Bonded dsl

     Ah yes, the bonded connection via two cable pairs.

Don't have fiber?, hate your cable company?, there is a way to speed up your phone connection.

When you first hear of this method well you may be a bit intimidated. As a phone guy starting out the last thing you want to hear about is a bonded connection.

It seems alien and well hard to do. It's not think of it as one phone line at a time. Two pieces of wire that run to the Central office or 2 pairs for bonded, Oh wait central office is a scary word too.  But you should not be afraid of that either. Let's simplify that. First The central office has cards that well generate dial tone and some that generate a way to get to the internet...dsl cards..dslams. some times they appear in the field as f2,f3,  but in Hawaii it's just part of your assignment notes after FACs. You will have your co pair,then a cable pair then another cable pair then your point pair, the last pair that goes to your house that you are working on. 

Now if your lucky the dsl is added in the CO. Then you just have to worry about your XBox pairs in the main land it's F1 and F2. I. Hawaii it's CO and Point pair.

Then you just need your 2 pairs that go to your home. I LIKE TO START AT THE HOUSE, find where the existing dsl jack is then get it ready for Bonded. You will need either 2 jacks or one jack wired for 2 lines usually blue white/orange white but some times red/green yellow/black. The configuration depends on your dsle type and modem. Some take 2 cords for dsl one and dsl 2 others take one cord that has 4 conductors in it. Usually the newer stuff like zyxel 3412.

Once I wire the jack, I tone that line out if there is more than one I use the secondary pair like orange white or yellow/black to tone out that wire. So ce most homes have no 2nd line it should be easy to tone out the second pair since it will not make all the primary lines tone. 

I then peel back the second pair on the drop. And hook up another protector module...a grounded yellow terminator or a gel water proof grounded connector,like an add a line kit. 

From there you should hear your tone on your drop all the way to your terminal.

Your primary pair is usually already there. The second pair will be on the pair listed on your 2nd facs on your order. Listen for the message like I. Hawaii it's, This is a data line. There will be about 50 volts DC on it. Connect it to your second pair on your drop and test the pair with your jdsu at the nid to see if its clean.

Once it's good your bonded mode. Should Light up it takes any where from 30 secs to  10 mins. If you had sync on your viavi you should have synce on your modem.

If there is no CO tech, go to the co and see if they left you your bonded pairs in the wood or in the hole , means that you will peel back the new jumper tied to your old one and swap it out for your new jumpers, that should make your new bonded line work at your home.

Don't spend to much time trying to fix an old wire run. Add a new one if it's bad.

Telephone

When you think of Telephone you automatically think cellular phones. Well here is a brief history of landline phones for my pals who want to wrap their heads around this media of telecommunications. Very brief, the telegraph sent electric pulses from one place to another. And those lines were later converted to 2 pair lines. It takes one pair for conventional telephone to work. It started with operators pluging in a mono head Phone like jumper into a plug when you wanted to talk to some one. That plug had a tip and a ring. Therefore you had tip and ring connections. So that orientation used to mater it was simple. that was until you had something that they added that according to my Trainor was called a polarity guard it basically made it to where tip and ring did not matter. Now professionally it matters since you want to look like you know what your doing haha. Ok now there are different ways to drop Telephone in to your home and business. We call those drop cables and just plain...

not your daddys cable any more...

Back in the day there was tv cable and that was it .Now...there's digital cable and internet on that simple piece of copper and steel braid. Hard to believe that there are rules to how it works. The center conductor although it carries the main signal is only a little part of how it all works. Lets start with the end of the cables journey. The fitting, the part of the cable that screws into the tv or cable box or internet modem. The fitting connects the cable network to your devices. It can also bleed out all your signal. So the right fitting is important. There many different types, the worst ones are crimp and screw on. They can bleed out enough signal to cause weak signals through out your home. Most of the time its due to how the fitting is attatched, a loose fitting or if one of the braid touches the stinger it will sapp away your signal. The fitting that works the best is a compression type so far, there are a couple different types. My favorite is an all metal type with ...
