1139689	2010-09-27 10:11:00	Hey there Paul my apologies in the delay, thought today I could work on the wiring a bit more depth, turned out to be one of the busiest day ever >< I will retry the wire layout like you suggested, 1 pair to the blue input, while the output has the same layout, and with the one pair connected to pin2&3 in a RJ14 . As for the UR2/UR3 connectors, pic from TM ( . trademe . co . nz/Building-renovation/Electrical-lighting/Cabling/auction-320537593 . htm" target="_blank">www . trademe . co . nz) . Previously I had the main incoming line (so I think it is as I cannot trace it back to a phone jack but cutting so will dc all internet) has this connected to my alarm line using 1 pair, and then back again via another pair on the same cable . Home . In>11>Alarm>22>Jack#1>Jack#2 . Thinking I'll make it skip the alarm, I cannot, as if I do, Jack#1&2 just wont work >< As for the splitter, nope no splitter installed . Just a quick follow up question, for the alarm, what do you mean by the house alarm can be connected to jack in place of the 'blanking' plug? Whats a blanking plug? I was wondering, by me choosing a main jack for the Naked DSL/VOIP installation, would that affect how I wire my jacks, as can I route my main line directly to my main jack, as currently the chosen jack is extended from another jack? As well, after playing around with the cables, I found my speed test scores had decreased dramatically, even though I had re-wired everything back like before, and even made certain parts better, for example new phone jack (same wiring), single cable wiring, rather than several cables coupled/joined together to make one . I mean my speed test was scoring around 5 . 0Mbps, now its barely reaches 1 . 1Mbps, my upload speed also reduced by half . . . Im sort of regretting this whole re-wiring thing now >< . . . . I dont know if its the ISP or me, because I came almost guarantee I re-wired the lines back to exactly like before (i have photo proof!) but the speed is not proving so >< . . Btw Paul, just want to thank you again for your time and assist :) It is very much appreciated :)	CCF (6760)

If you are naked with an analog VOIP adapter the incoming line should go straight to your modem by passing your alarm and the other jacks go to the input to your adapter. If you are using the jack on the module to plug a cord into your VOIP analog adapter use blue for your analog jacks as that should appear on the "Telephone" pair (5&6)in the centre of the jack (that corresponds with (3&4) on a 6 pin plug ie standard telephone cord. Your alarm connection could be a problem, most don't play well with VOIP and you shouldn't leave it across your modem.	PaulD (232)
1139691	2010-09-28 11:36:00	Hey there Paul Much appreciated for the update just to confirm, in theory by hooking up my main incoming line to the jack, my DSL line should work . So settings on the telephone pole outside my house will not affect anything in or how I arrange my jacks or line within the house right? Other than that I need to connect my main line directly to my router's jack . Though curious about the issue with alarms and VOIP, what are the problems with alarms and VOIP? If any one else knows, feel free to comment on it ^^	CCF (6760)
1139692	2010-09-28 19:38:00	The only thing that can be done at the pole is change the pair in the drop lead or underground cable. The problems with alarms comes down to the ability of the codec in the VOIP adapter to convert the analogue data signal from the alarm. Apparently alarms are moving to ethernet connection. Your naked supplier should have some mention of this.	PaulD (232)
1139693	2010-09-29 06:46:00	Hey there Paul Good news here. Have just re-wired the phone lines like you suggested, 1 pair in and 1 pair out and as well this time I got myself a proper metal tip (not the plastic ones from the warehouse) punching tool, everything is working flawlessly ^^ I think it was mainly due to the bad connectivity that I had from the line to the NSO panel that caused the confusion ><, now all 5 jacks around the house works ^^, much appreciated Paul :D As for the house alarm and my ISP, well I think it could be partly my fault as I've never mentioned or even remembered about my monitor alarm until the technician disconnected me...mainly because my alarm started beeping due to lost of phone connection. Though now that the phone wiring is working properly I can finally give the alarm thing a go! As for the issue of reduction in speed. This was a very odd thing. Remember I mentioned about the UR2/3 connectors/couplers, how it was used between the incoming line and the alarm box. Well initially a UR3 connector was used due 3 cables were need to be hooked up before hitting the 1st jack after the alarm box. Because it was initially a UR3, when everything went haywire I rewired everything back using UR3 connectors, as this would keep consistency for testing/review purposes. But ever since I played around with the wiring my speed went from a good solid 5Mbps down to 1Mbps, and with ping speed from 75ms-100ms. But once I switched UR3 connectors to UR2 connectors (supporting only 2pins), my speed shot right back up to 5Mbps and ping from 100-59ms. However I did not switch to Ur2 connectors on my 2nd attempt, I reused and rewired same spot over 8 times using UR3 connectors, each with horrible degrading speed. I've even ran the incoming line directly into my router bypassing any phone jacks or potential resistence, however this worsened the performance, ping shot up from 70ms to 100ms, and speed started to hover around 500kbps After one last attempt, I decided to switch the UR3s to UR2, and what did you know it shot my speed right back up to where it was before I started mucking around with the wires ^^. So yeah, everything is fine now, so Paul much appreciated for your time and assist, thank you :thumbs:	CCF (6760)
