Elk RJ questions

[IVB]

Hey guys. Got all my Elk telco/RJ31 wiring done, 2 questions:

1) How am I supposed to run the DSL wiring? As soon as I turn on the Elk, my DSL dies. As soon as I turn it off, my DSL comes back up. Right now it's setup for telco->Elk->distro(incl DSL port). Should I put it with telco->Elk&DSL->distro?

2) How do I test the line seizure on alarm? I tried arming it, waiting until it entered arm away mode, then violating, but I could still pick up the phone and hear a dial tone.

Thanks.

I'm not sure where the post is but I remember someone recently asking about wireing up dsl and elk...

here is a post about needing a filter. ALARM DSL FILTER also check out this web page about splitting the DSL out before the RJ jack.... DSL Splitter Installation With An Alarm System

I'm not clear on what you mean by distro, but this is what I got working:

telco->dslspliterfilter+digital->DSL->Router
                        +analog-->Elk->Phones

Both of those posts were perfect, spot on, huge thanks for the quick response.

I ran it telco->Elk->Phones+DSL. Looks that, well, that was just plain wrong.

Ok, back to the basement.
