Unconnected RJ45 wall sockets to the DPI enclosure?
Solved

Good evening,
A few days ago, I realized that the rooms in my apartment are equipped with RJ45 wall sockets (see photo) and I quickly found out by trying to connect a computer to one of these sockets via Ethernet cable that it did not detect my ADSL network. By doing some research, I understood (I think?) that I actually needed to connect my ADSL box to the DPI box located at the entrance of my apartment.
However, unlike the various tutorials showing the connections, I noticed that my box only has a "Test" telephone jack and when unscrewing the cover, there is no trace of RJ45 sockets that could be linked to the sockets in the living room and the two bedrooms (see photo). I thought that perhaps the test jack would be enough to connect the whole apartment through hidden connections, but no network is available with the wall sockets whether connected to a computer in one room or a TV in another.

My questions are therefore: is it normal for the absence of these RJ45 cables in the DPI box, knowing that there are indeed RJ45 wall sockets installed in the rooms of the apartment?
If yes: what do you recommend to have an Ethernet network everywhere with this configuration?
If no: do you think it is possible to have them installed without changing the box?
Additional info: my SFR ADSL box works very well with the connection to the test jack, no problems with the Wi-Fi network, so the test jack is functioning properly.
Please feel free to ask if you need more information.
Thank you in advance and have a wonderful evening!

Hello,
Your installation is only designed to provide telephony/ADSL through the wall outlets. You can place your box in any room, but you cannot transmit Ethernet.
We can see that the orange/yellow wires from all the cables go into the DTI, but the other 6 wires from each cable are not connected.
To provide Ethernet, you would need to install a female RJ45 socket at the end of each cable corresponding to the wall outlets, which would be mounted on the rail next to the DTI, and rewire the wall outlets.
Then you can connect Ethernet cords from the box outputs to the female RJ45 sockets on the rail to transmit Ethernet to the rooms.

Hello,
the DTI is for the ADSL connection only. If you want to move the box to a different room, it's possible to connect an RJ45 socket to the DTI and plug the box into this RJ45 socket (you'll need to check how the RJ45 sockets are wired)
If it's internet that you want to pass through the RJ45 sockets, they need to be connected to the box, and the box must be connected to the DTI, with a patch panel for the sockets
You can see what needs to be done on many posts on the forum > https://forums.commentcamarche.net/forum/cablage-282
Here are a few of them:

In any case, you'll need to open up, and probably redo the wiring of the RJ45 sockets (not necessarily replacing the sockets) which I think are only meant for ADSL.
