Extension cable for broadband

hi. Fitting an extension cable from the mastersocket to another room. I’ve tagged the red wire to connector 4 and the white to connector 5. The previous connector used these numbers but I’m concerned this must be different as I can’t get a dial tone. Thanks in advance
