Hi, firstly may I apologise for my lack of technical knowledge. I am a somewhat technophobic senior citizen.
I am shortly having full fibre broadband with digital phone service installed.
I understand that the equipment being installed is an ONT, an EERO 6 router and a Grandstream HT801 ATA. The HT801 has a rj11 output socket.
My problem is that I wish to connect the ATA to my existing internal phone network via the existing master socket, which accepts a flat type plug rather than a square rj11 type plug, so as to be able to use my existing analogue phones in the various rooms throughout my house.
I have searched online and have discovered several different methods i.e. (1) a cable from the rj11 to flat plug which will fit into the master socket in the same way that a phone would. (2) a cable from the rj11 to the A & B terminals in the master socket (3) a cable from the rj11 connected to various terminals in the master socket. I would also be happy to accept any other method which is known to work.
Having looked online I have found a number of cables which may do the job but I am totally confused by the different types e.g. 2 wire or 4 wire, straight through or crossed.
Can anyone help me in this matter (with full details please) in very simple language?
Sorry if I have gone on too long.
Thank you in advance.
