Common questions
Questions worth answering before the work starts.
Can every POTS line be replaced with VoIP?
No. Fax, alarm, elevator, emergency, modem, and regulated applications may have signaling, supervision, power, monitoring, or code requirements that ordinary VoIP does not meet.
What is POTS-in-a-box?
It is a cellular or IP-based device that emulates an analog telephone line. Suitability depends on the connected equipment and its operational and regulatory requirements.
Can you trace a line with no labels?
Usually. Access to the demarcation, blocks, jacks, connected equipment, and safe testing windows makes identification faster and more reliable.
