Best T1 DEAL Networking Questions Fastest Internet

Posts Tagged ‘office’

I’m not very savvy when it comes to telecommunications but I will try to explain to the best of my ability.

I have recently moved offices, because of a good deal at a better/larger office. The last tenant had vacated the office about a year ago. They had renovated the office and installed a PBX phone system and lay cables for a network throughout the office (cat5e cable with about 15 rj45 wall jacks). They left the office in a rush, and were apparently being loaned most of their equipment, so they removed it all, so when I moved in there was just a bunch of cat5e cables hanging out of the wall in the closet, as well as the demarcation (?) phone cables. The phone cabling is all wired up to a krone punch-block. I tested some of the pairs (Blue/White, Orange/White, Green/White) with an analog phone, and got a disconnected tone from the O/W and G/W pairs – I’ll assume they had 2 phone lines running through these pairs.

My ISP has activated naked DSL for the building (a techie went out to the exchange and did whatever they do). On my end, all I’ve done is connected my modem directly up to the appropriate pair (regular cable from modem to the wall with the BT plug cut off and the wires exposed) to see if I get DSL Sync. I get absolutely nothing though, and I have tested a few of the other pairs too.

So my question is: Am I doing something completely wrong/stupid? Should wiring up the modem to the phone wires like this work? What should I do to sort out the problem (DIY)?

I have 2 adsl lines. one in home and the other in office. My Home’s adsl is 512 kbs and office has 1Mbs.
Here I want to use my office username and password to make the download faster. Is it possible?
Currently I’m using TP Link TD-8817 model router to access internet in my home and my pc is vista 32 bit.

We are doing networking for new office and electrical work also.The electrical engineer want to put both the Cat5 cable & electrical cables together in one box.Is there any problem if we put them together?

I will supply CAT5 and outlets

This 5-step tutorial covers how to share your contact list in Outlook using Office Live Workspace at no cost. Small businesses no longer need to set up an exchange server if they just want to share contacts. 1. Obtain Windows Live ID (passport.net) 2. Obtain Office Live Workspace Account 3. Create Contact list in Office Live Workspace 4. Set up Outlook (Use gmail if you don’t have a POP3 compatible or IMAP compatible e-mail account) 5. Sync Outlook contacts with Office Live contact list

Hello, I am an IT Manager and my company is moving to a brand new building this year. They are very interested in going wireless. I was thinking, should I even think about CAT5 cabling for a backbone or failover? Do we even need CAT5 cabling anymore? Wireless seems pretty secure if you set it up right and its reliable. I wanted to know if anyone has ever heard of any companies going 100% wireless with no wired infrastructure (besides server room).

Thank You,
Lou
Do you think it is ok to not even wire the new office with CAT5 cabling? Or should it be there JUST IN CASE?

Thank you!

I own a office building with 8 tenants, each from different companies and organizations. We want to provide free internet access to each client as a perk of the building. Each room is already wired with cat5 cable and leads to our storage room.

I was planning on buy a commercial high speed package and a router. However how do I prevent tenant A from trying to access tenant B’s files. I know they can turn sharing off on their computer, but will that prevent them from accessing each others files if someone gets nosy? (someone local told me have one big router and then 8 smaller routers – one for each company – is that even workable or feasible)

Also should I go with static ips instead of dynamic? Any idea would be appreciated to make this work.

I have a Cisco ATA 186 Analog Telephone Adaptor.. and i have a remote location in which i have extended network capability to by means of Fiber.. and they now want a fax line at this location.. i’ve search the Avaya site for an adapter and they have none.

I’ve just moved into a new office space and I am using the current company’s internet connection. However, i’d like to setup my own router inside the network using the available wall port.

Is that possible?

I am looking for a cordless phone system that has features like an office style pbx. Handsfree paging to all phones, call transfer, etc. I would like the basic functionality of a system like that without having to run new wiring all over.

How should I start? Should I get a server? I want to have all these computers share a medical program in real time. I dont have dsl-only dial up at this point, but in the future it is possible. Would I have to get the walls wired for CAT5 cables? What is the most feasible choice-Any help is appreciated. My first choice is to designate one computer as the server and then link thru wireless–not sure if it can be done, so I need some advice. I dont have much experience in networking.

a. Have someone at the remote location console into the switch and give them the directions over the phone
b. Use Telnet
c. Remote Desktop into the switch
d. Use its Console port

Someone on the day shift keeps changing my ringer and turning down the volume on my phone while I’m not at work. It’s really starting to get on my nerves, and I need to know how I can lock my phone or keep this person from changing MY phone settings.

Can someone recommend a PBX for my needs? I have a home office with one incoming land line. I don’t what to change my phone plan nor my number. But I’d like to have an automated attendant that I can record (e.g. “Thank you for calling Acme Anvil Co. For Eric, press 1. For Samantha, press 2) and then be able to connect the wired telephones that I already have to “line one” and “line 2.” I’m not worried about a high volume of calls, so the one incoming line is fine.
I definitely don’t want a PC or software-based system – A simple standalone box is fine. (I don’t need VOIP or cordless handsets, detailed data on the calls, or anything complex). thanks

I work in a small office with a telecommunications cabinet 4 ft x 5 ft x 1.5 ft made of plywood which contains a UPS, router, DSL modem, phone switches, etc that make a constant humming noise. How can I easily and inexpensively reduce the noise?

PBX is too expensive. I need three phone lines and four phones. I do not know anything about IP phones. I am concerned about all of the wires if we have three phone lines running to each of the four phones! Please help!

We have an issue of static with the Verizon system in our small office. A different line every time; can’t pinpoint when, where or why it will happen. Verizon and our PBX manufacturer just point fingers at each other, w/no solution so far.

Swapped out all of our PBX equipment a while back, so I think it’s Verizon. Someone suggested going to a T1 for the phones — we already have one for data — to circumvent Verizon. Need to know what the possible risks are. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

My two-employee (with an occasional intern) office has a very old phone system, one with probably more features than we need. We have four lines coming in. A few weeks ago, something strange happened to the phones, making them not work the same way they used to. Since this system is so old, we do not have any of the telephone or system manuals and don’t know how to fix it. We may need new phones or an entire new system.

The current phone seems to be a PBX system. The cabinet and three phones are all Fujitsu. I guess my question is can I just buy new 4-line phones (nice and cheap) and us them with the current cabinet, or do I also need a new cabinet (not so cheap)?

Our office would probably be fine with a key-less system, just using the phones, but I imagine that would involve a removal of the current cabinet, which would also require professional installation (un-installation) services. Any ideas are appreciated. We are looking for the most cost-effective option. Thanks.
