| 1206880 | 2011-06-04 03:52:00 | I have a question As far as I'm aware if you have 5 or more active jackpoints in the house a splitter is required to have broadband but what if If you have 4 jackpoints + 1 dedicated jackpoint for broadband. Is a splitter still required? A monitored alarm requires a splitter but if a alarmed that transmits signal to your mobile is that considered monitored because I'm a bit confused. My friend has naked DSL and her burglar alarm calls her mobile after the alarm goes of and she was not required to fit any splitter. Does anyone have some knowledge into this? Ty |

All depends whether the alarm makes a wireless call to the cellphone, or if the outgoing alarm call goes out on the households copper wired phone line. Different alams may have differing technology in this respect, with older generation alarms almost certainly going to be using the copper. The newer and more expensive kit may justify a wireless (cellphone built into the alarm) alerting system as an improved security measure, as it's simple for intruders to bust the phone line and to isolate sirens before making their breakin. Can't give you any advise re splitters. |

| 1206882 | 2011-06-04 04:53:00 | Your friend's alarm is most probably using what is called 'direct dialing' aka 'domestic dialing'. When there is an alarm, the alarm would dial out on a programmed number (in this case her cellphone) and when she picks up it would either play a voice message or play a siren sound. There should be no problem with having broadband on that number. Problems occur when sending data to a monitoring company. The noise created on the line when your provider enables ADSL 'scrambles' the signal and the monitoring company either gets nothing at all, or a bunch of rubbish which they can't interpret. |

| 1206884 | 2011-06-04 06:49:00 | A proper splitter is a bandpass device that effectively divides the line into low and high pass-band signals to provide a dedicated multi-output low-band feed for your phone and fax system, and a dedicated high frequency feed to your DSL output jack(s). This sytem keeps the HF off your phone line, a function previously carried out by filters at each phone outlet. A splitter is much more effective then individual filters on each phone outlet. My phone line goes direct to a distribution box on my office wall, where it is split into phone and adsl lines. We have about 10 phone outlets in the house, office and garage, all fed from this box, then I have a single line to my adsl modem which in turn feeds a network switch which supplies broadband to my office downstairs, my wife's office upstairs, and my kidss bedrooms, plus a few exrtra outlets in places where I thought they might be needed someday. We could not do that much distribution or have that many phones with filters. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
