VIC-2fxs card in UK

from https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/275664?referring_site=kapi

Well guys it has taken my 4 hours tonight but I believe I have an answer. Some tests I did with the BT Converse 220 phone (lets call this a UK phone) and a SMART Ohmmeter / Voltmeter suggested that the UK phone was using pins 2 & 5 on the RJ11 to perform the task I was expecting on pins 3 & 4 (centre).

I decided to do some research and found these sites:

http://www.telephonesuk.co.uk/wiring_info.htm

In a nutshell this confirmed my thoughts, that the speech/ring combination on the UK phone was pins 2 and 5.

Now we already know that the Router FXS is expecting the signal on pins 3 & 4 so the thing to do is make an RJ11 that meets that need, hence:

FXS Wiring:
===========
 
Router Pin 3 <----> UK Phone Pin 2
Router Pin 4 <----> UK Phone Pin 5

++
OR
++

Router Pin 3 <----> UK Phone Pin 5
Router Pin 4 <----> UK Phone Pin 2

------] Pin2<------------->Pin4 [--------
Phone ].........................[ Vic2FXS
------] Pin5<------------->Pin3 [--------
                            
Where the 2<->4 & 5<->3 can be 2<->3 & 5<->4?

*The Polarity makes no difference, though one of these will be the correct way*

BTW - if you are using a 4 wire cable, the two centre wires are 3-4 (usually red/green) and the two outside (usually yellow/Black) are 2/5. Sorry if that is obvious, it wasn't to me when I started.
