I understand there's a lot of questions around connecting the Elk to the RJ31X, and I've found a lot of threads explaining it, but of course, I think my situation has just enough of a small twist that I need more help.
My builder installed a home phone distribution hub in my house, which includes an output for 'security' (pic attached). Is it a fair assumption that this also contains the RJ31X functionality?
If so, I assume I can just wire up that Cat5 in the 'security' jack to the Elk and be done with it (without using Elk's included RJ31 adapter, etc...).
So my next question is: Which wires are which in the Cat5? I know I only need 4 of them. (The line from the phone company and the line from the pictured hub to the security panel are both wired T568A).
I ASSUME that Tip and Ring are Blue and w/Blue (does it matter which is which?), and I also assume than that T1 and R1 are Orange and w/Orange (again, does it matter which is which?).
Is this correct? Am I way off and have to do something totally different, like install Elk's RJ31X?
Thanks in advance for any help!
