Connecting how can i hook up my x4270 when i have a cable modem for my phone line? do i have to use a splitter at the modem?

You need to connect the phone line to the DSL splitter... From the DSL splitter you will have 2 RJ11ports. one should be connected to the telephone and another should be connected to the modem....

Do you have phone service with Charter as well? If so the modem you have been provided is made to run both the phone service and the internet. If you purchased your own modem from best buy the phone portion would not be present so that is why those connections are not on the new one.

To cut to the point the new modem will work just fine for you internet but bear in mind it will now require another splitter for the coax cable line and each time that you add a splitter you will loose a portion of the incoming signal and this may affect your services.

Thanks,

Your connections are screwed up. Call your cable company for help in getting you straightened out.

Theoretically you can because the purpose your cable serves is a conduit for data transmissions. Just a few cautions here. Just as in any circuit, the more the wire is spliced,split, or anything that taps into it on its way . to the modem will add resistance to the line, thus it could degrade or "slow down" your signal. There is a splitter I know mediacom haves that will help with lessening this effect.

well no promises but this may work

items you will need

2 coaxial cables

3 way coaxial splitter

1 old phone cable you can sacrifice

soldering iron (optional)

solder (optional)

steps,

1
take a coaxial cable and cut on of the ends off, throw the severed end away and strip the insulation of the coaxial cable (only strip about 3 inches of it away.

2
seperate the coper (or sliver wire) from the wire center wire and twist toeghter to make a neat wire

3
strip some of the insulation away from the white center post revealing the coper wire inside

4
cut end off phone cable and take about 4 inched of insulation away

5
connect the green wire of the phone cable to the copper outter most wire of the coaxial cable and tape it so that there isnt any of the outer most wire showing

6
connect the white wire to the center wire of the coaxial cable and tape so that there isnt any wire showing

7
connect the coaxial/phone cable you just made to the 3 way splitter

8
connect the coaxial line that comes from your house to the splitter

9
connect the other coaxail cable to the last available port on the splitter

10
connect the non-modified coxial line to your modem/router

11
connect the phone cable to the fax

this might work, no promises, i havent tried it, but it might work and is worth a try

splitter is best

The phone line should plug directly into the Line plug on the DSL modem and the all-in-one should plug into the Phone plug next to it. If you need to split the line do it AFTER the line comes out of the Phone plug.

Please let the fax line be connected to computer itself do not remove , In the DSL line you get a splitter which the lines for phone and ADSL modem connect the splitter to DSL Line and from the Splitter you 2 o/p ports with phone marking or symbol connect the phone line to it and to line port connect the main 8957and then to ADSL line to ADSL modem from the ADSL modem connect to lan port which is behind the computer (not to dial up modem
i.e is fax line ) or the usb port in the computer ...

Good luck...

you will need a ethernet cable to connect it to the modem. the modem then needs a DSL cable wihch should connect to splitter in your phone line.

First of all what type of phone line r u using ....is it a normal phone leine or DSL....

IF u have a DSL...u need to have a splitter...
If u have normal phone line then connect it directly to printer in the line jack...and from Ext jack to phone...

Check if get on hook dail...ie..see if u can hear the dial tone...

Try sending a fax and if u get a msg "fax Complete " then its working
