IPlate/Master Socket, Help Needed!

(Before i start this is my first post so  sorry if i mess something up )
Hi,   
I want to install a BT Iplate but i have a Master socket that is not supported. (Pic below)
Is there any chance i can change my master socket to the one below so i can install an iplate?

Hi Eaglealex7,
The newer Openreach BTNTE5 master socket already filters interference from extension sockets. Pre-filtered ADSL/VDSL master sockets also already filters interference from extension sockets.
if you have a look at this link here it will tell you what Master sockets work with the iplate / Accelerator : http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProd​ucts/displayTopic.do?topicId=25075
The accelerator/iplate can sometimes cause more issues in some cases. Have a look at removing the BellWire/Ring wire from terminal 3 of your master socket and extension sockets which does the same thing as the accelerator/iplate but sometimes more effective. Link : bellwire removal

  • BT master socket help please

    Hello everyone
    About 10 years ago when I still lived with my folks I decided to get broadband but as the pc was in my room it meant running a big long wire from the built in pc modem down to the phone socket in the hall way  
    So an engineer came round and made the socket in my room the master phone socket, now all these years later Ive moved out but now my mum and dad are having terrible troubles with their laptop struggling to pick up the router signal which has to be upstairs in my old room with the master socket and they have terrible broadband speeds. My question is could I myself swap around the master socket from my old room to a downstairs socket easy enough or would I need an engineer ?  Im guessing I could do it with the right instructions as Ive seen engineers do it very quickly and easily.
    Does anyone know of any detailed online instructions/video tutorials etc so I can do this please ? Ive looked but am struggling to find any.
    Thanks so much in advance
    Joe

    Sorry, one thing I'm not clear about from the original post. Is there still a working socket downstairs which has been used as an extension. If so you may be able to just relocate the hub. Provided the wire is in good condition you shouldn't get too much drop off.
    BT would need to see the socket to know if you've moved it, but if you have a problem at any time with your broadband you'll have some explaining to do and may be charged.

  • Material Master WF help needed

    Hi Friends,
    I am Developing Material Master notification mail workflow.
    I am using BUS1001006.
    Here I am confusing how can I send particular material information to particular Dept.
    i.e If that Material related to mechanical dept I have to send mail to mechanical dept. If that material related to electrical I have to send Electrical dept. Like this they have 6 departments.
    Here I can find these departments with STORAGE LOCATIONS and one Department contains 10 to 15 Storage Locations.
    Can anybody suggest me what I have to do.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sri Lakshmi

    Hi,
    No need of creating six task. Create a ztable, from that ztable you can determine org unit (electical mechanical etc) based on storage location.
    Once you determine the org unit , you have to create a rule to send workflow to everbody under that org unit. You will have to use RH_STRUC_GET function module in your rule( function module you are using for rule).
    So in first task you will fetch org unit from ztable based on the storage location. IN second task you will send the workflow there you will have to assign your rule. In the rule you will be determining the agents.I know it is complicated if you have not done it. I can give you some code examples for rule funciton module.
    Thanks,
    Shweta

  • Need help identifying my master socket for broadba...

    Hi i am awaiting my line to go active for broadband but i just want to make sure the socket i am going to use is my master socket.
    I can only find 1 socket in my house and it has a T logo in the bottom corner. This socket is on the bottom of my stairs (annoying place). I have opened it up and it looks like it has a capacitor on it. When i follow my wire coming out of the box it goes down a couple of steps and goes into another small box with a T logo on the front but all this has on it is a screw dot in the middle and another T logo. 
    So is the socket on stairs the master socket and if so what is this other box is it some sort of wiring centre?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ahh right so it is my master socket but it must be older than the picture above as mine takes the whole face off and not just the bottom section and it does not have any test point on it.
    Would it be recommned to update my socket to a newer one? I ask this as i was looking into iplates to help boost my speed but there not conpatible with my current socket.
    And i need to put a extention into my living room is it best to just plug it into my master socket or will i lose speed this way?

  • Help needed please for master socket wiring

    I am renovating a house built in the 1970's which I shall be moving into shortly.
    My electrician has put in telephone sockets in two of the bedrooms but when he came to the master socket he found the builders had by mistake cut the wire too short so he could not make a connection.
    The master socket is in the hall low down on the wall and it looks as if the wire comes into the house underground.
    I have spent hours on the telephone trying to get the right person to speak to at BT who tells me I need to contact Open Reach as it is damage and when I eventually found a number to ring them they tell me it is BT's problem.
    In exasperation I telephoned the moving house line as none of the press button numbers seemed relevant.
    I just want a BT person to come and have a look to see what to do but they have told me that I need to give them a date for when I move and they will come and look then.  However, I need the builders to fill in the large hole in where the wire comes into the house so I can have a floor laid.
    Any help would be so much appreciated

    Hi Kh,
    Thank you for your post and welcome to the forum. If you would like a BT Engineer to go out and take a look at your line this can bee arranged when you place an order to activate the service. With the line being damaged by the builder, there will be a charge of around £127.99 to activate the service.
    If you need any help placing your order to activate the service, please drop me an email with any BT account details, along with the address details for you new property. My email address is [email protected]
    Thanks

  • 2 master sockets and only one needed

    Hi
    The homes orginial master socket is upstairs in a box room. Downstairs in the extension is another master socket which was installed by my ex-employer for work related matters only.
    The problem I have is that with the Home Hub 3 router being upstairs I cannot get Wifi in the extension which is the one place I need it. I'm trying to weigh up the costs of buying a BT wifi hotspot and extender versus moving the home landline line numberto the master socket in the extension (formerly paid for by the company).
    Any advice at all would be appreciated.
    Many Thanks
    Andy

    Welcome to the forum
    Using one of the BT extenders would work out cheaper, and would not involve Openreach changing the routing, with the possibility that it may go wrong.
    If you can use an Ethernet connection upstairs, then there are cheaper Powerline devices that do not have wifi capability.
    If you decided to add wifi at a later date, then you can always plug in a wireless access point.
    There are some examples on this page http://forumhelp.dyndns.info/networking/netcons1.html

  • I need a MacBook experts, master to help me!!! I just tried the craziest move on my mac! My dad's gonna kill me if he finds out!!!

    I need a MacBook experts, master to help me!!! I just tried the craziest series of moves on my mac.
    Begun when the mac hung for nearly an hour. I held the power key to force a shut off.
    This made me think of erasing some things on my hard drive. I used cmd r for disk utility and begun erasing volumes.
    Then, I thought instead, why not just reinstall OSX since nothing I wanted was on it.
    I tried to reinstall OSX but this time it loaded then suddenly said, an error occurred.
    I Went back to disk utility and cleared stuff I can't even remember.
    Another unbelievable thing happened. The disk utility actually hung for a good ten minutes! i went and forced a shut off again.
    Now, whenever I turn the mac on, a flashing folder appears.
    at this point, I usually turn to the net for answers.
    Greatest thing is, every cmd something I try doesn't even trigger a reaction. Only cmd opt showed my mouse cursor.
    i Do not have the original OSX install disk for my mac. Any geniuses got any clues???

  • Want to upgrade to Infinity but need master socket...

    Our master socket is under the stairs, which will mean that it will soon be at the back of a cupboard so we need it moved so that it is in the living room where our router is.  We have had problems for several months now with our Hub 3 constantly dropping the internet connection with BT and am hoping that once socket is moved, upgrading will be a worthwhile option.   We have been all round the website and can't find out if/how we can get somebody out to do this. 

    Hi Katzz,
    Thanks for posting. If you want to move the master socket it's called an internal shift which carries a charge of £130. You might want to consider powerline adaptors as an alternative. Let me know what you think.

  • DO I need to connect to my Master Socket?

    In short, my question is ... does my home hub have to be connected to the master phone socket?
    I am looking to take on BT phone, broadband and TV package but my master socket is in my kitchen.  The house is 10 years old and from that master socket the builder installed other BT phone points throughout the house.  Can I have the home hub connected to my livingroom socket which is obviously not the master socket but a "spur" from the master socket?
    I don't fancy having the hub in my kitchen.
    Thanks.

    You can have the master socket moved - so Openreach engineer will do some "messing about" with your cabling and make a different socket your master.
    Or you can have a data cable run from the existing master socket to a more suitable location - this is a handy option if you're unsure of the quality of your internal wiring.

  • New infinity install with a master socket move - w...

    As I understand it, Infinity requires a modem plugged in directly to the master socket & a power point adjacent also. This is of no use to me at all & I would like the master socket moved. Now, from what I read here, BT will do this "officially" for £130, or on an infinity install, the openreach engineer *might/should* do it if it is straightforward.
    I plan to run cat 5e cable from the master socket location, up a cable run we have in the property to the new location where I want the master socket to be located, leaving both ends unconnected. Then it should be simple enough for the engineer to connect at each end and then carry on working from the new master socket location. Maybe they could even use the second pair in the cat 5e to reconnect the original set of phone sockets we have around the house that are currently connected from the existing master socket.
    Could someone advise please...
    1. Is cat 5e cable the correct cable to use?
    2. Does my plan sound viable? Is it technically correct?
    3. Could the second pair in the cat 5e be used in the way I have described? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the reply & welcome Michael.
    Some subsidiary questions then please.
    1. Should I run a different sort of cable other than 5e? If so, what would be the correct type?
    2. Your very helpful diagram suggests that BT would surface run up to 30m from the Master Socket to the modem. My cable run would be much less than this. Would I be better to run cable myself (in my cable run) to be used as the connection from the master socket to the modem? If so, what sort of cable should it be please & does it need to have a connecting plug on the end of it (where it plugs into the master socket) or will the OpenReach engineer fit this him/herself. I guess if they surface run cable they will be able to attach the plugs on the end of the cable. What sort of connection is it?
    Thanks for you time - and for anyone else's who replies.
    I should also say I am not bothered if the Master Socket is moved, AS LONG as the modem & router (home hub) are NOT located adjacent to the current position of the Master Socket. I estimate the direct cable run required if I run the cable will be no,more than 15 metres.

  • How to connect Master socket and extension to fibr...

    I have just had my fttp service enabled.
    I watched the online video on how to connect my phone, and it says that if you don't have the special socket that allows you to switch from copper to fibre, you should just connect the phne to the modem.
    I don't have the socket, just a normal phone socket right next to the modem.
    How do I connect my extensions? Can I just connect my modem to the socket and go from there, or do I need to do anything else?
    Sorry folks, I know very little about this stuff! 

    There is a guide here.
    http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/37138/related/1
    My guess is that you would have to disconnect your extension wiring from the old master socket, and plug it into the Tel 1 socket via a phone splitter, if you need a phone near the fibre modem.

  • Where's my master socket?

    Was delighted to find yesterday, on a random check of the BT site, that we've been fitted for Inifinity. First thing this morning I booked us in for the upgrade.
    I know that the equipment will need to be connected to the master socket, so I'm trying to work out which one that is. Is there any way of telling externally? We live in a three-storey house, and there are sockets in at least three different rooms on the ground and first floor (and I'm not sure there's not more, we have three in the living room at various points...)
    Anyway, at present we have the home hub running in the living room (1st floor) so that I can run an Ethernet cable to my Xbox. I do have a wireless adapter, so if I need to move the equipment down to the kitchen (ground floor) it's no big deal, but I'm just wondering which one it'll be, especially as my wife's office is in the top floor and I don't think she'll be impressed if she ends up with a worse signal for her work computer just so I can play games that bit faster

    Hi
       There are a couple of different types of master sockets here is a link to help you identify which one you have http://www.thinkbroadband.com/tools/phone-socket-comparison.html  . Hope that works for you.
    Edit: I guess it may be the NTE5 but you could also have the old style ADSL V1 dual socket (I know I had the adsl one for many years before I upgraded to Infinity)  
    Also the OR engineer can convert most sockets to a master socket so I guess you can choose were you want it to go.  
    Hope this information is useful to you.
    Edit :  Also if you follow the BT line from outside and see where on the outside wall it goes into your house there's a good chance you could match it to the socket on that wall maybe. 

  • Is it possible to re-locate my master socket for i...

    I want to get BT infinity in my home but there are no power sockets near my master socket.
    My question is: Will it be possible to re-locate my master phone socket to upstairs near where my current router is and where there is power sockets?

    Common misconception.
    You do not need power sockets next to your master socket.
    They will route a new Cat5 cable from the master socket upto 30metres away. Wherever you want your router is were you need power points.
    They can convert an existing extension into the master socket but that will all depend on the quality of the extension.
    The BT engineer that fits the extensions are VERY helpful and will suggest the best route for your connection.
    On the installation date, just ask, and you will usually get.

  • Two lines in use, one master socket that is bypass...

    I work at an organisation that has a subscription for two lines. One line is used for the main phone system of the business and the other is used for two purposes: 1. There is a payphone for guests on it; 2. The business internet connection comes through it (DSL). The internet connection is noticably slower than it should be and often drops out, so I've had a look at the wiring of the phone lines.
    Both lines come into the building from the pole through a single 4-core black drop-cable, as is quite normal I think. This cable comes into the back of an NTE5 master socket. The wire colours are Green, White, Orange and Black. None of these connect to any part of the master socket - neither the main panel, nor the removable front plate. Instead, they are all connected with the little translucent crimp-type things to the wires of the internal "extension" cables. My first quesion is, is this correct? I think it's incorrect, especially as one pair of wires immediately gets split off to 2 extensions, as I'll now describe...
    From the master socket there are two "extension" cables. One goes directly to what I think is a normal extension socket (smaller than an NTE5, but it does have some kind of inductor or capacitor, and it looks modern). This socket's pins 2 and 5 are wired directly from the orange and white wires respectively in the drop wire. To this socket, the ADSL modem is connected and nothing else.
    The other extension cable goes off somewhere else. However, it must be carrying two phone lines - because the payphone must come off it (which shares the line with the modem), as must the main phone system. It is a 6-core round white cable. Its Orange and White/orange wires are connected to White and Orange in the drop cable (i.e. the same pair that goes to the modem extension) and its Green and White/green wires are connected to Green and Black in the drop-cable. I haven't been able to trace this cable yet, but all I know is that it must end up splitting off to the pay phone and the main phone system, because they are separate lines.
    So, is the incoming line not terminated correctly, in that it doesn't connect at all to the master socket and the one pair of wires immediately splits off to two extensions? Could this be causing the internet connection problems?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated - preferably from one of you former BT men ;-) I'm trained in electronics myself, so answer technically if you want.

    Yes, the payphone has a filter.
    Yes I agree that the line the main phone system comes off may not need a master socket for whatever reason (i.e. it may have its own circuitry).
    But as for the broadband line - it splits off to the payphone extension and to the modem extension as soon as it leaves the drop wire, which seems wrong to me. As far as I understand, one of the purposes of the master socket is to be able to detach the front plate in order to isolate the consumer's extensions from BT's line; but with the extensions being hard-wired in, that's imposisble. And with no master socket, I assume that whatever circuitry is normally in a master socket isn't present on the line. Does this matter? Is it just surge protection, or is there some kind of filtering as well? We will of course contact BT about this, but I'd like to know first whether there really is something wrong.
