    Telephone Lines
    How do I switch the lines in the telephone interphase box so that a specific line goes to a specific jack in the house?

    Hello,

    What the devil is a, "interphase box?"

    I know of a demarcation interface, which is an interface between the incoming phone lines and the customer side of the box.

    Would you please describe this connection to me as well as what you actually have and what you want.

    Thanks

    Interphase box:

    Grossman House

    I still don't know what it is.

    How about posting a pic using "Go Advanced" ?

    Ahh..

    The Telephone Interface Box a.k.a. The Network Interface Box, a.k.a. The Network Interface Device a.k.a. NID. A spelling error?

    You need to identify the wiring in your jacks and the corresponding cable in the interface.
    Then you need to assign a color pair for each jack.
    Typically line 1 is white-blue & blue.
    Line 2 is white-orange & orange.
    Line 3 is white-green & green.
    Line 4 is white-brown & brown.

    I like to keep this color pattern at the interface and just terminate at the jacks as I need.
    This way I know what each number is without having to trace back each cable.
    I run all home runs for each jack. Is that how yours is done?
    What colors are your wires? Are they like I described above or are they green/red/yellow/black?

    Just some color corrections.

    Line 1 = White /Blue - Blue/White
    Line 2 = White Orange - Orange/White
    Line 3 = White/Green - Green/White
    Line 4 = White/Brown - Brown/White

    Four wire station drop would be:

    Line 1 = Red/Green
    Line 2 = Yellow/Black
