I checked the pin out for the SLT RJ 45. The guys had done the job according to the manual:

Pin 1 - Tip 213
Pin 2 - Tip 214
Pin 3 - Tip 215
Pin 4 - Tip 216
Pin 5 - Ring 216
Pin 6 - Ring 215
Pin 7 - Ring 214
Pin 8 - Ring 213

This looks odd on the MDF as; 213 connects to OW/BrW, 214 connects to O/BrW while pairs are retained for 215 (GW/G) and 216 (Bl/BlW).

I suspected a misprint, so have experimented with pairs OW/O and BrW/Br, but these do not even produce a tone so I guess the manual is correct.

So I'm still at the same impass 213 and 214 work ok as outgoing lines for faxes, but can not receive (or try to receive, but the calling station still gets the ring tone as if the lines have not been answered).

The problem now is that I need to configure these lines to link into a voice mail/aa system and I've still got the same issue.

Could it be something to do with these circuits being configured as Off Premise Extension OPX connections, or do you think that there may be a minor board fault on this system?
