Wondering if anybody else has come up with a solution to this one.
I live in an area of the world where electricity is definitely not a given, for example it hasnt worked for the last 11 hours. But I work remotely using Vonage and serves its purpose flawlessly, except because of not being able to use it during blackouts, I bought an inverter (Trace Xantrex for those who know), and when it is powering the vonage box (D-Link VTA-UV) I now get a buzzing on the line which is quite distracting. Now I believe this is due to the inverter creating noise, but I am wondering if there is a solution to this during the blackout times?? anyone?
The unit only needs a 12v power supply. The irony of the whole problem is that the noise is created upscaling 12v DC from the inverter batteries, to 110v AC, which gets converted back again to 12v DC for the Vonage Box!!!

If you are absolutely certain that your unit requires 12V DC, you can simply run it from your battery (the one that you're using the inverter with). You'll need an appropriate plug that mates with your unit, and be absolutely sure to observe the correct polarity (verify with a VOM). To be on the safe side you can add inline fuses to the positive and negative leads in between the battery and device.
Edit* I have a similar adapter to yours. Mine is D-Link VTA-VR, I verified the power requirements as 12VDC @ 1.25A. The unit uses a simple barrel type connector. So basically you need an adequate length of zip cord capable of carrying the voltage and current (like what is coming from the power adapter now), a barrel connector (same dimensions as the existing one on the power adapter), and a pair of inline fuses (optional, but recommended). You can opt to just fuse the positive side. Be sure to determine and verify the correct polarity of the plug. You should be good to go. Hope this helps.
