Re: ISDN Tech Assistance PLEASE Photos would be great. So at this point I'm guessing I don't need the RJ45 jack, I can use one of the existing phone jacks in the house since I won't have any analog lines. Once the install is completed I should have ISDN to all my existing previously wired RJ11 jacks?? |

RJ45 |
The other box on the right is the standard RJ11 which is unused. As you can see mine was installed inline with the RJ11. My understanding of what AT&T told me was that I'd need an RJ45 for each jack i wanted to use with the ISDN. But that may (or may not) have anything to do with my house having 50 year old wiring in it. The tech that installed my ISDN had to install a second demarc box outside.
It might be possible to run it over the existing phone jacks but that's not something I can guarantee will work. Maybe someone else can give you a clear answer on that. I just know that my ISDN only works on the one RJ45 jack. The RJ11 that it's connected to is POTS still. |

I'm not saying it can't be done, just what my experience was.
If they aren't going to charge you extra for putting the RJ45 jack, have them go ahead and put it in. Just my 2 cents. |

| I was assuming they would use the existing analog wiring since I no longer have analog service. That would provide the service to every jack in the house. Now if they put it on a different pair. Hopefully they will wire one RJ11 with no charge. If not, I'll wire the jack nearest my computer. The RJ45 is $145 for the install, rather outrageous in my opinion.
My install has been postpone till Tuesday. We'll see how it goes. |
