How to Prepare for Your MDF Jumpering Service
Getting ready for your MDF Jumpering service doesn’t have to be complicated. With a little preparation, you can ensure a smooth, hassle-free installation that gets your NBN up and running in no time. At Secure A Com, we aim to make your experience as easy as possible, and we’ve put together this guide to help you get everything sorted before your technician arrives.
What is MDF Jumpering and Why Do You Need It?
MDF Jumpering is the process of connecting your building’s internal cabling to the NBN network via the Main Distribution Frame (MDF). This service is essential for new homes, offices, or any commercial spaces that require a reliable internet connection. If your NBN connection isn’t working even though your provider says your line is ‘ready,’ MDF Jumpering is likely the missing link.
Steps to Prepare for Your MDF Jumpering Service
Before our technician arrives, a few preparatory steps can help avoid any delays or extra charges. Here’s what you need to do:
1. Obtain Your NBN Cable Details
The first and most crucial step is to get your NBN cable details from your internet service provider (ISP). This information allows our technician to connect your service accurately and efficiently. Without it, we can’t proceed with the setup, so make sure you have these details ready.
2. Secure Access to the MDF Room
In most buildings, the MDF room is secured with locks that require specific keys. Secure A Com technicians carry master keys for 97% of Australia’s MDFs, but if your building has extra tight security, it’s a good idea to arrange for access beforehand. Speak to your building manager or security team to ensure the MDF room is unlocked or that access is granted when we arrive.
3. Know Your MDF Location
Knowing where your MDF is located can save time on the day of your service. In larger buildings, the MDF can be tucked away in a basement or a locked room, so it’s best to check with your building manager ahead of time. Being aware of its location ensures that our technician can get straight to work without any unnecessary delays.
4. Arrange Parking for the Technician
If your building is in a busy area like Sydney’s CBD, parking can be a challenge. If there’s on-site parking available, please arrange a spot for our technician. This simple step can help avoid extra costs and make the entire service run more smoothly.
5. Check for Any Special Security Protocols
For high-rise buildings and some commercial spaces, extra security protocols may apply. This can include safety inductions, signing in with security, or submitting work method statements (SWMS). It’s best to check these requirements with your building’s management ahead of time to ensure our technicians can access your building without delays.
6. Make Sure All Relevant Information is Accessible
Having easy access to all relevant information about your cabling setup, including any previous reports or known issues, can greatly assist our technician. If there have been past faults or ongoing issues, be sure to have that information ready. This preparation can help our technician quickly identify and resolve any problems.
