I have recently bought a house and found out this strange BT socket arrangement/wiring (at least from me).
The BT wires come from the outside world from the left wall in the image attached. This wire then goes into a rectangular box (a sort of splitter) which creates 2 wires, one going to the standard BT socket above the splitter and the other one going to the right towards another BT (extension) socket in another room.
I was expecting all the houses to have a master socket as main point to which all the other extension sockets would connect to.
When plugging a phone into the socket in the other room, I hear a dialling tone, whereas when plugging the phone into the socket in the picture attached, I hear nothing, all mute. I guess the wiring in the rectangular box may have something wrong, but was just wondering why I do not have a wire from the external world into a main socket.
Thanks!
