Third's Life

Scripps Ranch DSL line

Yesterday, I hooked up the equipment for Scripps Ranch’s DSL line. Chris from COVAD terminated the DSL link on the MPOE and setup the DSL bridge modem. At 6pm, I worked with Chris from FNIS in Florida who gave me instructions on how to connect the Cisco DSL router. We conferenced in with Sprint. For a while they were not able to get the connections working because the DSL connection keeps dropping. I had to power cycle the DSL modem a couple of times before they decided that everything was working right.

However, today Chris from FNIS called me that the DSL line was down again. I called COVAD. The first tech told me to factory default the DSL bridge modem and make the Cisco router do the authentication. I talked to Chris about it and he said he did not want any authentication. I called COVAD again and they said all their lines need authentication. I told Chris about it and suggested he talk to COVAD. I emailed him the necessary info. 

Pres. Idos released

Pres. Idos was released as President of the Sweetwater 2nd branch last April 9. Bro. Jun Alcantara was called as the new President. I was called as the 1st counselor and Elmer Manarang accepted the call as 2nd counselor on April 30.

Aaron’s blessing

I gave Aaron a blessing last Sunday. I invited. Pres. Alcantara, Bro. Carpio, Bro. Vic Magapan, and Bro. Jun Resolme to join me in the circle. Aaron was quiet throught the blessing.

Because it was a special occasion, for break-the-fast, we brought two pans of food which we ordered a week ago and picked up Saturday night to avoid breaking the Sabbath.
