Question about Network AND phone line protection: Also, a separate question: Are the 2 AC lines protected 3 ways(3-line)?

There are 2 network connections, 1 input and 1 output. The jack is a 'combo' jack that accepts either RJ11 or RJ45 connections. Generally you would use the RJ11 before your modem. You could use the RJ45 after, especially with cable modems, but it wouldn't protect the modem itself. The AC protection is 3 ways, L-N N-G and L-G

Based on what I know after installing to my whole house phone wiring, I would have to say "NO". There would have to be two phone out connections and each would have to be dedicated in order for a two line system to work.

Any kind of good wiring (old 4 wire phone, or Cat 4 / 5) can be used. I'm using mine to connect to multiple wired lines via the in-wall house wiring. One of the wired lines is a traditional cordless phone that runs 4 cordless extensions from it. Just be careful to remove the incoming network wiring at your legacy network interface box. You can't have two feeds into your wired network.

What this does is it steals two of the wires from the Ethernet cable and uses them for the phone line since 10/100 Ethernet only uses 4 of the 8 wires in a Cat 5e cable. So, in order to pass phone from one end to the other you use a splitter at both ends to use the stolen wires at one end to connect to the originating phone service and at the other end to connect to the telephone at the expense of not being able to use the connecting wire as a gigabit Ethernet wire (gigabit uses all 8 wires in the cable).

mowgli - Calls using more than one outside line would be subject to your service provider's network, so you'll have to contact the provider. CL83203 is compatible with network features such as 3 way calling. Thanks!

You would need a blocker for each incoming phone line. The number of phones is irrelevant.

It has telephone and data jack protection ports. I'm not sure if the protector will strip off the DSL. Most likely it won't.

Bobby G., There are two phone plugs located on the side of the unit, one is labeled 'PHONE' the other is 'LINE'.from: Enrique Cuano.

I honestly don't know if it can be turned off. We use both. I think when both lines are being used, our Comcast service kicks in. When that happens there is a tone on the phone and I just put my password in to get the Comcast voice messages. I'm sorry for not being able to answer your question fully.

Your question doesn't make sense. What is a non system phone? The phone has 4 line capability. We have 2 business lines and that ONE telephone cord plugs into the back and the one line splits to the other 2 lines. We also have a home line that plugs into the back and it works. Phone has 4 line capability and we use 3. We do have other regular single phones (home) plugged in around the house and it works fine with this phone

You can always plug multiple items on one phone line. You can only use one at once. If you receive faxes, you just need to make sure only one is in answer mode.

There are 2 ports on the adapter. Each port supports 1 line. For example you could connect the phone line to a base station for a set of wireless phones, or to an existing outlet in the house (note: if you connect to a outlet in the house, make sure you disconnect the phone line coming in from the street. I hear this can zap out the adapter). I have been using this for several years and am very happy with it's performance.

I don't think that matters. We have three units, one where the router is and two others all on different circuit breakers. Network works fine.

I would call tech support. Not great phone manners, but informative. I would highly recommend a surge protector. I replaced 4 circuit boards in 5 years. $$$

You can plug your phone, cable and powered devices into this for full surge protection. It does not slow your speed or affect your devices in any way. The surge protection is a passive device and has no effect on the equipment. If your're using DSL then plug the phone line coming into the house into this device first then use the supplied cable to continue the connection to your modem. If you have a surge in the power or a possible lightning strike near the house then this device kicks in to absorb the extra energy. This may not protect a direct lightning strike so I also use a Supco SCM150 Surge Protector on the main breaker box of the house as added protection.

At home I have 2 power lines (120v each), one is for electrical distribution at frontal part of my house , and 2nd line at back side (Bdr, baths etc) and then I use both lines for Air conditioned, heaters, etc. and other items running on 220 V. Previously, I had a failure (at night)in the line going to the front part of the house, so we didn't notice this, and 2 of the AC overheated running in only 110v and one of them even caught fire. so now I plug this unit in electrical outlet (1 switch in 1 outlet per line) . this way, if one of the lines is down, the alarm goes off, it's very loud ! uses batteries as backup. I am very happy with this product.

Yes, there is a jack for a single line and a jack for 2 lines. It really only depends on the phone line you use. A phone cord with 4 prongs are for two lines and 2 prongs are for 1 line
