digital phone answering machine

Southwestern Bell Digital Telephone Answering Machine
#FA970B
This answering machine is voice activated and is way too sensitive. Is it possible to adjust the voice activation so it is not so sensitive? How would I go about that if it is possible.

thanks..........glenda

retrofitting cabling

P

Pendragon on Jun 14, 2004

In a few weeks, I'll be installing the phone/network/cable wiring in my home. Since I couldn't do it during construction, I'll essentially be retrofitting. I'm running 2 CAT5's with 2 RG6Q in a single sheeth (about 3/4" round), 500' roll, purchased locally for less than $300. tax and shipping included. I'm installing the patch panel in a central closet and using star topology to run wiring to all the rooms. I have both attic and floor access and will be installing the connections only on interior walls (no insulation to fight). So, here are my questions.. Any tips on locating the outlets? I'm think at least 2 outlets in each room, on opposing corners. Should I go up through the floor or down from the attic? Floor seems like it would be easier, and use less cable, but I think from attic would be better. Attic would probably be easier to locate interior walls as well. How about how to locate the walls from the ceiling/floor? I'll have to be drilling a 1" hole, so the margin for error is pretty small, and I'd like to just cut the hole in the wall for the box, push the the line through and fish it out the hole, then install the box and outlet panel. For the initial feed from the supplier (ie phone and cable company), can I just run a length of the cable in the trench/conduit, to where I want the demarc box, and the leave enough on the pole end to go up the pole and make their connections, or do you think they will insist on using their own wiring, which means they will only install 1 RG6 and a 1 line phone wire, so any future upgrades would require another trench, or an arial run. My electric is going to be underground (in conduit), I was thinking I could use the same trench, the electrical will be 36" deep, can I run my cabling in conduit at the same depth, or should I backfill it to say 24" then run my cable conduit?Read More

2 out of 4 is bad

I have 4 phone jacks in my house. 2 are connected to a network interface system (both uses the red and green wires connected to 'Line 1' via screw down) and the other two are conncted to an old system (it has a ceramic base with a black button-like thing). The 2 jacks that are connected to the old system work but I get no dial tone with the other 2 (i tried both the jacks and plugging the phone directly into the NI). My question is how can I get all four jacks to work on the same line? please help.Read More
