DTI Test Taking

Hello, you currently have a test DTI socket at my place as well as RJ45 connections in the rooms of my house.
The problem is that two of the RJ45 sockets are not powered and connected to the network. The two connections are plugged into the test DTI socket with gray and white colors.
My question is, can I unplug them to activate the network in the two rooms? If I unplug them, will it still work and what is the purpose of the socket? Thank you for your response.

Hello,
The DTI is used for telephony/ADSL; if the wall sockets are only connected to the DTI, they can only be used to move the box, not for Ethernet.
To have an Ethernet network in the apartment, you need wall sockets with 8 connected wires, and at the other end, patch panels connected to the box.
You would need to give us a photo of the box where the DTI is located to get an idea of the installation.
Fiber or ADSL subscription? Where is the box?

Hello, thank you for your response. I have a fiber connection with Orange and my box is located at my meter with wall-mounted RJ45 connections as well as the test DTI.

A patch panel is a female RJ45 socket, there should be as many as wall sockets.
And we no longer use the DTI; if there are 4 patch panels, we connect the 4 Ethernet outputs from the box, using 4 cables, to the 4 patch panels. If the patch panels and wall sockets are installed with all 8 wires connected, then we distribute Ethernet from the box.

I can therefore disconnect the two wires connected to the DTI. This prevents me from making a wired connection in two rooms.

Okay, but what is the purpose of the test socket since I've got fiber?

Yes, it's a shoddy job! Especially with a filter underneath. It was necessary to connect the DTI to the master filter and place 2 cables between the master filter and CH1 CH2.
The DTI is only useful for ADSL, so it has no relevance with fiber. Indeed, the cables from the DTI need to be unplugged and the RJ45 female sockets need to be rewired.
You need to check the wiring of the wall sockets. They probably only have 2 wires connected as well.
You must use the same wiring for all the sockets:
