Re: Apartment Install 
Next up came placing the DSL jack. I used a external jack with a 3M double-sided mastic for attaching to the wall. There should be something like this at any electronics store. I took the pair with DSl and attached it to the green/red posts on the jack. I checked for dial-tone before I coiled up the wire and put the cover on.
All that was left to do was put the cord from the modem into the new jack and turn on the modem. As you can see it's a Westell 516 and it immediately synced up. I double-checked the computer connection (the customer already had a NIC card for his laptop) and made sure the software had been loaded correctly. It took a couple of minutes to register and the customer was surfing on his new DSL line.
This was a pretty easy install as far as this goes. I've had some that were major cluster!#@!@. Word of warning, if you have multiple IWs and are having trouble telling which one is which, consider running a new dedicated IW. This will end up saving you a lot of headache later.
I'd like to say thanks to Mr. John D. for letting me take these pictures and post them here. I'll try to get a house install done soon. |
