Connect landline telephone via LAN

Hello everyone

I have a few questions:

1: If the router is in the basement and you have a LAN socket in every room, could you connect an analog telephone there? If so, how? Simply connect via LAN and then connect it to one of the 4 slots in the router’s fuse box or does it have to go into the ATA port?

2: If I connect it directly to the analogue router, do I have to connect it to one of the 2 ports, not with the LAN but with the telephone cable?

Hi,

yes, it works in principle. Basically, analogue telephones belong to the analogue telephone port of the IB.

This can also be done via network cabling, so you simply have to make sure that the line from the analog port of the router is connected directly to the LAN port in the corresponding room. Don’t go through a switch! -> So a 1:1 connection from the room connection to the router.

If you want to connect old analog phones to a remote location via LAN cable, the only sensible way is the one already described by @kaetho.

However, if it is a new installation and the DECT of the Internet box in the basement is simply not enough for the apartment, then it is recommended not to use analogue telephones but rather to use modern digital Gigaset telephones including an additional Go station.

With the Gigaset Go Box 100 you then have a separate DECT base station, which you can position centrally in the apartment and connect via LAN cable

You can connect directly to the Internet box in the basement via the normal Ethernet using the internal or external SIP credentials.
