Hi,
I have a new style "BT openreach external NTL box" on my brand new house. Basically, I think the developers have wired it up wrong, but I dont want to get them back to re-do it (time off work to be in etc). In the box is the clear connector with ports 2,3,5. Currently in 2 is a blue wire, in 3 is nothing, and in 5 is an orange wire. The line works, but not the ringer. If I connect the ringer wire (white with blue stripe?) into 3, the ringer works, but when you dial a number, the phone does not seem to register the dialling – i.e the ring tone remains. Also the dialling tone is noisy.
Am I right in thinking I need to disconnect the orange wire, as it is the "ring wire", which is not needed and causes interference?
