To connect an RJ11 telephone jack, first, strip the telephone line providing the dial tone. Then, strip those wires to show the copper. Then, loosen the screws on the jack. Connect the red wire to the red screw, and tighten the screw. Connect the green wire to the green screw, and tighten the screw. Connect the black wire to the black screw, and tighten the screw. Connect the yellow wire to the yellow screw, and tighten the screw. If the wiring does not match the colors of the jack, then follow these steps: First, connect the blue wire to the red screw, and tighten the screw. Then, connect the blue/white wire to the green screw, and tighten the screw. Then, connect the orange/white wire to the black screw, and tighten the screw. Then, connect the orange wire to the yellow screw, and tighten the screw. Then, screw the jack onto the wall with the appropriate screws. Connect a working telephone to the jack, and check for a dial tone. If you hear a dial tone, then you have successfully connected all of the wires to the jack. If you do not hear a dial tone, check to make sure that all of the wires are securely on the screws, and that none of the copper has come off of the wire.

A phone jack is a modular (RJ11) socket in the wall, phone, fax machine, modem , or computer device that lets you insert a telephone wire with modular connectors at the end to allow connecting a communicating device to the telephone system. Not all modular connectors are the same. RJ11 is used for phone systems. RJ45 are different sized connectors used for internet (ethernet) wires. Before modular connectors became popular, a phone jack was a square shaped jack with a round hole in each corner. A wire from a phone would end in a plug similarly shaped with metal connectors that would insert into the holes in the jack. To prevent plugging in incorrectly, some of the holes were positioned off center.
