I need to install a jack in a room that doesn't have one at the moment and it needs to be for a second line for dsl. Been looking on the net and thought I had it under control until I opened the network box outside of the house. Now I'm just confused. The existing jacks in the house have the standard 4 wire, red, green, black and yellow with black and yellow not being hooked up. However, at the box outside I don't see any of those colors at all. Just the green.
I would rather do this myself than pay AT&T to do it. Would save me $100 or so. What's funny is they told me this house was ready for the second line which it clearly isn't since only two wires are hooked up, right? It has to be a second line since the first line is used for phone and dialup(we live in the sticks:o) and will be keeping it for the time being. I went and got a flush mount jack and 100ft of the 4 wire phone line. Just need to know how the box needs to be wired for the new line and jack.
