Getting the dial tone on my landline using a DECT ...

This issue has been ongoing since April 2012. If I use my Panasonic DECT phone (bought in 2006) to make or receive a call, the BB connection drops within 5 secs (Home Hub 2.0).  I had a Voyager 220V for 6 years working alongside this DECT phone and all was well. 
I had to call BT Faults in April because suddenly my BB service kept dropping out up to 6 times every half hour. (unrelated to the phone at that stage).  BT Faults Level 1 (India) said the Voyager needed had come to the end of it's life and needed replacing with a Home Hub 2.0.  They also said there was a software issue at their end & it would be sorted within 24 hours!!!.  The replacement Hub worked with my DECT phone for less than a week before I noticed whenever I made or received a call the BB dropped out after 10 seconds.
I called BT Faults about the issue of BB dropping out when the phone was used, but it went on for weeks with BT not getting to the nub of the problem.  They did their usual tests and in July they sent an engineer who swapped the hub over, ripped out the existing ADSL box, put in a new SSFB box (no filters required), tested and all was well for..... 10 days.  Then the old problem returned. I checked with my phone company about compatibility issues, but they were unable to help. (after all the phone had worked for 6 years alongside the old router).
I wrote to BT complaints and in Aug 2012, they sent yet another engineer who this time ripped out the existing internal cabling just outside the front door of the property (star wiring) and put a direct line in from outside, telling me that this should rectify the problem!!!   Another Home Hub 2.0 was tested and appeared to work compatibly with my DECT phone. Within 3weeks the old problem had come back.  BB drops whenever I get a dial tone or receive a call.
I've tried swapping over locations for the Hub and phone (at least 5' away from each other), swapped over power sockets, isolated all electrical devices using the same power socket, connected the Hub and the phone only to a different power socket. I'm fast running out of options.  BT Level 2 Faults will call me on Mon 24 if nothing has changed they want to send another engineer who this time will charge £110 no doubt & they still can't get to the bottom of the issue. 
If you've been through something similar and can offer suggestions, anyone please?
Wits end!

  • FXO not giving the dial tone

    Hi,
    We have FXO ports on the router and SIP trunk towards ITSP. People used to dial into FXO and get the dial tone to callout using the SIP trunk. But after the upgrade of the IOS, this functionality has stopped. Now if you call the FXO, you get busy tone. The IOS has been upgraded from 12.4(11) to 15.1(M4) to basically its a big leap.
    I strongly believe that we need to make some configuration to make it work like before.
    Please advise.           
    Attachached are the logs from the "debug vpm all"

    Here is the new feature complied in 15.X release
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/15_1/release/notes/151-2TNEWF.html
    Toll Fraud Prevention
    In Cisco IOS Release 15.1(2)T, the Toll Fraud Prevention feature is supported as below:
    •Source  IP address authentication is enabled on incoming IPv4 H323/ or SIP  trunk calls. The source IP address of any incoming IPv4 H323 or SIP  trunk calls will be authenticated based on:
    –Manually configured IP address trusted list.
    –VoIP dial-peer session target (the state of a VoIP dial-peer must be in "Operation State = UP")
    Incoming IPv4 H323 or SIP trunk calls will be rejected if the authentication fails and the default cause-code call-reject (21) disconnects the call.
    Execute the show ip address trusted list command to  display IP address trusted data and a list of valid source IP  addresses. The default behavior can be disabled as shown in the example  below:
    voice service voip
    no ip address trusted authenticate
    •Secondary  dial-tone is disabled for a call initiated from a FXO port. No  secondary dial-tone causes the outgoing call setup to fail if the called  number is NULL. The default behavior can be disabled as shown below:
    voice-port
    secondary dialtone
    •Direct-inward-dial  is enabled to prevent the toll fraud for incoming ISDN calls. Two-stage  dialing is disabled for incoming ISDN calls by default. The incoming  called number will then be used for outgoing call setup. The default  behavior can be disabled as shown in the example below:
    voice service pots
    no direct-inward-dial isdn

  • Fax won't get a dial-tone

    Printing to the fax used to work fine. I have sent many faxes. I'm not sure if 10.5.6 broke it or what but the fax won't even get a dial tone now. I have tried two different phone cables and the phone line works, I have a splitter on it and I can hear the dial tone when using the handset. I just downloaded the PageSender Fax software and it doesn't get a dial tone either. I have deleted and re-added the fax in the Printer & Fax system preferences but that didn't help.
    I tried setting the preference for not waiting for a dial tone but that doesn't work either.
    Are there known problems with the fax modem on 10.5.6?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    David.

    Good suggestion, but they look correct.

  • I lost the dial up connection dialog box. I unchecked a check item in the dial connetion box. How do I get the dial up connection back?

    I established a dial up connection by updating to automatic the remote managers and telephony in administrative tool services area on my XP system according to firefox help instructions.
    At first I had a dial up connection but I unchecked an item in the
    dial up connection box. I am not sure what I unchecked or toggled
    off. I then lost the dial up connection. I need to get the dial connection dialog box back. What needs to be done
    Thank you.

    I see no direct connection.. a printer and the computer setup for internet are not related.
    But it sounds like the router in the wife's office is now in the wrong mode..
    If you have an existing main router replace the second router for a switch .. that is the easy way.
    Otherwise you need to bridge the router if it has that option.. most do not. Or use wan bypass.. where you turn off the dhcp server in the router and fix its ip to match the range of the main router.. this is the hassle of using router as a switch.
    BUT I am making a huge number of assumptions.
    What I need is the full network layout.. a quick picture would help.
    I need main modem.. main router.. (maybe same box or different).. make model and current IP address and how dhcp is setup.
    I need secondary router.. if that is what it is, IP and settings.
    I want the printer type and model. How it is connected.
    BTW I much prefer to see a network printer plugged into the network rather than usb.. it is only a matter of sorting the IP settings and driver pointing to the network rather than local.
    Or you should think of it as a broken washing machine and call the technician.. who could fix the whole lot in an hour.

  • How do i turn off the dial tone?

    Hi all,
    Whenever I start a new text chat, I get a dial tone that bogs down my computer. How do I hang up the phone and just do a regular text chat?
    Thanks,
    js

    HI Jesse,
    IN System Preferences > Network go to the Second drop down and bring up the Network Port Configurations.
    If you deselect to Internal Modem can you still get on line and does the Dial tone disappear ?

    Hi Rajeev,
    To retrieve a FilterContainer you will need to traverse the report structure:
    ReportStructure boReportStructure = boDocumentInstance.getStructure();
    ReportContainer boReportContainer = (ReportContainer) boReportStructure.getReportElement(0);
    FilterContainer boFilterContainer = null;
    if (boReportContainer.hasFilter()) {
         boFilterContainer = boReportContainer.getFilter();
    } else {
         boFilterContainer = boReportContainer.createFilter(LogicalOperator.AND);
    Calling boDocumentInstance.getStructure() will retrieve the entire structure for the document.
    Calling boReportStructure.getReportElement(0) will retrieve the structure for the first report of the document.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Dan

  • Getting the output from a Perl script using Runtime.exec

    I cannot get the output from a perl script using Java. Can someone PLEASE help?
    I used the following code:

    InputSream in = p.getInputStream();
    b...
    do
    System.out.println(b);
    while ((b = in.read()) > 0)
    But there is no way that I get the output in the inputstream. If I use the command "cmd script.pl", the output is displayed in the Dos box, but also not in the inputstream.
    I will appreciate any help.

  • How Can I Get the Amount of Free Disk Space Using space using windows 7 please share example using GetDiskSpace

    How Can I Get the Amount of Free Disk Space  using windows 7 please share example using GetDiskSpace i have already studied http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9958B8E473C4EF1786256BBC0053B64F

    Reading your question a bit more in detail, I doubt whether you are using Win32 API GetDiskFreeSpace function (for which my previous post is the solution) of Programmer's Toolbox GetDiskSpace function.
    With reference to the second one, it works even with disks larger than 2GB but you need to use the proper formatting code to display the returned value. I updated my example to show total free space in the debug output window and added a comparison with 3GB value using UInt64TypeCompareUInt from the Programmer's Toolbox.

  • I won Lightroom 1.0 a few years ago at an Adobe clinic in Fremont. I have since misplaced the original disk and cannot get the program to open. It wants a serial number and I don't have one. How can I get the serial number so I can use the software?

    Thanks for replying, Jim. I wasn't planning to use it for raw images. I shoot film, black and white, and have many negatives I want to print. I am unfamiliar with the upgrades in Lightroom. I wasn't unhappy with the version I have. It was useful for my purposes.
    Because it was a few years ago, I don't remember if I registered the product. I was able to login to my account. But could not find a path to communicate with Adobe. I will keep trying.
