| 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 | I am having problems downloading it but seems it is to telco that gets disconnected. |

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

Guessing that:
1. You only have one phone line from the phone company
2. You want to now feed all phones with just your voip
3. All of the connections are yours and don't feed another apartment.
Then you would disconnect all of the pairs from the cable on the left.
Then connect the voip line in parallel to each of those connectors. A pair of jumper wire running through the left hand connectors will work if you plan to just plug a telephone cord from your ATA to one of your telephone jacks. |

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. |

OK. On the left hand side, the interface allows for up to six separate phone lines from the phone company labeled Pair-1 (PR-1) through Pair-6. The first four pairs are connected.
If you look at the connections on the right, you'll see that each room has access to the 6 pairs from the telephone company also. In your apartment, they have connected pair-1 (blue/white) and pair-2 (orange/white) to each of your jacks.
Simple solution is to remove the blue/white Pair-1 one on the left of the interface and insure that all your jacks in the apartment are now dead. Then plug your terminal adapter into any of the 4 jacks in your apartment to light them all up or run a jumper from the terminal adapter to the spot on the interface where you pulled off the blue/white pair on the left. Either way, you should then have your VOIP line feeding all the jacks in the apartment. |

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. |

1 edit | Try plugging the RJ11 phone cord into P1. If it will hold in place you are in luck. If not you may want to get a phone jack and some spare wire, then run a green and red wire from the jacks terminals to where you disconnected the Blue/White pair. |

Dallas, TX | 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. |

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

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?
Since this is an appartment building, I would double check you are at the correct NID as you may be looking at the incorrect one.Is this NID outside?
make sure to reconnect those you have disconnected.
Typically, on single line phones, pair one (white/Blue) would be the pair that is used.

| 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? |
