There was a caution above that Ethernet wires have cross-over, which seems to contradict the straight through advice on that.
"For example the Iota DS series uses the RJ11 connection with a special crossed cable *****(not the typical crossover Ethernet cable swapped connections******* but a unique cross over for only their equipment) for the IQ4 - do not reverse the connection...."
It sounds like all this crossing-over and pairing business means the method least likely to get me in trouble is to cut the existing cable and do the four wire insert. Each of the four wires is a different colour, so "what could go wrong?" :(
Very educational as always. Thanks everybody.
