Help with OnQ telcom wiring



Groupies,

I recently bought a house where the builder had a basic OnQ home wiring
solution installed for 12 telephone outlets.  The builder installed:
(1) a 1x6 Basic Telecom Module, and (2) a 6-port telcom expansion
module.  All jacks in the house have a single RJ45, and I can use
telephone in all of them, where the line into the house is from ma
bell.

I want to use this existing set-up to also get computer access to each
of these plugs, where it looks like the OnQ system is wired according
to the T568A standard.

The wall plates I can handle, in fact I assume I can leave them alone,
and use them for either phone or network.

What I would like to know is: (1) what the "Test Switch" dip-switches
on the front of the 6-port module do, (2) what the "Security Test" RJ45
port is for, and (3) recommendations on what to do to make this go
smoothly.

Thanks in advance,

Jim (jharlan at iwon dot com)
