Swapped them and they're happy. Thanks for being 1-800-go-steve. My physical install is done, onward to config.

Actually, you meant white/green... The rabbit hole, she's deep, Steve. Fortunately, I took the right pill. My probing continued because I found all of the house jacks except one on the blue and/or orange pairs. The one jack that mattered, that has my wireless base station for my "home" line...

Guys, thanks for the links to the existing posts, sorry I didn't come up with the right search, vaux is probably too specific. I know forums that have been operating for years are appropriately upset by newcomers who can't search or stay current with active threads. I empathize, I've been on a...

Steve, thanks for your patience and careful explanations. You've taken away a lot of doubt about how the OnQ might behave and I'll be diligent enough to see if a few probes with a meter confirm your instinct. It's helpful to see you agree that the OnQ should not be wired in this odd way with...

wuench, I see nothing relevant to my question at the post, did you possibly have a link in your clipboard that was in response to another question? The post you referenced is about x-10 relays. I'm asking if I can power an ELK M1XEP ethernet board using an ELK M1G's VAUX 12 volt output. A...

AC adaptor for the M1XEP says 1.5A output, bzzt. M1XEP manual says it draws 300ma, ding. Has anyone tried this? The only other thing I have on VAUX is one motion sensor. Any guesses on polarity of the barrel connector? I used to assume positive on pin until, bzzt. Heck, if it wasn't DOA...

The distance between the OnQ and the M1 do not permit this exact setup. The rjset's cable is too short and not worth snaking inside the wall. What's interesting is if I consider what you're saying, you're telling me I don't need the modular jack part of the rjset, just the handy cable. This...

Steve, I believe I'm saved on this one. It's a combo module. It's got a 1x9 telco punchdown with a security bypass and, yeah, they threw in a side order of video. If I could post links, I could show a different URL where there is a good zoom on the module's telco panel.

It is a motion sensor. Thanks for pointing at the glowing red thing in the corner of my family room. Fortunately my post count allows the obvious to elude me. I'm going to need to regulate my pace of posting or else I'm going to lose that excuse. Can anyone point me to a good resource on...

I'll hit it with a toner again and poke around some random walls. I'm in two story no basement construction, so I get limited intel on midfloor wiring. I totally buy the idea that this is a pre-wired upsell, though. The place was built in a housing market that supports that, is a typical...

So I'm upgrading to an M1 from a child's play thing aka Vista 10P. As I pry the wires off the old board that I can identify and tag them, I find myself left with a confusing wire and I need suggestions. The wire appears as a four conductor at the panel, with red and black to aux power, yellow...
