What are you trying to accomplish here?  Yes you have two sides on an 824.
The CO side which is the analog lines coming in and the station side where
Nortel phones plug in.  Where the lines punch down on the block is not
necessarily where the lines are going to need to be punched down to connect
to the Adit or even an FXO card.  What type of cards are in your adit?
There are too many variables to answer simply.  More info please.
