Gentlepeople,
	Just a bit more of a brain dump, this time on the cable plant at the Caribe:

General:
	All their fiber is old 62.5u ST terminated Multimode
	Copper is generally Cat5E (with a smattering of Cat6)

MPOE & Reception Building:
	Everything starts in what they term the demarc. That's where we expect the brighthouse circuits to come in, where the fiber to all the towers, to the telephone room and to A0 (see below) in the convention center terminates. It's physically in the reception building and sits nearly directly under where the telephone room and the IT office are located.

	The telephone room houses a huge old PBX switch and has MM running down to the demarc. It shares a wall with the IT office and has a very easy passthrough for cabling. We're considering putting the routers and some core gear here.

	The IT office is where all the existing routers & distribution switch are. It's also where the guestroom gateway box lives. We'll need to have a switch here(or in the telephone room) to take the handoff for the guestrooms/public network. Access to this room is much more restrictive than most areas. 


Guestroom Cabling and VLANS:

	There's a set of detached guestrooms referred to as Villas. We only have one (I think it's for Russ). All of the villas connect to the net via DSL back to A0. 

	As a page on the attached spreadsheet, there's a listing of every vlan in use on the guestroom/public system and where it goes.

Convention Center:

	Let me start with some bad ASCII art:

       B1    D1     A2
          \ /      /
demarc --- A0 --- A1 
          /  \     \
         C1  C2     A3
	
	The Fiber from the demarc comes over into A0, which is basically the MDF for the Convention Center. From there, there's fiber out to A1, B1 and D1 (which is only their APs, so we almost definitely won't need it). There's also copper to C1 and C2. In A1, it then has fiber running to A2 and A3.
	
	On another page on the spreadsheet is a mapping of what jacks go back to which IDF. Note that the number of jacks leaves a lot to be desired ... a number of rooms have just one. We may need a decent number of switches. 

	This is what we've requested from Keith:

> Just to verify the following list is your requirements from the MIS department.
>  
> 1.            2 pairs of fiber from the D-Mark to A0
> 2.            1 pair of fiber from A0 to A1
> 3.            1 pair of fiber from A0 to A2
> 4.            1 pair of fiber from A0 to A3
> 5.            1 pair of fiber from A0 to B1
> 6.            1 Cat5 cable from A0 to C1
> 7.            1 Cat5 cable from A0 to C2
> 8.            4 pair of fiber from D-Mark to Telephone room (This is the ideal plan) or
> 9.            Run a Cat5 and a Cat6 cable from our office to D-Mark
