Telephone wiring question
I thought that when hooking up a phone, the important wires are the red
and the green. I thought that the red wire from the phone line is supposed to be coupled with the red wire in the wall jack, and the green wire from the phone line is supposed to be coupled with the green in the wall jack. Today I examined the wires inside the jack box, and I see that a tan/white wire from the phone line is coupled with the red in the wall jack box, and a blue wire from the line was coupled with the green wire in the box. I tried to re-do the pairings by matching the red from the line with the red in the box and a green from the line with the green in the box, but when I did that, I didn't get a dial tone. What's going on? |
