[Asterisk-Users] Question on clicking

[Bob McDowell]

Assuming 'fencer' is the same thing as an 'electric fence', this is
called stray voltage.  The farmer should want to fix this for reasons
other than the phone lines.  He is probably getting excess voltage on
all sorts of things near his fence: water pipes, water tanks, his local
power, etc.

Google for 'fence stray voltage' and you'll see that the solution lies
in the proper installation of the fence.

Should the farmer be uncooperative, you might make sure the telco knows
that one of their customers is potentially damaging their equipment...

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Question on clicking

This isn't an asterisk question, more of a telco question.   Hopefully
someone on this list involved with telco can answer it.

I have a client who is using asterisk with analog phone lines.  There
is a bad clicking noise on the line.  "Click.... Click.... Click".   
We have narrowed it down to being the farmer's fencer next door. (And
by next door I mean 2 acres away).    Who's problem is this to fix?

Famers? - His fencer is causing telecommunications interfearence.
Verizons? - Their phone network doesn't seem to be properly isolated.
The Company? - The problem is at their location.

The problem happens even when I plug into Verizon's DeMark block outside
our building, which would indicate to me the issue is happening ON
Verizon's phone network.
