I would like to know how to connect the two ends of a telephone cable that has a gray and white pair to the RJ45 socket (on the patch panel side and the RJ45 wall socket)
Hello, for a single phone line, connect the gray/white pair to pins 4/5 (in the middle). But if you have a 4-pair cable, connect all 4 pairs without thinking twice. The colors: or even: or again: What matters is to connect both ends the same and to respect the pairs.
It's the simplest thing we can do, yes, but there are a few things to know like that, when we don't connect all the pairs. If you add the continuity 1 to 1 it should work in the test.

Another question just to confirm that I am on the right track, I connected a straight RJ45 cable on both ends of the tester to test the signal of the telephone cable???
Once everything is good, how do I make the telephone sockets (in RJ45) work, I have 08 sockets???
I don't understand ... If you connect another RJ45 cable to your testers, you're no longer testing your cable ... Then, to get the sockets working ... well you connect a line on one end and a phone on the other, I don't see what the problem is.

For the signal test to identify the correct socket, I wanted to know if I'm doing it right
I plugged one end of the RJ 45 cable into the RJ 45 of the tester and the other end into the wall socket RJ 45 where the telephone cable is connected, and on the other side of the patch panel, I connected the other tester using an RJ 45 cable, with one end connected to the patch panel socket and the other end to the RJ45 connector of the tester, and that’s when only the number 5 light on the tester was lit.
Is this a good method to test the RJ 45 sockets connected to a telephone cable???
I mentioned earlier that to prevent this tester from indicating false readings, the plots 1 of the RJ45 should also be connected. But if it's just to identify the correct socket, then if only the 5 lights up, it's sufficient; that's the right socket.
But once again, if you have 4 pairs, you need to wire all 4.
if you have a basic tester, it's normal, it needs a wire on 1 to test the others, you don't need to worry.
