Installing remote power interconnect units

Figures 6 and 7 illustrate two possible configuration options using a remote
power interconnect (RPI) unit.
Figure 6 shows a configuration that is appropriate for a small installation
where there is no main distribution frame (MDF). In this case, the RPI MDF
capabilities provide the connections between the Meridian 1 system, Base
Station power, and Base Stations. Essentially, the RPI unit functions as a
distribution panel. This configuration can also be used if the existing MDF is
full or if the customer wants to keep the wiring separate from the other
telephone set wiring.
