atcomsystems.ca/forum Forums Wiring - Telecom Carriers - Trunks & Services T1's, CSU's and DSU's Guys I need help with a new T1 line, I'm borderline suicidal!

The one in the POTS box you can't get access to it's under the cover (in the T1 NID) with the circuit discription on it. The gray one that is unplugged (top NID) only gives it to you on the hardwire as stated previously.

Did you verify the pins and colors as suggested?

No In my side of the POTS has the the following currently, plus the blue cable that is plugged into the small box.

This is the Pots box current config.

This is where the blue cable is connecting currently.

I don't get why they make me use both??

You don't have to use both. The gray wire that goes from the NID (metal) to the environmental mounting (plastic) is how AT&T is getting the HDSL signal from the NID to the H4TUR located behind the door in the environmental mounting. All you need to be concerned with is where the blue cat5 is plugged in. Take your router outside and plug it directly into the RJ48C (where the blue CAT5 is now) if it works there it's your wire.

Hmmm then I wonder why when we messed with the wiring scheme in the POTS big metal box it made the directly connected blue wire mess up in the small box. I'm going to try a new CAT5 in a little bit. Should the POTS wires be unhooked?

I think you need to re-read some of the sound advise you've been given. :scratch:

NO. It would be best to avoid even touching the POTS side of the installation, because the span power is probably turned on - that is how the HDSL4 card gets its operating power. It can shock you, especially when it is wet!

Please re-read whynot's last post, the one right above your last post.

Speaking from a secure undisclosed location.

Okay so the ports 1 and 2 of the pots labled T-1 obviously do something then, the white/blue - Blue and white green - green. I'm checking the blue cat5 for corrosion now and if I see none I will connect with a new cat5.

Alright I took the router out to the box and connected the network port on the Adtran directly to the spot that is where the old cat5 was connected. Still getting errors on the line when looking at the status in the router. Also getting about 18% packet loss between my router and the gateway server. Should I have them put in a trouble ticket with AT&T? He said it could be my router has issues but I kind of doubt it.

Well................... kinda hard to say it's not the router.

Well they are bringing another Adtran on Thursday to see if its indeed my router. My router is under warranty until 2016 but it takes 2 weeks for repairs. So if the router is indeed the issue they are going rent me one until mine comes back for repairs.
