Verizon box in my furnace room is beeping, how to make it stop

I do not have Verizon Fios for my cable etc. but the previous tenant did.  In the mechanical room on the patio is a Verizon box that looks like the pictures below.  It has lots of lights on it and they are mostly green but one labeled FAIL is blinking red and the box beeps about every five minutes (I think, I haven't timed it).  This has been going on for months now.  I tried calling Verizon but (of course) didn't have any success there.  Maybe it's because I started out with "I don't have an account with you, but...." Once they sort of understood what I was trying to explain they wanted to transfer me to another department (even though I called the number printed on the box) and of course that's when I got cut off.  I don't want to try again....I just want to make the beeping stop, hopefully without possibly cutting off the service to other units in the building.  Anyone got any suggestions?  (In the picture the FAIL red light is not on but that is only because it blinks and was off when I snapped the picture)

Hi bethelonia,
While I'm not an expert in all things Verizon, I believe that each apartment unit should have its own ONT (that's the name of the box in the picture). When I look at your pictures, I notice that this does not appear to be a properly functioning box. More specifically, it appears that this box is not communicating with the network. This would lead me to believe that it is indeed a non-functioning box that has been left there by the previous tenant. It would probably be fine if you pop open the hinged cover to the upper part of the box (see pull tab off to the left side beneath the buttons and lights), unplug the battery wires from the unit, close the cover and unplug the box. This should shut the box completely off and stop it from beeping.

  • Two FIOS boxes in the same room, remote issues

    I have two cable boxes in my living room to enjoy the football season.  my only problem is that all fios boxes have the saem remote settings. 
    Does any one know a way to get the two boxes working separately for under 100 bucks?

    I really doubt that the original poster is monitoring this discussion any more, so I will answer your question. Yes you can have as many boxes as there are inputs on the TV. Each box can output in most of the input formats of any TV. Rf output is not available on some units. For example, my rec room TV has 2 HDMI, 1 component, and 3 composite video inputs. I could have 6 boxes attached, at least. One more, if I had a cable box with an RF output.
    Now my question: Why would you do that?
    I once used two DVRs on one TV because I wanted to record more than 2 channels at once and have them available to that TV. If all you want is a way to swap channels quickly, buy a remote with programmable macro buttons and program them to the channels you will be watching. you can buy such a remote for under $20. Or if you only need two channels, just use the Back button with one STB to toggle back and forth.

  • Can you add an external DVR if your using a Verizon box without the DVR built in.

    Can you add an external DVR if your using a Verizon box without the DVR built in?
    Or you can only add an external DVR ir you Verizon box has the DVR build in?
    Thanks

    You can connect an external DVR to the verizon equipment, but it will be limited as far as what it can do. You will not have the full functionality as you would by using a Verizon DVR. To get more information as far as what will and will not work, please contact the tech support group of the external DVR company.

  • Digital Signature Text is too big, how to make it take up less room?

If so, can someone please supply the steps?

    hi Axl....
    I've got tiger in ok, running fine - bought family pack and have done 3 installs without problem, so that's the good news ....
    I did a major reshuffle and toss-out of files before I installed - bought 80gb mobile external hard drive - and did install with 5+gb free, so after it had about 3gb free, then all of a sudden I went down to less than 1gb
    I've been in a hunt for more files to throw out (a nice find were the old ipod updaters that were eating 500mb) ....
    If I want to throw out most of the language files (for instance) ... where are they ? (I did search for danois and found nothing, so .... buried ?)
    any other suggestions for things to throw away .... I've pretty much eliminated 90% of all things classic, for instance ....
    and - do you have ideas for why space seems to disappear so fast .... I'm not doing anything special, but wham, 2gb flies away to ???
    thanks

  • How to make multi-box fields for name or address in a PDF form to be filled in?

    I would like to know how to make fields for name and address in a PDF form.
    I am now using Acrobat 8 Pro on Windows Vista. I have downloaded a form in the format of a PDF file. Basically it is just a file holding images of pages of the document, and there are no fields for me to type something on it using computer. This form will be used frequently by me, but I don't want to print it out and fill it in every time by hand. I want to fill it in in the computer and print copies of it when needed. The output will then be much more neat and tidy.
    I have seen PDF forms with blanks for typing name and address, which means the form can be filled in on the computer before printing. They are special, as these blanks allow users to type name and address with every character occupying a box in the field, which consists of ten boxes or so. These are not ordinary textfields. I want to make similar inputting field as well.
    Does anyone knows something about making these input fields with each character using 1 little box in the multi-box field? Any ideas are appreciated.

    Does anyone knows something about making these input fields with each
    character using 1 little box in the multi-box field?
    Use text fields with the comb of x characters feature.

  • What is wrong with the Verizon Wireless network in the Florida panhandle.  Can't make or receive calls.  This is bad for business owners who rely on phones.

    It's amazing, I can call Verizon on my cell phone but nobody else how aggivating> They said this only effects prepaid phones nation wide. They are working on restoring service, said it would take around an hour to get things working again.

        Having service issues are no fun Pookstar1969. I can understand how frustrating this is. I can check for any issues in the area. Whats your zipcode and phone type? Are you having issues with prepaid or postpaid service? I look forward to hearing from you.

  • I have a 4 gen Time Caps. and a 2nd Gen Airport Extreme I would like to extend my TC network to use the Extreme for the purpose of having internet available to my TV box wired.  Is this possible and how to I get them to work together?

    How can I get my Time Cap (TC 4 gen) to recognise my 2gen Airport Extreem (AE)
    Frank

    Thanks for the info, this really helps.
    Power up the AirPort Extreme for a few minutes, then hold in the reset button on the back of the Extreme for 10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
    It might be possible to use wireless to configure the Extreme, but I recommend using a wired connection. Temporarily, connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Extreme.
    Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear. Just below that, click on  AirPort Extreme.
    The illustration below shows an AirPort Express. You will see AirPort Extreme on your screen.
    AirPort Setup will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the network, then announce that the Extreme will be configured to extend the Time Capsule network.
    Enter a device name that you want to use for the Extreme and click Next
    Wait a minute while AirPort Setup configures things for you. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
    You can disconnect the Ethernet cable that you used for the set up now. Things should be working. The Extreme is providing additional wireless coverage the the Ethernet ports are enabled. You can connect to any port that you want since they all operate the same in this type of setup.

  • How to make a button appear boxed in when clicked

    For my Prototyping class I have to make an interactive fast food ordering system. I have majority of frames made I just need to add the interactive part to it. I am using AS2 in Flash CS3. I have the picture and the text grouped and are classified as a button. I want to make it so that when the picture or text is clicked it will make a black box appear around it, making it 'selected'. I've tried to add an Event Listener but couldn't figure out how to make the box appear on it. Any suggestions?
    These pictures are basically what I'm trying to accomplish.
    Keep in mind, I'm a Flash newbie, I have a probably 3 hours experience with Flash.
    But I do have knowledge of basic Java commands, so I can understand code.
    Thanks,

    Onw way would be to create the buttons as movieclips so that when they are selected you move the movieclip's timeline to a rame that shows the rectangle around it.  Another way would be to have the movieclips as separate objects that you make appears when its associated button is clicked.  There are likelynumerous other possibilities.

  • When I open iMovie, the app searches for missing iPhoto files.  These are files I deleted.  I have to close about 30 dialog boxes before I can start using iMovie.  How do I make this stop?

    When I open iMovie (09), the app searches for missing iPhoto files.  These are files I deleted.  I have to close about 30 dialog boxes before I can start using iMovie.  How do I make this stop?

    So it seems the issue is when iMovie is wanting to creat thumbnails, if I ask it to ignore then it's fine but if not it hangs up searching for the video file.
