| Which wires do I disconnect in pic? To wire our apartment's phone lines for VOIP, I am trying to isolate the system from the phone company lines as per the Vonage help pages. Here is a pic of our interior box:
»images.mirrosoft.net/phonebox.JPG
Do I pull the "KIT", "LIV", "BR1", "BR2" lines out? Will this completely isolate our phone jacks from the outside?
One last question. The VOIP kit (Broadvoice) includes a standard phone wire with jacks. Do I pull the jack off of one end and thread them into the "KIT" (where the signal needs to go) connectors in this box? | |

@QWEST.NET | Edit: If you have dry dsl over telco then there would be a difference. | |

| I doubt you need any jumper wires. Unless there is a jack that was only used for a second line etc. no jumpers should be needed. Just disconnecting the telco should work. Unless you have dry dsl thru telco.
If all are single jacks then probably just disconnecting the blue telco should work. | |

Disconnect the Blue/white pare on the left. | |

| Re: Which wires do I disconnect in pic? Thanks for this info!
Last question. How can I connect the phone adapter directly to this box? This is required since the cable modem is also in this remote closet.
I cannot run the phone adapter from the closet to jacks in any of the other rooms. It is not possible. The VOIP line has to be connected to this box. | |

Dallas, TX | Re: Which wires do I disconnect in pic? Well I disconnected white/blue on the left group below "INPUT FROM TELCO." This did not stop line service. I connected the phone to the kitchen jack and got a dial tone. | |

clubs: | Disconnect the white/Orange pair on the left side of the panel and check if you have dial tone.

2 edits | Someone correct me if I am wrong but couldn't he just take a phone with a rj11 connector and connect it to the Network interface test plugs. This should isolate the lines in the apartment without have to remove wires.
Example if he plugs the phone pr1 the lines should drop on everything connected to the PR1 section.
This would tell us what pair he needs to remove. | |

| Re: Which wires do I disconnect in pic? PR3 to PR6 on the right have nothing connected to them.
You have removed the PR1 (blue pair) and PR2 (orange pair) on the telco side and still have dialtone.
This might not be the right NID for you apartment.
You don't currently have you broadvoice device hooked up to any of the jacks do you? | |

@QWEST.NET | Are any of the cables marked feed? Wonder if someone hooked up the wires wrong. For this type of thing a toner comes in handy.  | |

Dallas, TX | Re: Which wires do I disconnect in pic? No cables marked feed. Should I just disconnect all 4 pairs on the right? I can't see how this could be the box for another apartment. | |

Dallas, TX | Re: Which wires do I disconnect in pic? The test jack and none of the other jacks produced a dial tone when I connected the phone. Just a quite hiss.
Could this box be for alarm service only? We don't subscribe to that.

1 edit | Re: Which wires do I disconnect in pic? I was wrong again. That test jack is special. When you plug a phone into the test jack, it disconnects the house phones from the line and only allows the incoming telco line from the phone company to feed the test phone.
You will need to connect the ata to the house phone side in order to get it to work. | |
