| [Internet] Need help wiring from demarc for dry loop ADSL I have a new ADSL service being activate this Thursday (January 18,2013) using dry loop.
Problem is, my place hasn't been wired for phone service. I live in the lower part of a duplex, and there is a Bell phone box outside on the wall, and the underground wiring is connected, but there are no wires coming into the house, and no distribution box/device.
The attached image is all there is.
I have the wiring and jack to install, but I need to know which wires to connect where at the demarc point. The wiring I have is two pair (red, green, yellow, black).
Can someone let me know which of the four wires to connect to the Bell box and where to connect them to use dry loop?
Thanks in advance.

kudos:2 | You have to plug your red and green terminals of the same color in the right part of the limp, remove the old black wire.
Do not forget to plug the small connector RJ11 (small flat gray wire) into the white jack. |

When the technician comes to do the install for the dry loop he will wire up the demarc for you. |

JCohen, what does the tech need to install for the dry loop? |
|
| reply to Shipwreck
Same wire (cable pair)that now is in place.Only reason its called a dry loop is because there is no voltage.......hence the term dry. |
|
| Hey Tiger. Are you answering my question to JCohen? If so, why would a tech need to install anything if it's already there? |

Yes, he was answering my question. The technician will be making all the connections to and from your demarc. |

| OK, but as I said, there is no wiring coming into the house at all. The black wires you see connected in the photo run to the outside of the box and are cut and hang about 2 feet outside the box. So I'll need to do the inside wiring myself so I don;t have to pay for it.
Is the box not already set up for dryloop? |

If you're signing up for Bell internet, then a tech will run a new line inside from the demarc for the standard jack installation fee.
If you're getting a non-Bell service, then the dry loop will be left in the demarc, and there is no option to pay to have a new line run. You're on your own.
Run a new line from the red/green screws on the right into the house if you're doing it on your own.
And dry loops have voltage and dialtone on them. You just can't make outgoing calls on it. It won't let you. |

| Thanks Anonymuss. I went with non bell service.
So just run the lines from the inside jack to the outside box, connect the red and green lines, plug in the RJ11 and I'm all set? |

Their is dial tone and voltage on a dryloop line, their is also a phone # associated with the dryloop line. |

Anonymuss@rogers.com your wrong, if the op is a bell customer he will not be charged for any inside wiring, the wiring is part of the order no charge for running inside wire, now if he gets a 3rd party isp the bell tech will just test it at the NID and have a nice day. |

i beleive its referred to as a circuit number and it is quite different from an actual phone number. no actual phone number is associated with a dry loop setup you use a circuit number |

Before you do any wiring, I would wait for the DSL to be activated, as the primary pair coming from the buried line in the NID may be for other tenant in the duplex. The 2nd or 3rd pair in that buried drop may be used for you.
Better yet if your going to be doing the wiring, I would just run the riser from your part of the house to the NID and leave a note for the tech attached to it saying "riser for 3rd party DSL activation..." |

Desktop MOP
Bell Internet - Full Desktop Installation (aka HS orders)
Step 6
Install inside Wire and Jacks if requested/required by customer.
Quote SLIW charges to customer.
If the technician does not have an associated “IN” Ticket in FWFM, contact ASK SLIW to provide customer billing information.
Now why does it state to quote charges to the customer if there is no charge? Seems a bit odd.......
The demarc jack is in the NID. Anything else is ISW. |

Well, yesterday I removed the cut length of black wiring (shown connected in the box), wired up my red and greens and ran the wiring to the house. Didn't install a jack, just wired straight to a male connector.
Modem was received today and service activated today. Connected the modem and we're up and running gang busters!!!
Thanks a million all!!! |
