3.2 Inside Wiring Procedures
WARNING:
Interior home wire is the homeowner responsibility. The following wiring
diagrams represent a standard wiring scheme. Not all homes will follow
this convention. Standard telephone company inside wire coverage
options will not cover the cost to repair voice path problems that may
arise as a result of homeowner wiring attempts. These repairs may be
billed to homeowner as regular time and materials repair charges. It is
recommended that all ADSL inside wiring be performed by a certified
technician.
If you are using original inside wire, then see the section Spare
Inside Wire. If you are using new inside wire cable (CAT 3 or CAT 5)
for the data, then see the section New Inside Wire.
See Figure 3-1 for a diagram of the NID data and voice outputs.
Note:
From the NID, open the latch door to the data module. You will
see four colored screws. Note the coloring of the wire that is connected
to the green and red screws. For this installation, you will only need to
connect the wires associated with the data output. The telephone
company technician has already connected the voice wiring.
