Ethernet points lit from SER2, which we were already feeding<br>
(this is also where we start the MECCafe / MECC@table rooms from,<br>
with the small inline switch we discussed 2 weeks ago).<br>
<br>
Ethernet drops in steel bars which are attached to the ceiling,<br>
see <a href="http://psg.com/~geertj/ietf78/pics/expohal" target="_blank">http://psg.com/~geertj/ietf78/pics/expohal</a>.<br>
The "spant" mentioned in the outlets list MECC_UTP_EXPO_FOYER.pdf<br>
is actually the number of the metal bar.<br>
<br>
(I realise we want the AP's low, on the floor, and that's<br>
do-able BUT it means cables coming down from the ceiling<br>
so we'll need to be careful about location to avoid<br>
cabling issues; from a cabling point of view, I'd<br>
recommend AP's high up, attached to the steel bars)<br>
<br>
Only catch may be electricity, but that's not ours:<br>
there is special power outlets in the same steel bars,<br>
with cables coming down, which the MECC has.<br>
Personally, I'd aim towards restricting power outlets<br>
on the floor there, less chance for someone to trip<br>
over cables and pour his lunch over some else's laptoy.<br>
Secondly, providing power there is (currently) not in the<br>
contract of the electrician providing laptop power to the<br>
breakout rooms. Again, my recommendation is that we<br>
either sparingly, or preferrably don't, provide laptop power<br>
in the Explo Foyer at all.<br>
<br>
We'll need a lift to install AP's and, eventuallu power outlets,<br>
which we'll already need for the MECCafe / MECC@table connection.<br>
Plus, you'll need tie raps to attach the AP's to the steel bars.<br>
<br>
Note that MECCafe / MECC@table (used as the terminal room / IESG breakfast)<br>
is adjecent so we're already partially lighting up the place.<br>
<br>

where the IETF rooms are all in the blue congress centre,<br>
MECCCafe / MECC@table is red, and the expo foyer is the yellow<br>
bit in the middle.<br>
