70 Venture 3-Line Telephone with Answering Device User Guide
Appendix
T
his appendix is intended for use
by installers or individuals with
system wiring experience. It provides
in-depth information required to
complete the wiring of a Venture
system, from the connecting blocks
through the jacks and the Venture
cord adapter module (CAM) to a
Venture phone. It also provides
information relevant to new
installations and previously wired
facilities.
Running cable to phone
jacks
The following factors should be
considered when new wiring is
required for new installations or to
provide additional phone lines.
• The same telephone service
provider line must appear as line 1
on each phone so that the phones in
the system can communicate.
• Three (or more) twisted-pair cable
is recommended.
• Running cable from the
connecting blocks to each
telephone (a home run
configuration) is recommended.
• Running a cable from one phone to
the next (a daisychain
configuration) is also supported,
although it may cause more work
if the system is modified later.
• Individual cables for each phone
line can also be run; however,
there is no advantage in incurring
the additional expense.
Wiring the jacks
• One jack for each telephone is
recommended.
• On a standard 6-pin teledapt jack,
the lines terminate on the tip and
ring pins as follows:
line 1—green and red pins,
line 2—black and yellow pins,
line 3—white and blue pins.

Wire color may vary from
region to region.
Two jack examples
The following two examples explain
how to connect three telephone
service provider lines terminated on
two jacks to a CAM. Other more
simple configurations, shown only
from the jack to the phone, are
explained in the section titled
“Installing the phone” on page 8.
☞
Applying the instructions
presented in these two examples
should enable you to connect
telephone service provider lines
from the connecting blocks in a
building to the CAM for any
configuration. If you require
more information, call
1-800-574-1611.
