ADSL & Panasonic Telephone System ?

Edwards Finance > Phones

Q. I have a Panasonic telephone system installed and wish to add ADSL. The BT Telephone lines I have coming into the house goes into a box ( a kind of termination point?), then into the Panasonic system, then out to each tel extension. There are no Master sockets that I can use, if I understand BT self install specs correctly. Q. Will ADSL work with this telephone system as it is or do I have to put Master sockets in seperately from this system.? Q. If so how ?

A. I'm not 100%, but I think this is one of the occasions when the order would be returned with "incompatible services". If you have the lines connected to a PBX, there isn't (as you say) any NTE's. One of the requirements of ADSL is that it terminates on a socket. Although it may be technically possible to get it working by butchering the wiring, I wouldn't recommend it and would actually be regarded as "illicit". Hard wired systems must be covered by a licenced maintainer (to ensure that the installtion complies with the PXML) and only BT are allowed to play with their lines. Don't you have a seperate line anywhere? For a fax for example? Or you could have one of the lines (if you have several) taken off the Panasonic and provided on a socket. What a coincidence, I have just hit this problem today with a client of ours. We ordered on thier behalf ADSL wires only (Plusnet). The client gave us their fax number and we forwarded this to Plusnet. This has passed tests and is now active. BUT when we go to the clients their fax line is being routed through the Panasonic PBX to an extension socket. And guess what the ADSL signal is not being forwarded to the extension socket. I guess the PBX was not designed with ADSL in mind!! I think this is done like this so the fax machine can go anywhere on an extension socket. It looks like the incoming lines come into a NTP. Is this BT only who can play with this? I suspect that the PBX is unable to handle the high frequencies used by ADSL. Most systems now don't provide a metallic path internally and it appears as if it's unable to switch frequencies above the 3.4KHz limit for voice. *Technically* the network provider (BT) are the only people authorised to take the line off the NTP and provide it on a socket.
