Bellsouth DSL

[Rican219]

The gray box sperates the pairs from the street to the house. That is really something a Belltech should install. Usually with Residential wiring the Red and Green pairs are what they use for dailtone. DSL runs at a Higher Frequency on the same lines as the phone calls come in on so the filter you put on inside of the house will filter it out so you can use it. It may be possible that they provided that box to seperate the pairs for issues like your having but I have never seen that done before (normally) Like I said usually a Bell tech will install that because if you go into bell south equipment and tamper with it it is what's called a "tariff violation" which I know in commercial buisnesses is a high fine. Not sure on residential

I can do it and have the equipment to do it with but just wondering why they sent that to you?

its wierd... when i moved in... the box was already at the doorstep w/ my name on it... before we even moved our shit in.

they are really quick with that shit, as soon as we transfered our service they sent it out.
So then i pop it open theres abox inside the box... labeled "self-install kit" or something...

had some filters, the modem, some drivers, etc right and that grey box, with instructions...
