MG1976:sbiddle:
At the end of the day the Signet units are a waste of money and are poorly specced,
Can you please elaborate? What is a better alternative?
smac: Hehe you guys would hate me.....we built last year and put in no box at all. The builder's network sparky was about to do it, and asked how I wanted it configured. I asked him what it was and what it was for. He couldn't tell me a damned thing other than "it'll future proof you". Told him to stick it back in his van.
The only thing I could get out of him or the builder later was that it would allow me to switch any outlet in the house from being network to phone. Is there something more to it than that that I'm missing??
Now I dunno about you guys but I only have one phone, I've only ever had one phone, and I'll only ever have one phone. In fact at the moment we have VOIP, so as far as the wiring is concerned we have no phone. SO we just ran a couple lines cat cabling from the central point (walk-in pantry) to every likely outlet in the house. Same for coax. Job done.
Anything beyond that just seemed like unnecessary complication....and 18 months later I haven't changed my mind *shrug*
Time to find a new industry!
ShellNZ: The wiring has been done incorrectly?
ShellNZ: Alrighty, settled in our new home now :)
I currently have my Linksys modem/router hooked up by...
PABX master coming out of RJ45 socket, BT-RJ11 to modem/router.
The sparky didnt really know much about the Signet ST2000 box upstairs but said that the way I am hooked up now I am using the voice line? If I put a modem/router by the ST2000 and hooked it up I should get faster speeds???
Time to find a new industry!
ShellNZ: Honestly? no I dont think sparkie does.
Who would I contact if I wanted to set it up properly? or how would I go about doing it myself?
