The BBN Cambridge POP is "down and out" after a nearby manhole fire cut power to the building housing the POP.
-Where is the generator backup?
It's my understanding that BBN had emergency generator backup, but that it was insufficient to cover this outage. I'm pretty sure I saw that in one of their ticket emails last night, although it's not in the official ticket history.
It's my understanding that a battery supply that lasts long enough to get the emergency generator running, along with a fuel contractor to keep the generator topped off, can last over rather long outages. -- Phil Howard KA9WGN +-------------------------------------------------------+ Linux Consultant | Linux installation, configuration, administration, | Milepost Services | monitoring, maintenance, and diagnostic services. | phil at milepost.com +-------------------------------------------------------+
