In addition we are cutting five multi-pair cables within the tunnel and pulling them back and terminating them in Howe Hall Rm 50. Bell will then perform the required cross connects to restore the active phone lines. We will make every effort to restore all the phone lines that provide fire alarm monitoring, elevator monitoring, security monitoring, Dal Card Services etc on July 10. Assuming this is possible, the balance of the lines (mostly office lines) would be restored at some point on July 11. We have confirmed that all office or Dal Card Services lines can be forwarded to a cell phone for incoming calls. I do believe not that process works for the lines that monitor fire alarm, elevators, security etc. We will need to schedule a fire watch for both days, if everything goes well we may not need it the second day. https://status.dal.ca/service.php?Service=14 2021-07-10 07:51:52 NS Power outage due to high winds, estimated time of repair Saturday afternoon .
