Ben,



What you suggest sounds fine in principle except for installing two
master sockets. You will only need one, installing two will add more
capacitance to the line which should be avoided. When routing through
comfort you have the Tel In and Tel out connections which are 2 wires
only, you need to keep the third wire connected through comfort and pass
all three wires to all slave sockets... Hope this makes sense. Remember
to maintain the twisted pair on the voice pair and to run the ringing
wire in a separate pair. If you do not respect the pairs your phones
will suffer interference from electrical equipment...

All

I am trying to get my head around the wiring I need to do for the BT
Master Socket, Comfort and ADSL.

The current situation is as follows

Incoming BT Line into a very old BT Connection Box then onto BT Master
Socket in the Lounge.

I would like to achieve the following

Current Master BT Socket is in the wrong place - I would like it to be
in the new node zero location about 20m away
ADSL Router also located in Node Zero
Telephone Wiring to Comfort that is also located in Node Zero (Comfort
has ringer module)
Telephone will be distributed over Cat5 Structured wiring

I know playing with the BT Socket is wrong but I would like to do the
following

Take Incoming BT line and join to CAT5 to node Zero using Krone
Punchdown connection Box
(http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/GPJB1.html
<http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/GPJB1.html>
)

Once in Node Zero wire Cat5 into BT Master Socket and use ADSL
Faceplate splitter to feed to ADSL Router

Wire Voice Connections into Comfort tel in

Wire from Comfort tel out to secondary BT Master Socket

>From the secondary BT Master Socket wire into the structured wiring
to distribute the voice connections

Now I have 2 questions

1. Will this all work? and is this a sensible way of doing it all?

2. I am not 100% sure of the connections on the Comfort side. I have
been looking at the following wiring diagram

I think it all makes sense apart from this business of having to
connect the pin 3 (Ringer) Between the 2 Master Sockets. How do I make
this in reality? I cant think of a way of doing it without it becoming
messy?

Cheers
Ben
