hi all, its me again. anyway i just finished running all my wire where they belong, but lord and behold! the customer now wants dial-up to go into the system, my question is to avoid running more wire can i use one cat5e wire for phone and dial-up or does the partner acs requires all four pairs for the phone and its functions (18d lucent phones)and if not its only one pair for phones right?

thanks in advance

phones require 2 pair pins 3456 respectively

To clarify the answer, the partner phone takes 2 pair - blue & orange, the other 2 pair can be used for another partner phone, co to modem/fax, or whatever.

hi again all, and thank for the info.
since iam using one wire cat5e for phone and dial-up can i still use the cat5 keystone inserts by puching down blue/orange on one and green/brown on the other?

since your using 8pin jacks as ohio telecom said take your white blue pair and put on pins 4&5 and your white orange pair to pins 3&6, than just for fax or whatever take the white green or white brown and put on pins 4&5 keeping in mind you are not wiring this for network application. Hope this clears it up some

no offense but why are we attempting this ourselves rather than getting someone that knows what to do?

I'm in charlotte if you need onsite help!

When they blow a pack they'll call ya.
