Activating CAT-5 Network Junction Box?
My house is CAT-5 prewired. There are 6 RJ-45/phone outlets in the house and they all feed into a junction box. How do I activate the network in the house? I have a verizon DSL modem/router (a single unit). There is no where in the junction box where the modem/router can be plugged in. How on earth do I get this thing to work? I appreciate any help.
What, exactly, is in this “junction box”? Is it simply a hub/switch which connects all of the RJ-45 outlets in the rest of the house to each other?
If that’s the case, then it may be a simple matter of plugging the DSL router into the junction box just as you would any computer.
For example, when we wired our home office for Cat-5, we placed an 8-port switch in the storage room, where all of the cables were routed. When broadband finally came to our area, we simply plugged the ISP’s router into one of the spare RJ-45 sockets, and configured the computers on the network to use it as our gateway.
If the junction box has something else, I’ll need more details.
