Hi all,

Here is a little problem that i would like some help with. Bearing in mind that i have some technical experience but not much :)

Basically i want to have my ADSL line patched upto one of the wall mounted network sockets in my office. The ADSL line is currently terminated at the BT distribution panel in the basement of my office building in the comms room. The comms room houses all the buildings network infrastructure. After a snoop inside the cabinet i have successfully located the corresponding ports on the patch panel for my office network points.

I presume that all i need to do is connect the ADSL line to the patch panel and i will have ADSL in my office. The question is - What is the best way to do this?

Do i need to connect a BT master socket first ?
Or can i take the wires from the DP panel and just go straight to RJ45 for connection to the patch panel?

Thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
Is it currently left terminated at the DP or on a master socket? Do you have a tie cable from a Krone frame to a patch panel?

There are several ways of doing it. Depending on what you've got in the way of ties cables/patch panels etc.

Hopefully, if it's been done correctly, there'll be a tie cable from a Krone frame near the DP to a patch panel. Jumper the pair from the DP to the tie cable. The line will now appear at the patch panel on an RJ45. Use a patch cable from this port to the floor outlet near your desk. The line now appears where you need it. However, you then need to filter the dial tone from the ADSL - use an RJ45/BT adapter and then plug your filter in to that. Plug the router into the DSL side of the filter and a phone, if you need it, into the phone side of the filter. That's the best and tidiest way of doing things.
