Hello TREG'ers, Can anyone tell me:
Is there a specification or other document that describes the correct manner in which telephone wall connectors are supposed to be wired in Germany? (Perhaps a DIN or even a Deutche Telekom document?) If so, how I might obtain a copy of this specification? Residential telephone connectors in Germany use a three-connector scheme where the connectors are prioritized such that only one device is connected to any given line at a time. The lowest priority connector is usually the one in the middle, I believe. However, I have heard many anechdotes about the right or left being the number one or top priority connector. I'm sure there are many of you who have experience with this connector scheme, but what I need is very specific information rather than more anechdotes, please. I believe I have seen this information included within the ETSI document 300-242, but I suspect this is a secondary reference. That is, this information was copied from some other document which is the true primary source. I have learned it is usually better to use primary sources if they are available. I realize that regardless of what this document might show, the actual practice may be different in some cases. There is little I can do in those cases, but it would be very helpful to know what the wiring is supposed to be.
