pots no ringing in UK

2000-09-18 Thread Ajaz Nawaz

I have an 803 router. Routes to ISP no problem.

The problem is my telephone does not ring when someone calls me.

CCO explain I need a US-TO-UK RJ11 master connector ( type 413A)

Does anyone know a way around. Or can someone tell me where I can buy
this connector from in the UK

Many thanks

If you fancy wiring your own I *think* a 513A is a standard BT style
master socket.  Wire it with a four wire cable middle two to outer two
and outer two to inner two, like XX :)

That said I thought the UK and US used different line voltages.  Make
sure the phone you use is BABT approved - that way you know it wont
matter if the line polarity gets reversed when you wire your socket.

Like I said that should work, but I havent tried it and Im not a
telecomms expert - these are just bits I worked out from a reading of
the uk.telecom faq a while ago when I was trying to connect US modems to
the UK network.  It works that way around, so it should work the other
way, but its a fingers crossed job Im afraid.

The other option is buy a US phone, since IIRC the 803 is ISDN, so it
should convert whatever pots to ISDN anyway (hey maybe thats an excuse
to get that dancing elvis phone I saw on ebay US  :)

(Slightly OT but if anyone knows where I can get a robotic meowing kitty
phone I would be forever greatful :)
