I need help in running voice and data on my CAT-5 cabled home which has only ONE OUTLET IN EVERY Room
I have:
1. A "Hub" (Bell atlantic Ready system) in my basement from which CAT-5 Cables run to every room. Each end at the "hub" is RJ45 and it terminates in a RJ45 jack in every room.
2. I am told I can get 4 Tel #s into the home. I am currently using only 2
3. I have DSL ISP whihc will give me 4 Static IPs
I would like to:
A. Use build a small home network within the home which Shares data and voice
B. Split the four lines such that I can use them at every outlet
My Questions:
a) In order to use the 4 Static IPs do I HAVE TO HAVE A ROUTER OR CAN I MAKE USE OF THE "HUB" TO CONNETC UP?
b) How can I get more than 1 telephone line working on a single jack in every room. I DO NOT WISH TO BUY a 4-line TELEPHONE IN EVERY ROOM.
c) I go the Home Depot and buy a 4-outlet wall jack plate, open up the RJ45 connection in each room and wire up 4 outlets? (SOMETHING TELLS ME THIS IS A NO-NO)
Please help
