Default phone wiring orientation question


"oktokie" wrote in message
t...
I am having an another kind of phone line problem… I

currently have a
flaky phone system where my phone’s been working |

not-working. I have a
question, my phone line uses 2 wire ( blue & blue-white of

6 pair phone
line), however, does it matter which orientation blue &

blue-white line
connects to the phone? (Let just say I have a two phone

and one phone is
wired blue, then blue-white but the other phone is wired

blue-white then
blue).
Please, let me know…Thank you in advance.

months


It might but you didn't give enough info to make judgement
calls on - not even how the phone doesn't work.

Easiest thing to try is to switch the wires inside the plug
block and see if the problem changes. Have you tried
another phone there? What's your 'system'? Are you sure
the system's OK? If you know which is Tip and which is
Ring, Ring is always negative w/r to the Tip.
