Fault on line ?
Posted by Tx2 on May 23rd, 2004



What would no flashing sync light on a known working DSL modem
indicate...no ADSL signal from the exchange?

Have tried 2 modems on 2 different machines, and in all instances, there
is no attempt by the modem(s) to sync with the exchange, i.e the light
doesn't even flash/illuminate

If the light flashes but stays flashing, that means it can't sync for
whatever reason (i take it?) but no light at all...?

Everything form new cables to new filters [1] has been tried.

All other phones were removed from the circuit, and an unfiltered
connection was even tried.

Far from clear whether this is a previously working setup, or a newly
enabled line - when one of my clients had been told his line was ADSL
enabled, it turned out that there was still a DACS on the line, which
the ISP then asked BT to remove.

He had a USB modem to plug in, but using a cheap(ish) router which gave
the signal to noise figures, and has a few diagnostics, was much easier
to determine line problems, and Eclipse tech support pushed it back to
BTW to fix, and Eclipse only started billing period from start of
service ~10 days later when BT had sorted the line. PGM

Apologies, hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Reading it thru, it wasn't stated, however, i can tell you that this is
a newly activated, as yet unused installation.
