Thats funny, i bought 3 different brands of standard 6 line extensions,and none worked...only the coupler did.

That's what i'm using, a seperate 6 line telephone coupler and seperate 6 line standard telephone extensions, all bought from a local dollar store. Works for me!

I remember now that i had just tried it on the remote display, not on the power bars.

Don't know, but I will go back to the dollar store in the morning and look at the packaging. I threw mine out. Will post back tomorrow and let you know what it says.

AquaCan,

will i see you in september (Macna)?

Regarding extensions:
This is a 6pole 1:1 extension cable with western plugs (RJ12).
Keep in mind they should not be too long. I am not familiar with the unit "feet" but talking about meters the cable should not exceed about 12m.
Maybe longer distances can be achieved; that must be tested.
In any case make sure there is some distance between the extension cable and sources of interferences, a long cable is similar to an antenna.

50 feet is about 15.5 meters so attenuation could be a problem. The signal probably starts getting weaker well before 12 meters but its still just strong enough to work.

Matthias, I will on vacation in Aruba at the same time the Macna is on in September. And yes, I am still fighting with the WLAN connection.

SuperFudge,
What I am using is 6 wire modular line extension. It looks just like a regular telephone extension jack with a slightly wider wire but the difference is that it has 6 conductors as opposed to the two or three that telephones use for extensions. If you look at the clear jacks you can see this.

Hi guys,

Not been around much since emigrating over to Ottawa from the UK, but am nearly up and running.

I will have sponsorship with canreef in the next month so my ID will be changing.

Until then any support questions you may have please drop me a line just as before.

Matthias - Macna is a no show for me, too much to do and too soon, but still up for that beer you owe me in niagra afterwards!!!!

Best wishes
Michael
