hi
all you need is 3 pair telephone cable from the master point looping to each room you want the extra points, just make sure you use a propper bt tool as you can get a bad connection if you try and use a screwdriver or simular. the connections are as follows blue - 2, orange - 3 and blue/white - 5
hope this helps if you need any more info i can assist you further
regards

If you have ADSL, you don't need any wire on 3 as the ADSL filter does the work of the bell wire. It'll cut out noise on the line, too, well it did with mine.

Thanks for reply.

when you say tool do you mean to strip the wire or to screw it down on the point, what does the bt tool look like mate? so point 2 = orange 3= blue/white whats 5?

thanks again

ADSL ?? the point just has the phone point. if in the future decide to have sky or internet through the phone line would it still be ok if i do add these other points??

hi
the tool just pushes the cable into the connection you dont actually strip it off, if you search on google you should find a pic of the tool, you can just use a screwdriver to push but it doesnt work very well and you will proberly have problems getting them to work, blue goes to point 2 ,orange to point 3 and blue/white to point 5
