Re: connect vonage to phone jacks
Guys I just remembered something a few weeks back I was setting up my home office and thus had to connect all my network gear and reconnect my callvantage. I decided to see if I could get callvantage to work by connecting my telephone adapter to a regular phone jack. Well callvantage came while being connected to a regualr phone jack. After that I walked around the house checking each jack to see if I could get a dial tone I was able to get a tone only ion a few jacks but not all. Also there was a lot of noise on the lines |

| It sounds like you connected your adapter to the phone wiring while it was still connected to the telco. Good to hear you didn't fry the adapter, that would likely happen if you got an incoming telco call while the ATA was hooked up.
BTW, I realized that it's possible that more than two cables could be connected to a given jack and still have daisy-chain wiring. At the first jack you could have one wire going to the NID and multiple others going to other jacks. You could also have multiple connections to the NID, breaking your house's phone wiring into different segments where the only connecting point is at the NID. There are a LOT of possibilities. |
