I have the necessary test / tone gear available for you to use. It is out on loan today but I expect to have it back on Wednesday. You are welcome to come to the Wednesday night GRLUG/GRMakers social and pick it up. 6pm till midnight. <br><br>Regards,<br>Casey DuBois<br>616-808-6942<br><br>On Apr 6, 2013, at 12:42 PM, Dave Chiodo <<a ymailto="mailto:megadave@gmail.com" href="mailto:megadave@gmail.com">megadave@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br>> Well, as it turns out he already has cat5e run to phone jacks in the<br>> rooms he needs to connect to.<br>> <br>> Currently there are only RJ-12 jacks with one pair connected, so I am<br>> going to look up appropriate snap-in RJ-45's he can get to replace<br>> those.<br>> <br>> What would be really useful would be a tone/probe trace set so we can<br>> identify each drop, and also verify the lines going to his outside NIU<br>> since he wants to relocate his DSL modem.
