| 37141 | 2002-02-26 05:23:00 | How far away can the ADSL Router go (looking at M1122 or Ni500). Is it possible to have it set up where I can just plug the computer (via a NIC) into the existing phone lines in the house, so as to be able to get DSL access from any of the phone sockets in the house. My stepdad doesn't really like the idea of running cables all through the house. So kind of like the idea of being able to sit it in the attic near where the PABX is. What benefits does the M1122 have over the Ni500, other than price and the 4 port hub? Thanks alot peoples, I've nearly got my stepdad into the whole JetStart idea after Zfree announcing that they are stopping their service. JM |

The low frequencu=y output goes to an outside line of the PABX; the high frequency output goes to the ADSL unit. The 10BaseT outputs of the Router go to the computers. If you have a patch panel (or some other connection) so you can take over existing (CAT 5) cables to phone sockets, you can use them to connect computers. But I don't think that you can hope to squirt 10BaseT Ethernet signals through the PABX. If you can't remove the cables from the PABX, you will have to string more wires. Either CAT5 from the Router location to each computer, or have the ADSL unit near the computer(s) and run good quality phone cable up to the exchange line and back to the PABX input from the filter. |

As a side issue, looking at my Ni500 manual I see that it supposedly doesn't need a filter so in theory it can be plugged into any outlet but to share you are still going to have to do some cabling or set up a wireless network.

| 37144 | 2002-02-26 06:40:00 | The phone sockets which will be used for the internet are going to be separated off before the PABX. I would prefer to not have to run cables from my room (upstairs) to my stepdad's office (downstairs). So I was thinking that if the ADSL router does not need to be close to a computer, and just needs a phone line going in to it, and a line to the NIC out the otherside. Is it possible to rig it up so that the computers NIC is linked to the router upstairs through the phone lines, and still be able to use the telephone on the jack points that will need the internet access. I have no experience with setting up a DSL connection, so I don't really know if it is possible or not. Does the voice still go through the router. My stepdad probably won't opt for DSL if cables would have to be run through out the house when I've got a computer in my room as well. JM |
