It's haunting me.

Did you tone out the pairs you were going to use before you punched them down? That's your first step, doing anything else before you verify you have good pairs is a waste of time.

How are you going from the SmartJack to the 110 block and the 110 block to the T1 jack on the phone system?


Like has been said earlier. Need much more information.
