NBN have 15 pages of "Optional Battery Backup Informed Consent Guidelines": http://www.nbnco.com.au/content/dam/nbnco/documents/fibre-premises-equipment-obb-informed-consent-guidelines-checklist-23-october-2013.pdf The purpose of these guidelines appear to be for NBN to save money by not installing battery backup and then blame the customer for not consenting to have it installed. Where installed, the system uses a 12V 7 Ah Sealed Lead Acid Battery (same as I have in my UPS). These batteries are relatively cheap and readily available: http://www.nbnco.com.au/connect-home-or-business/already-connected/nbn-equipment/battery-back-up-service-information.html For the phone to work, as well as this battery you need a line powered old fashioned phone, or a cordless phone which has a backup battery in the base station (a few do), or a UPS. -- Tom Worthington FACS CP, TomW Communications Pty Ltd. t: 0419496150 The Higher Education Whisperer http://blog.highereducationwhisperer.com/ PO Box 13, Belconnen ACT 2617, Australia http://www.tomw.net.au Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation Adjunct Senior Lecturer, Research School of Computer Science, Australian National University http://cs.anu.edu.au/courses/COMP7310/ _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
