Freebox server installation in the garage

Question

Hello,  I need help (so I'm calling on experts!) to find out how to connect my Freebox (server part) to my DTI box.  My current setup is as follows: - my server box and my video box are in the living room - my server box is connected with an RJ11 cable (I think) to an RJ45 socket to get the xDSL connection - my video box is connected to my server box with an RJ45 cable  What I want: - to move my server box to the garage - to connect the server box directly to the DTI box to get the xDSL connection of which there are 2 photos:  - photo of the box:   - photo of the xDSLFilter:  - to connect the RJ45 socket of the DTI box (that leads to the living room) to one of the RJ45 sockets of the server (potentially in the future connect all the sockets to serve all the rooms, but that's for later) - to keep my video box in the living room and connect it via RJ45  How should I cable the xDSL connection between the DTI box and the Freebox server? I see there is an xDSLFilter; I'm not really sure what to connect where? Should I keep my RJ11 cable currently in the living room and connect it directly to the "MODEM" socket on the xDSLFilter? That's what I was thinking, but I'm not sure about anything…?  Thank you for your help!!

Hi, Yes, the modem socket is the right one for the RJ11 from the box, or the test socket, because master filters are useless today in full unbundling. However, one must not confuse the words DTI and the 5 patch panels; these are different circuits and functions. -- and ... There you go!

Hi, thanks for your reply! Indeed, I just tested it, the Freebox displays the time, it's all good, I have internet via WiFi and RJ45 if I connect directly to the Freebox. However, I tried to connect my player in the living room and it doesn't work, no network LED is flashing and the player indicates to check if the network cable is properly connected. My setup is simple, I ran an RJ45 cable between my Freebox server and the RJ45 port that was used to bring ADSL to the living room "before". What should I do to get my player working, please?  In fact, I wonder if all the wires in my RJ45 are properly connected, I see a lot of "loose" wires around the sockets on the DTI, I don't know if that's normal.

Arf, I hadn't looked closely... Yes, in fact, you were installed by a clueless electrician who only wired 2 pairs out of the 4 of the cable even though there are indeed 8 positions on the socket. Certainly, at the time it might not have been mandatory, but a minimum level of professional awareness led many to fully wire the RJ45 sockets anyway, not yours, tough luck. Yes, you need to redo the wiring, not from the DTI (you're digging a hole), but from the patch panel and wall sockets as follows:   -- and... Voili Voilou Voila!

Thank you very much for your valuable help! So there are several things I didn't understand in your sentence: "yes, you need to redo the wiring, not the DTI (you're digging yourself into a hole), but the patch panel and the wall sockets as follows:"  "not the DTI (you're digging yourself into a hole)": why am I digging myself into a hole, did I miss something there? :) "but the patch panel": are you talking about the 5 ports that are in the DTI box, where we see wires wrapped around the cables? "and the wall sockets": do I need to go into each room (living room, bedrooms) to dismantle the RJ45 socket and rewire it as well?  If that's the case, I'm in trouble, I have no skills in this area, do you think I can ask an electrician or not?  Oh no, this is a mess :(

ahhh ok thanks for the nuances, I was completely off :) now it's much clearer, I understand better what needs to be done but I don't have the right tools and I don't think I'm very careful, I think I will call a pro, too bad for me I'll have to pay, I hope it won't be too expensive :) in any case, a big thank you to you, without whom I would never have understood anything... the idea behind all this was to install fiber optic but I wanted to see if it would work with classic ADSL first, verdict: no :)
