I have just moved into a home that was prewired for a home network using Cat5e and a USTec home run center. All connections inculding phone, network and cable TV come to the UStec box. The bad part is the previous owner did not install the home network compoents in the UStec box. This should be easy enough. I thought I would put my own router and DSL modem in the box and just make the RJ45 connections on the cable, which I've done. The problem now seems to me that I can't get a signal to the Modem. The phone section of the panel is configured with one inline and 8 pluges that are output lines; meaning that each one goes to phone in the house. When I pull the plug from an out port and plug my DSL modem I am expecting a signal just like I get when I plug into the phone wall outlet; what I get is nothing, no DSL signal. Am I don't this correctly? if not please explain.
