BSNL DataOne Modem Power Supply - HELP

[HarishKP]

Hi,I am from Kerala. I am planning to go for DataOne on my existing BSNL Land line connection. I am living in a area where frequent power failure occurs. Is the DSL modem supplied by BSNL requires external power supply? If yes then, is there any provision for battery backup for the modem so that I can use my Phone during power failure ? Otherwise I will have to go for a separate line for DataOne and it is very difficult to get a new connection right now in my area.Harish.

Your phone will work normally in power failure period as you used to.

Modem requires power supply. You can connect the modem to the UPS and it will provide backup. Buy a reliable UPS such as APC.

@skfg...he's asking about the modem dude...not the phone and yes, u do need external power supply for the modem...and as nandu already said, a UPS should serve ur needs...enjoy!!!!

HiLet me make clear what I asked. I learned that the DataOne enabled BSNL Land line couldn’t be directly connected to my existing phone. Instead the DataOne line should connect to the modem and then connect to the phone to theRJ11 port on the modem. Now my doubt is - if no electric power is available to the modem, can I use my phone to make or receive calls?I have a 500va UPS for my PC it is capable of 30 minutes backup.Since the phone is very important to me, I can't sacrifice the phone calls due to modem failure

Some ppl are here and in the other forum who are always eager to who will help first. So sometimes they failed to understand the quaries properly. Whenever I saw the query, I understood that the poster have not sufficient knowledge about the adsl conection, i.e. where & where the phone line goes, what about splitter etc etc. So I replied correctly in one sentence.

i think the dataone "enabled" line should connect to a splitter....? isnt it

Phone line ---> Splitter ---> Phone ......................... | ......................... |--------> ModemThats the way airtel does it, dont see any reason it wont be the same with BSNL. The splitter was provided free of charge.And in the above setup, your phone will not be affected by power failiure.

Is the Modem supplied by BSNL has a built-in splitter ? Any one knows the make and model of the BSNL supplied modem ?

i have huawai mt880 modem the layout is same the phone line to splitter and from splitter to phone and another to modem.

hi harish,Do take Dataone Connection. Your phone will never be dependent on power. You will understand it better when it is installed.cheers

There is an illustration of how dataone one is installed left by out ol' mate agnivo try searching for that and u will understand the setup in a second

Splitter is given by BSNL with their modem and its a sperate unit.
The phone runs even when there is power failure uninterrupted as was 1st said by Skfg.
BSNL gives Huawai and UTStar modems. Both are ok as per reports by users till now.
D-Link is also available in the market if u buy from ur PC vendor.
The Line ( BSNL ) goes into the splitter ( in Line In ). Then a phone is connected to splitter ( Phone Out ). Exit from ADSL point on splitter goes to modem. From the modem the RJ cable goes into the PC or Laptop or Switch or Router as the case may be with you.

The BSNL connection is not bad though some private ISPs may sound more attractive to you if r rready to settle for lower speed but get unlimited d/ls.
