My home is a new build with a central telecom box. Verizon installed home line, Internet and a wireless router. I want to plug my son's Xbox into the data outlet in his playroom, but the outlet isn't hot. Looking for direction on how to turn it on from the central box.

Where is the other end of that wire?

It needs to go back to the Verizon router, or to a switch/patch panel which is connected to the router.

Open the box and verify you have a line to the port. If you do, you will need to trace that line back to the Telcom box. If it doesn't go there, you'll likely have to open a wall or two and fish a line through. If there is a line that goes all the way through, the line is likely faulty and will need to be replaced (a new cable fished through).
