See those 4 screws. Well guess what, they are flat head screws. So I took a long thin knife, and put the tip in the groove of the screw, and used the length of the handle and the torque it generates will turned to undo each of the 4 screws. Wanna see what was inside?



All that stuff are the Laundry Multiplexers talked about in the cached AT&T pages. The Black wire on the bottom right is the power cable. All the cables going out the top left corner are the data lines. The multiplexer is how the reader addresses all the laundry machines. So there is 1 RS-485 line from the Network Processor (NP) that comes to the Laundry Reader on the wall. Out of the laundry reader comes several data lines that go to this multiplexer, which runs a single line data line (all the stuff in the top left) to the back of each machine

Oh course these data lines are inside nice protective metal tubing. Here is what it looks like.

This is a weird angle, but the white thing along the bottom of the screen is a washing machine. You can see The flexable metal covering which the wire is inside of attached to the back of the washing machine with a metal flange. In this picture, you can clearly see on the side of the flange, one of the 2 flat head screws that hold the metal flange together.
