Subject: [ukha_d] Phone not ringing (via cat5e and patch panel)


> I am having trouble using my telephone over CAT5e cabling.
>
> I've got a dual-ended lead with an RJ45 connecter one end and an RJ11
> connecter on the other.  This goes straight from the phone socket to a
> wall outlet that's wired with CAT5e to my patch panel.  This
> dual-ended lead is 4 core.
>
> From the patch panel I patch it through to another wall outlet where I
> have a micro converter from RJ45 to a normal BT style female socket,
> in to which is placed my telephone.  The patch lead isn't cross-over.
> The RJ45 -> BT connector is also 4 core.
>
> I can pickup the phone, I hear a dial tone and can make calls and all
> is dandy from that side of things.  However, the phone doesn't ring at
> all.  If the phone is actually ringing, although I can't hear it, and
> I pick it up, I can commence a call as normal and replace the receiver
> when finished and it terminates the call as normal.
>
> I just don't get why it's not ringing.  It's the only phone connected,
> REN 1, and the cable runs are like 10m each, it's very close to the BT
> wall outlet.
>
> What've I done wrong (or haven't I done at all)?  I was thinking my
> pins aren't right or something.  I have tried multiple wall outlets
> and leads, converters but it's still not working :(
>
> Please help :(
