Wiring a new Telephone Master Switch

Moz81 — Sun, 14 Feb 2021 20:11:14 GMT

Please help!

I am trying to swap over my master switch from the image below to the new master switch in the 2nd image and need to know what wire goes to each of the 1-6 outputs on new switch.

The current setup has the following:-

Main wire into the house

Blue & White goes to the A connection

Blue goes to the B connection

2nd wire (think this is for the other sockets in the house)

Blue goes to the 2 connection

Orange goes to the 3 connection

Orange & White goes to the 4 connection

Blue & White goes to the 5 connection

Lots of sockets have that written on them.

Who do you pay your line rental to?

Then you are posting on the wrong forum.

This is a BT Retail phone and broadband customer forum, and has nothing to do with Sky or Openreach. Its Openreach that provide the external network connection, not BT Retail.

Sky have their own user forum, and that would be the best place to ask any further questions.

The Sky forums are here Sky User - The unofficial support forum for everything Sky!

Sky Help Forum - Help & Support from the Official Sky Forum - Help & Support from the Official Sky Forum

Sky have their own exchange equipment, and if you wire things up wrong, and damage their equipment you could be charged.

Thanks
