There are two jacks on the back of most phones. Please DO NOT connect both jacks to the wall. This is not necessary and will create a physical network loop that can take down major parts of the network. The only jack that needs to go to the wall is the one with a symbol that looks like 3 connected boxes. This jack goes to the wall. The other jack is for a user to plug in a computer and is labelled with a one box. Always contact TSD if you're not sure.
