atcomsystems.ca/forum Forums TDM Business Telephone Systems Panasonic Telephones & Systems A question regarding standards/practice?

I'm setting up a KX-TDA200 and I'm using 24-port patch panels (8p2c) with an RJ-21 on the back to connect to the DLC16 cards.

As a matter of standard practice, since the system phones use d1/d2, where do others change the wires over to position d1/d2 (position 3/6 on the jack)?

In other words, the patch panel connects the d1/d2 terminals from the DLC extension card onto pins 4/5 (the line 1 position) on the patch panel jack. The phone itself needs to have connectivity on pins 3/6 on the jack. The choices are, I can punch down the orange wires into the line 1 position on the patch panel that's connected to the station wiring, or I can punch the blue pair down onto the orange positions at the jack itself. Or is there a different way?
I hope this question makes sense, the solutions aren't nearly as hard as asking the question right half the time .

Thanks!

I would punch down your pairs from the DLC onto the orange pair at the patch panel. If you switch pairs at the jack, it will screw things up later if the customer ever wants to swap a digital set with an analog device.

Thanks conxtel. That's the way we do it now, I'm always glad to get some input and confirmation from others. Makes me feel less like the Rookie I am .
