jack.
Most homes and businesses are wired with either 2-pair or 3-pair telephone
cable from extension to extension. This installation splitter/adapters
utilizes the unused pair of wires in the cable to connect all phones to
the VOICE 1 port.
The point of connection to the telephone line
for The Stick can any extension wall jack. Unplug anything connected to
this wall jack and plug a splitter/adapter into the wall jack.
Plug one end of the supplied line cord into the
port labeled “LINE” on The Stick and the other end in the “Line 1” port
of the splitter/adapter.
Connect the “VOICE 1” port of The Stick to the
“Line 2” side of the splitter/adapter using an additional line cord (not
supplied).
At extension wall jacks located away from The
Stick, unplug any phones from these jacks. Plug splitter/adapters in all
wall jacks. Reconnect phones to the “Line 2” side of the splitter/adapters.
At any point “down line” from The Stick where it is impractical to insert
a splitter/adapter (for example: a wall mount telephone), this type of
jack may be converted by:
- swapping. the GREEN wire with the BLACK wire
- swapping the RED wire with the YELLOW wire
The
phone can then be plugged into the converted jack.

NOT-SO-SIMPLE IN LINE INSTALLATION
Pros:
- Total Barge-In Protection!
Cons:
- You may require the services of a telephone installation
guru (standard fee-between $35 and $70 an hour). Requires severing the
phone line before all existing wall jacks and installing either modular
jacks or RJ-11 modular plugs and an extra modular line cord.
This
one can be real difficult due to the materials required and the point
of installation for The Stick. Remember, what we are trying to achieve
in this scenario is “Barge-In Protection" all voice calls are routed
to all phones and fax and modem calls go to their respective devices-without
one being able to access the other.
- Find a point on the incoming phone line before all
wall jacks or telephone equipment. Sever the phone line.
- Install two modular wall jacks on each end of the
severed phone line. Make sure you are using the correct pair of wires
when connecting the severed phone line to the modular jacks.
- Plug one end of the supplied line cord into the port
labeled “LINE” on The Stick and the other end into the first modular wall
jack. An additional line cord will be needed to connect the port labeled
“VOICE 1” to the second modular wall jack.
- From this location, additional wiring may need to
be run to your fax machine and computer modem (if located in another room).
