Hi
Does anyone know a good site to get a **** set phone (Test phone), a Harris, fluke, or greenlee etc, would do. Can't find very many sites (Canada or USA), and the few that have them want $250-450/ea.
I'm an industrial electrician so I would only use it a couple times a year, so don't want to spend that much, it would be different if i did VDV all the time.
Example was last time, we had a comms problem between a CTRL 5000 PLC and a RMC 150 and we needed to get an electrical eng to dial on a modem to RMC rack (we do our own PLC programming) and we had trouble as it was a analog line and most of our phones at the plant are digital, so we couldn't just plug a digital phone into an analog RJ11 jack. The VPN isn't connected to this cabinet, so in the end we went to the bix block and robbed a pair, but had to use DVM to see what pairs had 48v on them. It took hours compared to minutes if we had, had a **** phone, thanks.
