I have digital home phone service with my internet...?

I want to hook a home phone up in my office area but my modem is plugged into the phone jack how can I hook it all up and still make it work?



Answer:

easy.the base-phone is connected to your computer modem...all other extensions only need an electrical outlet.you don%26#39;t have to plug it in anything, that%26#39;s the beauty about digital broadband phones.you can have up to 10 extensions all over your house!



ps. the base-phone has an build-in router and firewall. My digital phone service was through my cable company so I may have had a different situation than yours, but I had an open phone jack on the back of my modem. assuming you have DSL since your modem is connected to the phone jack... also assuming that your "digital phone" is VoIP.



replace the jack that your DSL is connected to with a double outlet jack, or add a second jack next to where your DSL jack is located...



on the DSL jack connect the green/red or blue/white to the green/red on the jack.



on the "new" jack... or 2nd plug for the double jack, connect the yellow/black, or orange/white to the green/red



if you are using a phone by where the VoIP ATA is right now, then put a 2 way splitter into the jack, connect a line cord from the ATA to the splitter, and a line cord from the splitter to your phone... then go to your NID outside, and make sure that all of the yellow/black and/or orange/white wires are connected to eachother... then go to the rest of the jacks in your home and take the green/red wires off, and connect the yellow/black, or orange/white wires to the green/red connectors of each jack...



this will give you your VoIP line on all of your jacks in your home...
