Electrical code question about locking a service disconnect on?
438239
Industrial aka commercial?  The lock is designed to "lock out" service in the event of machine failure or maintenance. It is not designed to lock "on" and in such case may propose a safety issue. NEC covers the location and construction of the electric service, not the use.  You need to contact OSHA for this. If it were possible for someone to get SHOCKED OR CAUGHT IN THE MECHANISM OR OTHERWISE A SITUATION COULD HAPPEN THAT SHUTTING DOWN THE MACHINE WOULD SAVE LIFE OR LIMB OR OTHER HEALTH FACTOR, REMOVE THE LOCK BEFORE OSHA SEES IT.

Feign a power cut. Switch the breaker, come on you know you want to

RESET THE MODEM TO FACTORY DEFAULTS... in the back of the router there is a small place where you can stick a pen, push the pen into the button and hold it there for 30 seconds, do that when it's unplugged

unplug your modem and wait for 10 secs turn it back on

There is a short circuit somewhere in your house...most likely a large appliance.  DO NOT FORCE THE BREAKER CLOSED!!!  You could start an electrical fire which could destroy your house!  Call a trained, certified electrician to locate the short circuit...this is best left to professionals.

I'm in Oklahoma, too, so I feel your pain!  Always unplug your computer system from the wall during storms, do NOT rely on a surge protector.  Also, unplug the phone line from your DSL modem.  Electricity can flow through the phone lines and kill your modem, lost mine a month ago because I forgot to unplug it.  Be sure to remove the DSL line from the back of your computer as well.  Better safe than sorry, and better paranoid than regretful!

have you called their support number (1-877-722-3755)? for intermittent connection --- there might be some problem with the line. have you asked them to have a line check? there are some process or troubleshooting they could give you to have it fixed... and it should be the line dept. who needs to check it for you. its not only on SBC server but also they need to check on your area, where there might be some circuit problem.

That depends on how honest you are. There is a good chance that someone else is being charged for your bill, there are often times screw ups in the wiring and he electrical setup, so if you are an honest person, you should call and find out for sure what is going on.

Try this. I found it on line and it might help solve the problem. http://www.tselectronic.com/gc/video/surge_block.html?tse_Session=a1810461ed6dc5852c42a495bed5dfd8\nI don't think dharden1205 has any idea what he's talking about. there could be a carrier voltage to help with signal transmission, but it should be low enough as not to harm your modem. If you've got it running off a power supply (UPS), then it's already isolated from the direct supply in your home. This shouldn't be happening. Call back your provider and insist they come out and test your cable for transient voltage. You have options to cancel your service and go elsewhere right???

If you use one GFI breaker (a leakage circuit breaker as you call it)as the main electrical disconnect in your flat and you have a fault condition (leakage) anywhere in your flat, it will cut off all power in your place.\n\n   It is better to use seperate GFI's on each circuit in your flat. This will prevent just one problem in any of your electrical circuits from cutting off all of your electricity. It will just cut power to the one circuit that has the problem. It will work much better this way.

Is there another device using telephone line for external communication(like a home security system).If so disconnect it and check if that is causing the problem.

Usually that means that there is something up with the cable modem.\n\nThe first thing is to make sure you cycle the power on the modem every time you switch (between being connected directly to the router, computer 1 or 2). Every time the MAC address changes (for example if you change it from Cable Modem to Router TO Cable Modem to Computer 1) then you need to cycle the power. If you are just unplugging devices behind the router this usually isn't necessary.\n\nNow, any time you reboot the modem wait a minute and reboot the router.\n\nOtherwise, check the lights:\nPower: Should be steady. Blinking usually indicates a hardware failure or that standby is on.\nSend and/or Recieve Light(s): Should be blinking rapidly when plugged in to a device. Slowly or solidly can indicate a problem with your network cable or modem.\nCable: Should be solid. Blinking slowly or off indicates a problem with your cable connection (usually physically) or modem.\nPC/Activity: Should be blinking fast or solid. Blinking slowly or off indicates a problem with the modem, the cable between the two or the device plugged in.\nStandby (if applicable): Should be off. On or blinking indicates that it is in standby mode. Some modems remember this even when power is cycled.\n\nIf all the lights blink in sequence, stay on or stay off the modem is usually shot.\n\nHope this helps!\n\nEDIT: From the manual:\n\n"Light -Turns Off During Startup- If Turns Off During Normal Operation If\nReceive- The receive channel cannot be acquired - The receive channel is lost\nSend - The send channel cannot be acquired - The send channel is lost\nOnline - IP registration is unsuccessful  - The IP registration is lost\nPower - The cable modem is not properly plugged into\nthe power outlet\n -The cable modem is unplugged or is in standby\nmode. Press the Standby button"\n\nAlso:\n"f the solutions listed here do not solve your problem, contact your cable service provider. Before calling your service provider, try one of:\n• Unplugging and plugging in the cable modem power cord to restart the cable modem\n• Pressing the reset button on the rear panel\nRestarting or resetting the cable modem may take 5 to 30 minutes. Your service provider may ask for the status of the front-panel lights as\ndescribed in “Front-Panel Lights and Error Conditions” on page 44.\n\nProblem Possible Solutions\nGreen POWER light is off - Check that the power cord is properly plugged into the electrical outlet and the cable modem.\nCheck that the electrical outlet is working.\n-If the Standby light is on, the Internet connection is off. Press the Standby button to reconnect to the Internet."

Try the default codes, usually 0000 or 1234\nIf they don't work, you need to call the Dish Company and they can do it for you.\nHowever, if your parents placed that lock to keep you from changing it, then disregard everything I just said.  Ok, sport?

You cant just get the code or else there would be a lot of burglars getting the code easily. You have to call a person who installs those garage openers and ask them to reset it or install a new one for you.\n\nOr ask the person who lived there before you about the code.

I recommend leaving it on, provided--\n- If you are connected to the internet full time, you  have good up-to-date security software (firewall (software and on router), anitvirus, and spyware.  As added security, when not running scheduled updates over internet, many modems have an off switch; turn it off when not actively using the internet.\n- If you have an UPS.  While lightening over lines connected to the computer can destroy parts of it, a good surge protector works wonders--most of the time.  The UPS also answers the problem of low voltage spikes.  When the voltage drops and comes back up, without a UPS, your computer starts to turn off.  When the voltage kicks back in, the drive restarts after slowing which is hard on the drive.

Call up your telephone supplier and they will be able to stop it.\n\nHope this Helps!
