Why?
If you're on Orcon Genius you are no longer using the phone network in the traditional manner. Your phone calls are now being put through the internet. This means that your phone must be connected to the the rest of the world via the Ocron Genius Base Unit (the modem) rather than your normal telephone jackpoints.
You will need an RJ12 double adaptor - this may be called a modular phone double adaptor in some cases.
If you are unable to find one of these you can use a BT double adaptor in conjunction with a BT-RJ12 adaptor. This will give you 2 BT jackpoints (normal telephone jackpoints) from your Orcon Genius Base Unit (modem). It won't look that pretty but it should work.
If you are connecting an old phone that connects directly to normal telephone jackpoints you may require a BT-RJ12 adapator. Click here to learn more
Given that your phone only uses 2 wires.... an RJ11 splitter would be entirely suitable (and infinitely easier to find).
ReplyDeleteThese if you want a bit of room behind your router (need 3 cables).
