    Merlin REN

    Can anyone tell me what the REN requirements are for a Merlin (any of them) might be? Is it fair to assume that regardless of what the CO line is capable of, the phones connected to the KSU itself determine how many can be connected before the REN is exceeded (assuming an infinite number of...

    Is anyone else out there either lab or field testing the PSAX-4500 PacketStar as a GR-303 voice gateway, and if so, what have the results been to date?

    dsl modem keeps breaking

    Matt may be on the right track here...I too would agree that this is lees likely a modem issue and more of a cable/connectivity issue. Typically if a circuit continues to degrade as yours seems to be, then sealing current can be applied to 'clean and dry' the line. If you're running ADSL with...

    DSL connectivity keeps dropping

    While it won't "short" anything, I have seen in the past where a bad NIC will cause a flood of packets that will cause the circuit to reset itself in order to clear buffers. Another possibility is a virus in the second PC. Other possibles include bad patch cables (poor...

    Configuring a Copper Mountain DSLAM without wasting IPs?

    The big questions are; 1. What WAN card do you have installed? 2. What SCM/BCM combination are you running? 3. What net model are you using and for what cpe? We have set up several types of CPE using HDIA and CopperVPN netmods using grey IPs and allowing the upstream router to NAT it all...

    Voice Over Solutions

    Does anyone else think that there needs to be a new forum just for 'voice over' solutions? I think there are enough of us here that deal with VoDSL/ATM/IP that would warrant a new forum. Thoughts?

    What is the best modem for Alcatel dslam?

    Netopia has released a new ADSL modem/router that they have been selling pretty darn cheap to some large ILECs. You may want to contact them as their routers are actually cheaper than most modems. If you need some contact info, feel free to send me an email.

    WILL CHANGING TO SHIELDED DSL CABLE

    Using shielded twisted pair (STP) cable will allow you to filter a good portion of the noise (don't forget to connect the drain wire) inside, but won't do too much for you from the NID out to the CO. If your copper comes in underground then that should help greatly. If your feed is aerial...

    Can you use a switch instead of a router?

    You should be able to connect an inexpensive router behind the switch and achieve the results you are looking for. Linksys makes a pretty decent (and cheap) four port router that will allow you to emulate a MAC address in order to receive a DHCP receive, or use NAT for a static IP. They make...
