Connecting the phone line to the panel with a DB-8 cord
After installing the RJ31X jack, you are ready to connect the phone line to the panel. A DB-8 cord (not
included) uses a plug at one end for connecting to the RJ31X module and flying leads on the other end for
panel terminal connections.
To connect the DB-8 cord to the panel terminals and RJ31X jack, (see Figure 26 on page 35), and do the
following:
1. Connect the green, brown, gray, and red flying leads from the DB-8 cord to panel terminals 25, 26, 27,
and 28.
2. Insert the DB-8 cord’s plug into the RJ31X.
3. Check the phones on the premises for a dial tone and the ability to dial out and make phone calls. If
phones do not work correctly, check all wiring and correct where necessary. See Troubleshooting on
page 126.
