Re: [Equipment] VOIP / Landline Noise Mystery
You are probably using 2 line phone cords for one or both cords connected to the phone and the phone has shorted line 2 to whatever is connected to the alternate terminals in the wall jack. Replace the phone cords with single line cords and the problem should go away. |

| Hmmm... I'll have to investigate that. The phone cords I'm using now have Blue, Yellow, Green, Red Black, & White wires all in the one cord / connector. I checked at my local Radio Shack for a "single line" / two wire cord yesterday while picking up a splitter, but they didn't have any. I'll have to check Home Depot.
So - I should be looking for packaging that explicitly states something like "single line phone cord"? Or just check the connectors and verify that it only has two wires (green / red) in it? |

SUCCESS!!!
I found an old "single line", 2-wire (r&g) phone cord and plugged the VOIP in with that into the Line 1/2 jack. No buzz/hum on line 2 now! PERFECT!!
So, now I just need to find a place that sells the single line wire - in a 20' length! 
Thanks for the tip!! Have a great 4th! |
