Hello,

I did some renovation at home, and I had to uninstall the Bell outside box which was fixed on my house wall.
Now I'd like to reinstall it but I don't know how! :(

I've the Bell Fiber which provides to me phone, Internet and TV services.
The outside box contains a Bell black cable (from the street), which has many colors cables inside (see this picture).
Only two cables, the blue and the blue/white are plugged, others cables look as not used!

My home phone cable is the usual one, with four color cables: red, green, black and yellow
I've tried by connecting my red with the blue, and my green with the blue/white, or vice versa, but there is no phone signal!

Could you help me and tell me which cables have to be used and connected together?

Thanks a lot :)
Chris

The White/Blue coming from the street is your pair, all you need to do is work out which of the 4 lines go to which.

Try Red/Green to Blue/White, then Red/Black to Blue/White, then Red/Yellow to Blue/White.

After that use the others in sequence, listening for Dial Tone all the time, assuming you have Dial Tone at that point on a FTTH circuit.

Hello!
Thanks for your help.

I've checked the Bell cable voltage and the line is dead!
A Bell guy is going to fix the outside part.

Then, I'd like to check with you my Home cable.
I've connected my Home cable (RJ45) between Bell box (picture #1) and my Home box (picture #2).

The Bell cable pair used is blue/white and blue.
I've connected these cables with a pair of my Home cable: blue/white on the white, and blue on the blue.
Inside home, I've connected the white on the red, and blue on the green.
Does it sound good?

Thanks,
Chris
