Nice tip, though I won't be buying one for each of my 26 spans. :-)
To the OP: if you're willing to open the box, there is usually a DB-9s
on the front of the smartjack you can plug your laptop into... it's
not actually "your" interface, but it will give you the numbers.
You also run the risk of screwing up the span, which I do not assume
hereby. :-)

Around here, the telco locks that cabinet and there is a user
id/password required to use that craft interface. (I have a key, but
then I worked for the telco for 23 years and have a few insider tools
laying around)<br>
