Site Preparation

Install Demarc Blocks

The demarcation blocks used to connect the telephone system and Base Stations to the MCU should be installed on a typical telephone facility backboard. A 1/2” or 3/4” thick board mounted on the wall near the MCU is typical. Although this manual uses 66- blocks as examples, any standard cross-connect blocks are acceptable.

If the wiring between the MCS300 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.

Program Telephone System

Plan location of lines and Base Stations on

Interface Modules

Each Interface Module can support 16 handsets and six Base Stations. Consider the usage and traffic patterns at this site in determining the placement of lines and Base Stations on each Interface Module. To obtain maximum calling capacity, locate handsets and Base Stations which will be used by those handsets on the same shelf.

Interface Modules of different interface types may be mixed within a shelf. However, within a given Interface Module, all ports must interface to the same type of telephone system.

Assign and program ports

The wire contractor should inform the system administrator which port numbers have been designated for the handsets and the remote diagnostics modem line.

The system administrator must assign extension numbers to the handsets and plan the functions (trunk access, toll restrictions, system features, ringing options etc.) to be programmed for the handsets. This programming will be done after the handsets are registered, but
