I purchased a new home three years ago and I wanted to add an additional phone jack. In my closet, there's the home "Media Center" behind a panel. I see that there is a mainboard with 10 terminals that leads to the phone jacks throughout the house, nine of which are in use, so I would like to tap into the 10th set of terminals. My question is how do I attach the phone wires to this type of terminal? Judging by the other wires already attached, it appears you just push the insulated wire down into the slot in which the insulation is pierced and held in place. I attempted this without success. Below is a link to a photo I have taken of this mainboard. I've asked around and nobody knows what I'm talking about and my home builder was no help at all and did not include manuals for do-it-yourselfers, rather "hire a qualified electrician." I would appreciate any help and thank you in advance. Please Cc me via e-mail as I don't always check news. My email is snipped-for-privacy@sbcglobal.net
