    Could be red and green or white/blue/, blue/white pair.
    Voltage tester can tell as well.
    What do you have for colors of wires, type pf jacks(inserts that punch down, or the red,green, yellow, and black wired jacks)?

    Red and green connect to the red and green at the jacks, yellow and black is usually line 2.
    If connecting red and green to category rated wiring, connect white/blue to green and blue/white to red.
