INTRODUCTION
The TWT-1 Telephone Line Analyzer has been designed to test telephone wall plates using RJ-11 and RJ-45
jacks. The most common jack used in homes, offices, or commercial establishments is the RJ-11. It is designed
to connect up to three telephone lines. However, it is most common to have one or two lines connected to the
jack. Your TWT-1 Tester will test up to two lines on an RJ-11 jack or up to four lines on an RJ-45 jack.

When testing a wall plate using an RJ-11 in a home, keep in mind that the single line may have multiple phones
connected. Figure 4 shows a home or office with three phones connected to a single incoming line. Note they
are in parallel. The 42A block, shown in Figure 4, is where your telephone lines start in your home or office.
The 42A block may have terminals marked "R"' and "'T". "R" stands for Ring and "T" stands for Tip. If correct
wiring procedures were followed, then red goes to "R" ring and green goes to "T" tip. Color code terminations
should be followed at all wall plates.
