Using the in out method will stop the line from being interrupted by picking up the phone, in reality I have never known a burglar to pick up the phone, normally they just cut the phone line outside
Err its only a guess but I think you need to connect the two line terminals to pins 2 and 5 of the wall jack. Or is that too easy?
Sorry if I misunderstood the question
I will catch a train outside rush hours, so a late start and I will probably leave about 15.00, if its anything like the NEC I would have seen all I want to see by then
Bagpuss, we are grateful that you would try to help but this topic was posted in 2011 I would think the poster would have either solved his problem or installed a new panel by now
