 (approx. 8,652=20
lines)
Turnover of switch: February 10,=20
1989 Planned for: 7/29-8/1/2002
% of lines out-of-service at cut: ISDN =3D 51% not=20
working less than 1% of both ISDN/analog
Analog =3D 32-43% not working
Avg. length of time lines were
out-of-service: 7 to 14 days (some cases months) 24=

Other peripheral equipment working
off of the 5ESS: 1) Voice=20

10) Modem pool size (approx. 100+) 315
Dynamics:
I don=92t have words to describe how proud I am of this team (including our=
=20
leadership support). This cutover was successful because MIT made it=20
successful. MIT fully ran this project from management down to technical=20
engineering. THANK YOU all for putting your heart and soul into making=20
this look like a piece of cake.
The core team fully appreciates the recognition that was provided by Nate=20
Johnson. All were very surprised and very grateful. The team also wants=
=20
to thank Jim Bruce, Kate Kibbee, and ITLT for their involvement and=20
specifically for approving Nate=92s proposal.
Key Learnings:
This was and still is an enormous and very complex project and each person=
=20
that contributed to any part of this project should be proud for their=20
efforts and contributions.
Thanks,

</u></b></font>I don=92t have words to describe how proud I am of this team
(including our leadership support). This cutover was successful
because MIT made it successful. MIT fully ran this project from
management down to technical engineering. THANK YOU all for putting
your heart and soul into making this look like a piece of
cake.<font size=3D1> <br><br>
</font>The core team fully appreciates the recognition that was provided
by Nate Johnson. All were very surprised and very
grateful. The team also wants to thank Jim Bruce, Kate
Kibbee, and ITLT for their involvement and specifically for approving
Nate=92s proposal.<br><br>
