Adding a new telephone socket

[sobeitjedi]

Hi.

My telephone cable that comes in from the outside has two sockets, one in the hallway, one in the lounge, running off the same cable. This same cable goes through the dining room but there is no socket.

>--------------hallway socket --------diningroom(no socket)----------lounge socket

What do I need to do, to add a socket in the dining room?

buy a socket, and connect it to the cable that is there.

to save grief connect the same colurs as used ion other sockets.

terminals 2,3 & 5 are the only ones you need worry about

What sort of socket do I need to buy? Looking at B&Q online, there are slave, master, secondary sockets, etc. There's no great detail to help either.
