Is there any way to identify which wire is A and which is B? Does it matter which connects to 2 and which to 5?

Thanks

Nope, it doesn't matter, there is no polarity. But yeah, 2 & 5 are the correct pins to use, as you've said.

Dunno - when I moved into a rented flat 6 years ago my netgear ADSL modem wouldn't work. After far too much time on the phone to my ISP, trying to persuade them that something was wrong, I was given the tip (from the internet) 'change the polarity on your phone line'.

Whipped over a couple of wires and it worked. So how that fits in with the no polarity idea, I don't know.

Good chance the info is available on www.kitz.co.uk

"Blue for 2" is how I remember it.

White and blue for 5 (obv

)

What if they're both grey

If it makes no difference and nothing will explode, i'll take a guess and then just try it the other way if any problems.
