Switching from ADSL(TPG) to NBN(TangerineTelecom - HFC) Saga - DIY'er approach

A simple process of switching between ISP's or RSP's became a great learning process (in stages)

• Not in our list
• Applying for Tangerine NBN connection
• how the process of connecting to NBN unfolded(email and SMS)
• How the DOCSIS cable modem was connected
• Video of cable modem booting up
• Deciding on VoIP provider and Land line phone number porting from TPG to Australian phone company
• How the process unfolded(Email and SMS)
• Connecting Fritzbox to Arris cable modem
• Process of connecting Fritzbox to NBN with credential provided
• Hiccups while connecting to Arris
• Internet disconnected Fritzbox  (LED red ) - how it was solved
• Disconnecting from TPG (after phone no. porting and NBN Internet connection active @ AESthesia)

• Wired alarm system

DAS Networx NX-16 Direct Alarm

• Disabling Telephone line cut alarm when disconnected

How to program NX-16 alarm system - (In future)this system will be connected using konnected to be used in home automation process - so comprehending this system is necessary.

Programming the NX-16 

a) Enter the program mode eg:- *8

b) Enter the installer/Program code eg:- 1234

c) Select the module/device to program eg:- 0#

d) Enter Feature number eg:- 16#

Numerical Data

Numeric equivalent of these LED's are as follows

Sample

        *8

1234

0#

1#

This Feature contains "Go to program code".

How to disable Telephone line cut siren

*8

1234

0#

22#

Disable the 1 option of 1 segment

• Disabling back to base reporting

        *8

1234

0#

4#

If there is back to base reporting there would be a phone no. in either Feature 4, Feature 7, Feature 8

In my case Feature 4 had 1300300782 number which is what is logged in TPG Display charges 

Make Values in each segment 0

+

Feature 10 - Dial Attempts

Make the default value to 0

• Testing out the process by disconnecting the RJ11 from alarm system 

• Buying NBN compatible router/modem

It was really hard to find one which wasn't CCP sponsored

• Decided on Fritzbox 7590 router/modem

• Deciding on the 50Mbps RSP provider with optional VoIP(wanted to go with different VoIP provider) and 0 setup fee

- Draft the process of connecting Fritzbox to NBN with credential provided 

- Hiccups while connecting to Arris 

- Internet disconnected Fritzbox  (LED red ), which for the time being was enabled using TP-link, then

solved the issue with Fritzbox. How it was resolved?

• Disconnecting from TPG (after phone no. porting and NBN Internet connection active @ AESthesia)(include video recording)

- Process involved in disconnection

- Amt charged when disconnected

How Tangerine NBN 50Mbps is performing until now? See for your self

Status in(log in your twitter account to view) https://twitter.com/hashtag/tangerinetelecom

Had consistently touched +40Mbps during peak hours.(Observed once or twice slow speed(< 20Mbps).. that's no big deal, for me/us).. No dropouts

What Keyword in tweets imply?

Tangerine FB - Speed measured using Fritzbox

Tangerine TP-link - speed measured using TP-link

Will be testing out speed for 6 months
