So here it is 4:11AM local time for me an I went out there around 11:40PM with the information that he finally gave me.
Exactly what I asked for, nothing more. That nothing part included the OTHER wiring cabinet that this wiring went into before it got to the switch. Apparently they moved the switch about 5 feet over but kept the old patch panels so the wiring goes in the old cabinet to patch panels which have cables that go out that are punched into new patch panels and then plugged into the switch.
So there's 4 or 5 possible failure points now where stuff goes from cable to wire pairs to a jack, to an rj45, to another cable, to more wire pairs, to another jack to a 3 inch patch cable to the switch.
That and about halfway into this the battery died on the tone generator or at least went so low that it stopped making noise. But not so low that it didn't occasionally cause the lights to flicker randomly on the probe. So that hour was very fun.
That and our new Australian helpdesk reps sent me on a ticket for a printer that they flagged as preventing the production line from working. That generates e-mails all over the place in the company alerting all sites that we've stopped. Now I've got people trying to get ahold of me wanting to know if our servers are down etc. When I get to the printer, the whole department was at their dinner break and the printer seemed fine. When I finally found someone they said "Oh we just turned it off and on again after we got off the phone and that fixed it"
So I asked my boss if I should have to put up with the crap and he said he was going to get me a read-only account for the switches and to let him know if I get any more trouble.
