Installing an ADSL faceplate

Postby admin » Fri Jan 22, 2010 9:14 am

Although our ADSL faceplates come with BT Openreach instructions we thought we would post this up just to be safe.

First off to fit the NTE5 ADSL faceplate splitter you need to remove the front lower half of the NTE5 :-

You could discard the front lower plate but keep it just in case! :-

If your modem or router plugs into your master socket and you have no extension wiring all you need to do is plug the ADSL faceplate in! :-

If you have extension wiring for phones only then you have probably purchased the 3 way version (NTE2000) , to connect extension wiring (and do away with filters on all extensions) you need to wire to the back of the ADSL faceplate :-

You will see the IDC block is marked 2,3 & 5. Most modern phones will work with just 2 & 5, if your phones do not ring then connect pin 3. Simply connect wires to pins 2, 5 & 3 and connect to the same pins on your extension(s).

If your modem or router isn't by the master socket then you have probably purchased the 6 way IDC version (NTE2005)

For filtered(telephones, Sky boxes etc) extensions wire to the pins marked 2,3 & 5 as above :-

For the extension that you plan to run to your modem/router you MUST wire to the pins marked A & B. Most people find they want to plug there modem/router in away from the common master socket location (by the front door/ hallway etc) but would still like the neatness that a centralised filter gives.
