4.5 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 ½" or ¾" 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.
When cabling an external Base Station or a Base Station with wiring that
exits the building, protect all Base Station wiring with the Quick Clip Fuse
(Illinois Tool Works, Linx Division, SCP-2X2) before bridging with other
Base Station power leads.
If the cabling 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.
4.6 Assign and Program Ports The wire contractor should inform the system administrator which port numbers have
been designated for the Wireless Telephones and the remote diagnostics modem line.
The system administrator must assign extension numbers to the Wireless Telephones and
plan the functions (trunk access, toll restrictions, system features, ringing options etc.) to
be programmed for the Wireless Telephones. This programming will be done after the
Wireless Telephones are registered, but 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 section of LinkPlus Digital Integration Guide (PN 72-0070-00)
for the type of telephone system for the MCU in use at your location.
