dsl signal only present when phone is live |
|
|
I have a Teledat 301 modem connected to a network card. The modem is
connected to a splitter. I can only get a DSL signal if I press the
dial button on my phone. As soon as I dissconnect the phone, I lose my
DSL signal. Unplugging the phone from the splitter does not seem to
make a difference. If I unplug the phone, I still have a DSL signal,
but as soon as I press the dial button on the phone to cut off the dial
signal, the DSL connection is lost.Can anyone help? I am using XP. Many
thanks. |

This is a problem known as "high open". It is caused by a wiring
problem. The problem is usually in the house wiring, but it could
be in the telco lines. |

You do know that there's a device that has to be connected between the
phone line and the phone, right?

DS, I assume you mean the splitter. Sorry, I'm a bit new at all this.
What I have is a splitter that connects to the phone socket. From the
splitter, I have a cable that connects to the phone and another cable
that connects to the modem.
All this is wired correctly.
My problem is that the modem is not obtaining a secure DSL connection.
(The DSL light flashes continually). The only way to obtain a stable
DSL connection is by picking up the phone and pressing the dial/connect
button. I then hear a dial tone from the handset. The DSL light then
stops flickering and stays on. Hey presto, I have my DSL connection and
can log on.
Unfortunately the phone is now unable to take any calls while I am
logged on and is instead draining its batter charge.
Any help on this would be appreciated. Many thanks. |

No, he means the filter, a little dongle with a phone plug on one end
and a phone jack on the other that keeps your telephone from
interfering with your DSL.
You should have gotten a few of them with the DSL modem, or you can
pick them up at any computer or electronics store. |

No, not a device that allows you to connect two devices to the same
line, a device that allows you to connect a *telephone* to a *DSL* line. It
is a specific device for that purpose, and it is required to prevent the
telephone from interfering with the DSL signal.

Call the number where you ordered DSL. You should have gotten several when you |
got the dsl modem. |

Sal,
You need a DSL filter - not a conventional phone splitter... I thin
you will find - after you remove ALL your phones in the house - the ds
modem sync (light) will lock onto the isp network. This "test
demonstrates that if/when you do NOT use a dsl filter, you effectivel
remove the source of the dsl "noise" by removing the phones.
If you "have to press the dial button" to get a dsl signal, you likel
have other issues... call your dsl/isp for specifics...
P2E
