Site Preparation

will be faster if it is planned in advance by verifying the parameters and features on the current telephone system and-wired phones.

For details, refer to the LinkPlus Interface Guide for the type of telephone system for the system controller in use.

Connect 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 Interface Module can support six Base Stations and 16 handsets. The Base Station and handset cables are punched down onto the Interface Module cross-connect blocks as shown in the demarc block diagrams below.

Photocopy the Base Station Location Worksheet and Extension Assignments Worksheet as needed. Use the forms to track the Base Stations and handset port assignments connected to each Interface Module. As the field service engineer punches down each Base Station or handset connection, fill in the information on the form to identify the position of the Base Station or handset (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.

Up to six Base Stations can be connected on a single Interface Module. Each Base Station uses two pair; one for data and one for power, so 12 pairs will be used to wire six Base Stations.

When wiring an external Base Station or a Base Station with wiring that exits the building, protect all Base Station wiring with the Quick Clip Fuse (Reliable Electric RSCP-2) before bridging with other Base Station power leads.

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.
