Phone wiring
thumor wrote:
Recently bought house. Phone jacks in almost every room.
Ordered new connection from Verizon. Works only in one room.
They say previous owners had atleast 3 lines. They had it wired that
way.
Asking for 95 for first line, and about 50 for each additional line to
rewire!!!!
Anybody else encountered this before?
Any solution / work around except wiring myself from inside using one-
to-many jacks
available in stores?
All the interior phone lines terminate in the DMARC - the box on the back of
the house that the telephone company's wires enter. Your existing wiring
terminates in three places (for the three lines) but only one of those
terminal-pairs has telephone company wires attached.
Simply remove the wires from the connectors that have no TELCO wires
attached and move the wires to the live connectors.
Now:
--A = Telco
--a = Telco
--B =
--b =
--C =
--c =
New
--ABC = Telco
--abc = Telco
Where caps (ABC) represent red wires and lower-case (abc) represent green
wires.
