You may have spotted a problem in my plan. Rather than have the slave

essence that is a direct connection from the 2 wires the phone needs
in the RJ11 to the patch panel,across to the phone bit of the patch
panel and then back to the wired end in the master socket. Hence why
I was thinking I need to know which pins/ colours the phone would use
in the RJ11.

The flaw seems to be that I have forgotten about the broadband
router's which also needs to be connected to the patch panel phone
connectors. So need some way of splitting filtered Vs unfiltered. At
the moment the phones are directly wired into the back of the slave
socket and the router connected via one of those filter things in the
faceplate. Having now said this it sounds a bit odd. It was something
I quickly knocked together to get something working during building
works

I assume phone is unfiltered and the modem and alarm are filtered?

No, the broadband router/modem need the unfiltered connection, and
everything else should be filtered.

(Contrary to popular belief the filter is mostly there to stop the audio
side interfering with the data)
