Hello Peter, Sorry for the late reply, but when a good security firm fits an alarm system to your house, they enter the roof space, find the Telstra line, and connect the security system to it up in the roof space, so that security has first priority on the phone line. Say you have one security system covering the house and the shed, and you have the shed armed, and the house disarmed, and you are talking on the phone in the house, and someone breaks into the shed and sets off the alarm, the security connection will automatically cut off your phone call and send the alarm signal back to the security firm. This is good from a security point of view, but as the security connection is before your filter, it plays havoc with your ADSL.
The incoming Telstra line must go to the Filter first, then from the filter direct to the ADSL, and the other outlet from the Filter to all other devices, such as Security, Alarms, phones, faxes etc. This also good, as if you have ADSL problems you can dis-connect the incoming Telstra line and the ADSL line, both at the filter, and join them together with a female/female RJ11 (orRJ45) connector. (from Dick Smith) Thus you now have Telstra direct to the ADSL, and if the problem disappears you know the fault is somewhere in your house setup. Hope this helps, regards, Ted -----Original Message----- From: Peter Sealy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 15 November 2004 1:43 PM To: Ted Burbidge Cc: WAMUG Mailing List Subject: Re: ADSL Interference On 15/11/2004, at 1:17 PM, Ted Burbidge wrote: > The bigest problem I have found is Security Systems which generally are > wired in upstream of the filters and cause interference in the line, > causing > the ADSL to malfunction.
