Wiring

If the network interface is greater than 25 ft. (7.62 m) from the control unit, connect the control unit to the network interface, using an Off-Premises Range Extender (OPRE). See the documentation packaged with the OPRE for complete installation instructions.

If you use staples to attach the cords to walls or baseboards, make sure you do not pierce the cords.

National and local building codes specify the type of cable required for telecommunications wiring. For example, you cannot use indoor wiring (DIW) cable inside or on top of air plenums or ducts, along hot pipes, or across walkways. Consult your local ordinances and regulations for proper cable selection.

Wiring

The local telephone company should have installed the network interface (the central office trunks) already. Before you install the system, verify that the network interface is the proper type and that it is within 25 ft. (7.6 m) of the control unit. If the network interface is more than 25 ft. (7.6 m) from the control unit, make sure you have an OPRE.
