2gig POTS Line Wiring Help Needed

I have a gocontrol2 with internal pots line not the module… shouldn’t matter

I need to wire the pots line to a standard phone line.

The phone line does not require an RJ31X takeover block and I won’t be using one.

What I need is the Pinout or layout of the connector in the 2gig Pots Port so I can crimp a RJ45 connector that fits the 2gig port on to a RJ11 phone line wire.

From what I understand the ring and tip are the primary wires needed and are the center two wires on the 2gig pots connector but I don’t really want to guess at this.

so idk sometimes i say things confusingly…

I got a 2gig with pots
I got a phone line
Need to crimp a 8wire RJ45 connector on the 4 wire phone line to make the connection.

I emailed 2Gig info@2gig.com 10 days ago and no response yet

thanks

See the attachment below from 2Gig regarding POTS wiring. You are correct in the Ring and Tip description, you also need the return line.

Keep in mind this isn’t a necessary secondary to a cell communicator, and it requires a land-line phone account which may otherwise not be needed.

Perhaps it is just me, but wouldn’t it be much easier to simply use a 2GIG-GCPOTS module which runs new from $13-$19?

wow … thanks so much

so many searches and I found nothing like your pdf

so simple the last page even has a picture.

I appreciate it

: )

My pleasure.

follow up

I made the RJ45 to RJ11 cable to plug the POTS adapter into my MagicJack

Works well… I can call in and check status and arm and disarm the system.

thanks again

Sorry to bump an ancient thread.

I have old gc2 units. Bought pots modules but I can’t get the phone to work

I call the number for the phone line and the alarm does not respond to me. But if I set off alarm my cordless phones say “line in use” when it goes off. I never get a call and I set up my cellphone as “central station”

I called in to ask 2GIG about the module and they stated newer firmware remove the POTS module options on the panel and are replaced by the Cellular communicator options. You would need a 2GIG GC2 with older firmware to possibly get it to work.

If it does have a firmware, you would need to have an account number in programming and the account number would need to be tied into the central station number. You can try entering in a random account number but based off what 2GIG mentioned, it will not function like this.

Let us know if you have additional questions

I do have a UPCBL2 firmware update cable.

Just don’t know where to get older or correct firmwares for the panel.

I have 3 GC2 panels in total.

All upgraded to the new qolsys iq4 4g ones.

So I don’t mind experimenting.

The documentation says to just have the pots dialer on an active phone line and call the phone line 2x. Doesn’t mention it needing to be allowed or anything. The firmware part makes sense but my panel do list telephone and cellular in the config screens. A tele test fails though as my phone doesn’t respond with correct handshake. I did get the panel to call my phone when it goes off or when doing a tele test. It doesn’t do anything just dead silence but it does call. So module and phone line work.
