Hi there, I have moved into a property and I am fixing the phone up. I had a look under the house for the main line for the phone and found I don't have a NID.
I just have the wires for the home phone coming up out of the ground through the soil and about a foot of cabling sticking out from the ground. Its a thick black cable with two wires coming out red and black.
I only plan on having a DSL modem connected and VOIP no phone lines will be installed in the house at all.
Now I tested the red and black wires with a handset and get a dial tone fine.
But and there is always a but, I have the following questions...
1) I have red / black wiring coming from the phone lines out in the street and up through the ground. On my socket in the house I have a blue / white cable from where it was cut previously before I got here. I have hooked them up either way and I get a dial tone. Which way should I join the red / black to the blue /white?
2) I need to make a connection where the wires are coming up from the ground, there is literally a black cable coming out of the ground only about a foot so I have limited cable length to play with and the floor is very low to the ground. I want to put a junction box or something there to join the mains wires to the house wiring simiiar to a NID but on a smaller scale what would be the best way to do this?
3) Do I need a filter if I am using naked dsl and voip?
Look forward to your reply!
