RE: Wiring idea

["Graham Howe" <graham@xxxxxxx>]

I agree with Keith,

I have put 2 x CT100 to both front and back of the lounge and to many other
rooms. At the AV centre I have 4 x CT100 and in the office (also happens to
be node 0) I have 4 x CT100 so that I can feed TV/FM to whichever computer
is being used. Pulling CT100 is by far the nastiest of all cable pulling I
have done (I guess mains twin and earth would be pretty unpleasant) but
remember you should only be doing this once, so do it right, separate cable
for every outlet!

Whilst on the subject, I have already run out of CAT5 ports in the sitting
room. I have six there but am using one for home phone, one for business
phone, one for LAN, one for each of the ISDN B Channels (the BT box is here
but the router and TA are two floors up) and one for a serial connection
from the laptop (acts as answer machines) to the TA. This now means that I
can not have a KAT5 unit in the sitting room or an alarm sensor connected
to
Comfort.

It really is not an option to run anymore cable, though I could sacrifice
two of the four CAT5 going through the wall of the sitting room into the
garage. However this would reduce future opportunities for garden
automation! The only other alternative (other than sharing a cable between
two applications) is to relocate the BT ISDN box to node zero. Is this
something I could do myself or would I have to contact BT to do it?
