RE: Fax problems on Cat5 cabling

Try an ordinary phone in the socket.

Sounds like one of the wires isnt getting through... probably BT2 as the
bell is on BT3 and BT5

Subject: [ukha_d] Fax problems on Cat5 cabling


I recently moved my ISDN line up to Node0. I brought the single pair
coming into the house up to the 'digital access' box (A and B
connectors) which then goes to the Home Highway box. I then took both of
the analogue lines out to my patch panels, each of which is split across
4 patch ways (punched down in a straight through arrangement i.e. green
to green, blue to blue etc etc)

The phones connected to these work fine but my fax machine (HP
officejet) doesn't pick up the line - it rings and appears to pick up
the line (stops ringing after 2 rings) but it doesn't actually answer
(the relay in the HH box keeps on clicking - ringing).

Any thoughts?

Paul.
