HELP on how to Network my house
Hello:
My house is cat5 prewired. It has a phone line that comes from the outside into a hub with 8 t10/100 lines to 8 outlets throughout the house; The same hub is jumpered by a cat5 cable (RJ45) from telco outlet to Home outlet. If I disconect this cable the phone service in the house is disconnected; I have DSL through Bellosuth. I have a Westell modem that I want to connect to the hub with the phone cable (rj11) on the TELCO port using a DSL filter. on the RJ45 port of the modem i want to connect a switch and then from there go to the RJ45 port HOME in the hub. my question is if this way will work for my DSL internet and phone service or if not what kind of hardware I need to network my house from this point Thanks for your help |

Re: HELP on how to Network my house
Using a 66 block, which can be purchased from any major networking supply company, you can punch all of the cables onto it(4 pairs/cable). After doing so, run jumpers between all of the white-blue/blue cables to eachother, tie that into the hub for your incoming phone service. Then for the 3 existing pairs on the cat5 left on the 66 block. Place rj45 terminators on them to allow yourself the ability to run patch cables from those terminators to a network router. Have the router hook up to your DSL modem. After doing all of this, then go to each room, using a punch tool and two-port plates, put two cat5 jacks in each room as opposed to one, use the whiteblue pair from the 4pair cat5, for the phone jack. And for the internet, you only need 3 pairs for it to work. You can use the remaining 3 pairs from each cat5 line to each room to terminate onto a cat5 jack for the internet.
1)Mount 66 block on wall. 2)Punch all ethernet cables from all rooms onto the 66 block pair by pair. 3)Run single twisted pair between all whiteblue/blue cables & tie into one port on the telco hub. 4)Place cat5 terminators on the remaining 3 pairs & run ethernet cables(patch) from terminators to the router. 5)Hook the router's WAN into the pc/internet port on your westell/DSL modem.(and hook dsl modem to the telco hub) 6)Split whiteblue/blue pair from all rooms cat5 and punch in separate cat5 jacks.(phones) 7)Punch remaining 3 pairs into cat5 jacks.(network/pc) Let me know how that works out for ya. or if you need further clarification.
