Installing the SOMAport 140
Connecting telephone equipment to in-building telephone wiring
The following illustration shows the front and back view of the two-way
splitter.
The connector on the left connects to Line 1. The one on the right connects to
Line 2. (Note that some splitters have three jacks. The left connector is for
Line 1, the middle one is for Line 2, and the right connector is for Lines 1 and 2
so that you can connect two-line phones.)
