Combined with the innovative design of the Home Director solution, the average home buyer is now able, for the first time, to purchase a home networking system that is customizable for their needs – yet does not require a special hardware configuration. Yes its a cable modem, and its the Time Warner techs that rewired the box to add that amplifier that you see in the pics. All connections to the house run to that box then distibuted out to the rest of the house.
In order to log this waymark in this category, you must be able to provide proof of your visit. Please post a picture of yourself or your GPSr in front some identifiable feature or point of interest either in the museum, or on the museum grounds. Also you might to start labeling cables so you know where the cable services.. You're gonna have cable boxes at each TV -- no way around that.
IBM touts Home Director
Presently, IBM has authorized integrators across the country and is in the process of broadening this base. In my earlier post I stated that the yellow cables are telephone and the blue ones are ethernet. When I stated that the 'accessories' do not exist anymore I was referring to network modules etc. that they originally offered and had on their site, which don't exist anymore.
It's the first effort of its kind by a major technology company to deliver a complete home network controlled from a PC. Executioner's House in Brandýs nad Labem, a rare example of preserved Renaissance commoner' house from the half of the 16th century, houses a small museum devoted to history of crime, torture and death penalty in the region. Mystic, no disrespect accepted LOL, I didn't wire it, it simply came with the house with no documentation what so ever, as hard as that is to believe.

In my earlier post I stated that the yellow cables are telephone and the blue ones are ethernet. "In developing Home Director, we looked at how traditional home systems were being installed and identified the key aspects that deliver the greatest benefits to home owners," said Mary Walker, General Manager of IBM Home Networking. Routers have 5 ports -- four of them are together and one of them is by itself.
If yuou have basic or expanded basic only, then boxes are needed. If you have cable/telephone you are taking advantage of everything you have. Looks as though your local cable guy has made some changes to the install and a seperate 4 way splitter feeding things. Looking at your panel, its just a structured panel, with a video amplifier, punched down telephone.
IBM INTRODUCES ITS HOME NETWORKING PRODUCT
So basically, to you guys its a standard structured wiring bnox, but to hit all the dead ends I keep hitting with this thing is really frustrating. For now I'd like to imropove ethernet connection points around the house, inactive points despite numerous outlets. What you need to understand is how many cables are at each location, are there two colors? Open up a telephone jack or network jack and see if there are similar colors, ie. NO one makes a good router for the structured wiring cabinets, I always use 3rd party products for networking. As for the cable splitters in there, they most likely don't pass high enough frequencys for alot of HD, thats why that 3 way splitter is in there to break off the cables that are feeding HD boxes.
Additionally, the PC maker has cut prices on flat-panel displayswith its high-end consumer systems, bringing the fancy displays into the consumer price range for the first time.
Category 5 twisted pair and Series 6 coaxial cables connected to it. The system is powered by an MMX class IBM processor, Schmidt said, and runs on a Windows-based operating system. "It uses the Home Director software, which we view to be the first operating system for the home," Schmidt said. "It only uses about 25 percent of the dedicated processor, so there is a great capacity to upgrade." Just follow the steps outlined in my previous post and you should have internet all over the place.
For now I'd like to imropove ethernet connection points around the house, inactive points despite numerous outlets. Don't know if this entails adding modem and router or just one of the two to the home director. Just want to do what it was designed to do basically, cable/video distribution without multiple cable boxes, etc. I thought this was something I could do myself, but since I was made to believe that it was so hopeless, I thought of replacing it. The accessories do not exist anymore, the comany doesn't offfer them, now does ebay. Cable company nor two installers I tried could make head nor tails or it.
As for internet, I didn't see a router or switch in any of the pictures. The hanging yellow cables are probably for the network outlets. It looks like all of the cables are labeled, so it shouldn't be too hard to figure out where each one goes.
Now, go ahead and connect it to the cable modem with the power unplugged. After a minute or two, plug in the power on the router upstairs. Do a network rewire, install a port network switch and run the network from that, connecting to that, with a further 8-16 port switch to cover your telephone sub system... it's unusual not to get documents pertaining to the wired structure of the home entertainment setup so any storage boxes you have you need to start sifting through to locate wiring schematics.. Comparing your pictures with documentation on their website, though, it appears that the blue cables are plugged into a telephone module.
