Fulko, Hmm, I recognize you from TPM (you are the same?)!
Yes, its me. (How many other Fulko's do you know?)
Yes, is a straight through connection.
OK, but what I see, during my tests are: The POTS line comes in as Whi/Blu (which probably would normally be Yel/Blk) and is wired to the house as Grn/Red. So by virtue of inserting two modular connectors wired according to the colors above... Then a std cable would provide the 'twist' between the two sets of colours, thereby connecting them. The 3102 would therefore be listening on Grn/Red on the POTS side, and talking on Yel/Blu on the phone side, so that std cables plugged into each port would again 'twist' the signals back to what their corresponding device? Are my assumptions correct?
My house is 20 years old so I had nothing but a little box where the external wiring was connected to the house wiring on 4 posts.What I did was go to Home depot and got a wall phone modular plate that also had 2 additional out jacks. I used this due to lack of stock of a 1 to 3 break out and I couldn't wait. I then wired the external wire into the plate housing (Green->Green, Red->Red, Black->Black & Yellow->Yellow). I then took the internal wiring of the house and wired it into a single RJ11 jack box. Then plugged my DSL modem into one jack, and a DSL inline filter (this eliminates the need for any through out your house)
No DSL in my house. The phone company wouldn't even talk to me about installing it in my neighbourhood. :-(
into the other with a regular telephone 4 conductor cable to the RJ11 jack. Now at this point everything should work like it did before you started. Test! Your regular phones in house should have dialtone. Now all you have to do is inject the 3102 in between the the RJ11 and the DSL filter. In this scenario, as you play with it it is easy to restore everything during testing! Remember, must not piss off the wife!
The 3102 says it has a relay that connects the two ports together on power failure, so I'd just have to remember to unplug the 3102 when not testing or in production use.
One side effect of using the 3102 or an old 3000 is that if you want to use CallerID, you need to make sure the box waits til the second ring before forwarding to Asterisk so it can receive the data between the 1st and 2nd ring. So everyone will start to think your a little slow at answering the phone ( or slower ) since your first ring from Asterisk will be the callers 3rd.
It seems as though CallerID between rings one and two is standard, so everybody has this problem, not just 3102 users... right?
Hope that helps!
Yes, it does. now to get an Asterisk distribution to work... somewhere...

(and I'm still trying to figure out which Asterisk (distristribution I should start with on some under-powered hardware I have available). I want to rewire the home's incomming connection for ease of insertion. ie. POP - modular connector - modular connector - internal phones where I'll insert the Sipura box between the modular connectors. But I want to wire it such that I can replace the Sipura with a standard cable when neccessary. My concern is with the pinouts, w.r.t. tip and ring signals being on the correct pins on all of the connector, and what a std cable might do about flipping pins around. Or is it all just 'straight through'? TIA Fulko
