Network

Networks can be a little complcated if you didn’t study this aspect of housing. Since all buildings have been renovated, or built from the ground up, all of the network features were taken into consideration. This will include RJ45 for network, coaxial for television, and why there are no RJ11 jacks.

First, let’s address the RJ11 jacks. Simply put, Verizon is no longer support new customers, or moving customers with POTS? system. Since they will no longer support this feature, there is no need to building out and waste infrastructure over. One could assume that they could have been used for the intercom system, but this is very limited in capability, so it still does not make any send to run telephone line throughout the building or apartments. To solve this, every apartment will have a Grandsteram WP810 which his a wifi? phone. This phone will support 2 incoming SIP? accounts, and one outgoing SIP account. If you want home phone services, you would need to acquire a SIP account, and request a house call so you can install the settings on the phone. When you leave, your settings will be removed from the phone. This will allow you to have one phone for the intercom, and SIP phone services.

next is television. Simply put, there is no coaxial option. If you wish to watch OTA? television, you would need an OTA DVR? such as Tablo. The antenna will plug into the Tablo, and the Tablo will plug into an ethernet jack. The Tablo is now connected to your home network. You would be able to use any smartTV platform to watch live and recorded television.

Last is networking. All network lines will run from your jack to the communications room in the basement. Each jack will have na 8 digit number. This number is essential if you wished to have POE, or find a problem with a particular jack. This will be minimal for your needs. The TV Wall will have 5 ethernet jacks. The Office will have 3 jacks, and all other appropriate walls will have 2 jacks. Keep in mind that the WP810 is a wifi phone, and does not need POE?.
