First connection point is the connection between telephone network points of the locality to the main jack box of the building. This is a major responsibility or I should say they usually do a service provided by the telephone department and this connection in the network only.

Here, one thing to keep in mind is that often builders provide the jack points at the time of construction of the building or the bungalow in order to prevent any kind of damage to the décor of the walls. If the jacks are already present, that much effort or work will be saved for you.
- If the jacks are not present, then you will have to go through the task of creating the jack points. You will need to drill the sufficient holes in the walls, so that, the telephone cable can go inside it and then the cable has to strip using a wire stripper and brought forward towards the exterior of the wall. This work has to be done with a lot of caution wearing leather gloves in order to avoid shocks.
- The other end of the cable has to strip and screwed to the wall jack using screws and screwdriver. It is better you keep wall jack parallel to the wall, so that, it looks aesthetically appealing.
- Now, all you have to do is to connect the one end of the cable to the base of the telephone and other end remains intact connected to the wall jack. Make sure both the ends of the cables are strip neatly and fastened properly with the help of the appropriate screws. Now, you can check the connections of the base phone and the receiver also.
