    Are you in the US?
    Usually the pairs are: white/blue to green, blue/white to red, white/orange to black and orange/white to yellow.
    Hope you have not disconnected old jack yet. You could look for 48 Volts on a pair of wires.
    The Negative goes to red, and the positive goes to green.
    Also, maybe remove another jack and check configuration, whoever wired it, usually will wire the same.
