What started out as a simple call for help for a phone system that wasn’t working soon turned in to a much bigger job.
It seems the early morning thunder storms over the Northern Suburbs brought with it a few million volts down the client’s phone lines. The PABX had been completely destroyed – the arrestors had literally been vapourized off the PCB. We were able to set up temporary diversions then set about replacing the PABX, handsets, patch panels, wall sockets and other components that had been damaged. The system was up and running overnight.
