If you don't figure something out, let me know. We have the tools to figure 
that stuff out, so I could send someone over.

Subject: [AFMUG] troubleshooting telco pairs 



Anybody remember your POTS troubleshooting skills? 

I’m trying to get an alarm system to work from a VoIP ATA over about 1000 feet 
of convoluted wiring at a farm, a combination of overhead and buried. I get 
tone on my tone tracer (Tempo brand) but 0 VDC on a buttset or voltmeter. It’s 
too far for my Fluke cable tester which is meant for data cables. 

I suspect one wire in the pair is open, but I don’t know how to check this with 
just a tone tracer. 

The alarm system just calls and plays a recorded voice announcement, so the 
VoIP part shouldn’t be tricky at all, not like FAX machines or alarms that use 
modems. But it can’t even seize the line and call out.
