Quick NTE5/ADSL wiring question...

Using one of the "genuine" BT Master ADSL faceplates/adaptors as sold by
Clarity (at http://www.clarity.it/telecoms/adsl_bits.htm)...

If the faceplate is being fitted to an NTE5/master socket which has no
extensions running from it - can someone just confirm that its only
necessary to replace the old NTE5 frontplate with the ADSL one and that
there is no wiring (or need for Krone tool etc) needed.

TIA

Sunil

Its been 3 years since the BT engineer did it to the other line so my
memory was a bit fuzzy

As I said....I use the line ONLY for ADSL, so that comment is not
relevant.

That may well be so...but I was referring to a situation where (in my
case) there IS not star wiring. Just a filter on the NTE, and one short
cable to the router. No other wiring, no phone...
