subscriber box is to be located? My guess is it would be located where
the POTS fan-out box now resides (the laundry room). Also, does the converter box supply a dial tone? Thanks for your time and comment. Sincerely,
Yes, it will probably be put where your phone wiring currently comes
in. At our house that's in the basement. The converter is essentially
a miniature transistorized CO that provides dial tone and ring current,
and interfaces your analog phones to the FIOS network. Our FIOS box
supports pulse dialing so our old Western Electric rotary phones work
fine with it, but it's a few years old now and I don't know if the newer units still have this feature.
The main downside is that you'll lose phone service in a power outage long enough to exhaust your local backup battery. With the copper lines power
was supplied by the CO.
