Hi GZ'ers,
This seemed like the closest forum for dealing with phone wiring questions - feel free to relocate it if required!
I have just purchased an HP M1120n MFP and need to connect it to my network. The current solution of running a 15m cable accross the floor through the hall, kitchen, and dining room is being frowned upon from those who must be appeased!
The printer is located close to an existing phone outlet, so I have been looking into replacing the single BT outlet plate with a twin outlet plate giving me RJ45 and BT.
I'm fine with sorting out the RJ45/Ethernet wiring, but I'm not sure what to do about replacing the BT jack. At present it is an HPM XL 770 BT/H 8529 and there are two cables connected. The first cable is connected to 1 (blue) and 5 (blue+white), and the second cable to 2 (blue) and 4 (blue+white)...
My main concern is the capacitor - does this indicate that this is a master jack or will all of my outlets have one? If I replace this with a PDL clip-in type unit does that usually include the capacitor? (I didn't notice one when I was looking at them in the shop).
Advice and/or ideas from anyone familiar with these sorts of connectors would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Andy.
