   It is a replacement half front panel, to replace the easily removable
half front already fitted. You will discover that there is a standard BT
socket inside the box that the front connects to, and that remains in place.
   It is designed like that so that there is no need to touch the BT wires
behind, and the front can be removed together with any extension cables, for
testing just the incoming line. Both the original and replacement fronts
have integral insulation displacement terminals for internal phone
extensions, available for customer use.
   The replacement front is cleverly designed so that the existing
termination inside the original box is by-passed by a very efficient four
stage balanced filter unit and correct termination.
