HPNA Cable
Use standard telephone cable to connect the RJ-11 telephone wall outlet to the RJ-11 port

Wiring Conventions
For HPNA connections, a twisted-pair cable must have one pairs of wires. Each wire pair
is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be red and the other, red
with white stripes. Also, an RJ-11 connector must be attached to both ends of the cable.
Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-11 connectors in a specific orientation. The
following figure illustrates how the pins on the RJ-11 connector are numbered. Be sure to
hold the connectors in the same orientation when attaching the wires to the pins.
