Hi There all,
I have my phone line coming straight in to my socket (there is nothing in between). I bought an "ADSL nation" XTE-2005 (I think that is what it is). It has the following connections:
2, 3, 5, A, B.
The electrician left me a cable with four coloured wires:
White, Brown, Green, Black.
After some tinkering I found that if I connect it up as follows both my phone and broadband work:
Brown -- A
White -- B
Nothing else is connected at all. So I lived with that for a while, but then I wanted to move my phone to a different location and leave the adsl where it is. So I run a second cable connected to A and B to where my phone is and connected that to a remote socket, and this also works ok.
However I have no idea why! So my questions are:
- Is correct?
- Is this causing unnecessary noise on my system?
- What are 2, 3, 5 used for?
Finally my adsl nation fixture does not fit my wall mounting because the wall mount is flat and the adsl is not flat back and has slightly different screw fixings. What do I need to do to attach it to the wall nicely - is there some spacer I have to buy?
Pic 1 shows my wiring. You can see the Brown and White wires coming in from the "outside" world, and then my "extension" wire (which is just an ethernet cable that I am using 2 of the wires from) is also connected to the same connections A and B to my phone extension socket elsewhere in the house:
Pic 2 shows my wall mouting and the ADSL that don't fit together : (
Thanks very much for any pointers.
