SpectraLink Corporation Link WTS Installation and Operation

4.7Connect Cables from Base Stations and Phone Lines to Demarc Blocks

Two-pair twisted cable from Base Stations installed throughout the facility converge at the demarc block or backboard. Each MCU can support four Base Stations and up to 16 Wireless Telephones. The Base Station and Wireless Telephone cables are punched down onto the demarc/cross-connect blocks as shown in the demarc block diagrams below. Refer also to the diagrams in .

Photocopy the Base Station Location Form and Extension Assignments Worksheets provided in this manual as needed. Use the forms to track the Base Stations and Wireless Telephone port assignments connected to each MCU. As the installer makes each Base Station or Wireless Telephone connection, fill in the information on the form to identify the position of the Base Station or Wireless Telephone (the building and floor number, for example) and a detailed description of the location (perhaps a room number). A copy of this form should be posted near the cross-connect block.

!Station uses 2 pair, one for data and one for power.

When cabling an external Base Station or a Base Station with wiring that exits the building, protect all Base Station wiring with fuse protection. One method is to use a Quick Clip Fuse (Illinois Tool Works, Linx Division, SCP-2X2) to provide protection from external wiring.

If the wiring between the MCU and the telephone system leaves the building,

consult the telephone system manual, the NEC, and local codes for instructions on providing lightning and other over-current protection.Each BaseUp to four Base Stations can be connected on a single MCU.
