Thanks for replying. Yes, I want to cease telephone service from my ISP (CenturyLink) and just use their DSL. I now get both DSL and phone service from a single line which uses filters at the phone jacks to route to "DSL" or "Phone"
I found a good and detailed explanation of hook up choices and considerations on a link I found on this forum but am still trying to understand it fully.
I have six twisted pairs coming from the phone company wiring into the "Network Interface Unit (NIU). Five are not being used and are capped off. The Blue wire is connected to the inside wiring Red wire and the White wire is connected to the Green wire (line 1). The inside wiring Black and Yellow are just dangling and unattached (line 2).
The instructions I have been reading say to route the Line 1 (Red/Green) to the Line 2 (Black/Yellow) so I get DSL now on Line 2. I would have to connect the Black/Yellow wires to phone company orange/white wires. Then use the Line 1 wires to connect the OBi200 to my existing phones through my router/modem which is now connected to Line 2. I can use a Line 1/Line 2 splitter connected to my telephone jack. This would enable me to connect 5 of my six cordless phones from one location at the router and use my lined kitchen 2 line phone switched to line 2.
I hope I've described this to make sense?
