Confused about my master socket..

[jamiem1987]

hiya, iv just today ordered a xte adslnation faceplate which "should" be arriving tomorrow, ive just had the faceplate off my nte5 master socket (its not a bt adsl faceplate) and it has 2 sets of 3 idc connections. 1 2 3 4 5 and 6, my extensions are wired in the exact way as described in this


Colour Terminal
Green with White band 1 (or not connected)
Blue with White band 2 (line 'B' leg)
Orange with White band 3 (bell wire for ringing circuit)
White with Orange band 4 (or not connected)
White with Blue band 5 (line 'A' leg)
White with Green band 6 (or not connected)

am i right in thinking that when i get my adsl nation faceplate i only connect wires to 2 and 5? if so what do i do with the other wires?

im sooo confused! thanks in advance

The wires from 2 go to 2 on the new faceplate 3 to 3 and 5 to 5 .
All the others you just coil up and push them back inside the master socket. All this is made clear in the instructions.

just fitted the new faceplate and made myself a short adsl cable using high quality cable.
the snr before when i had my speed uncapped was around 4-5, now using the faceplate it is:

Jolly Good.
As you make your own leads, use a RJ45 for the filter end, much better fit than those nasty RJ11

[jamiem1987]

the rj11 plugs ive got seem to be wider than usual so the fit isnt a problem, if it ever does become a problem il take your advice!! im loving the speed with the newsgroups at the moment!!
