Master Control Unit (MCU) Serves as the connecting point, or gateway, between the Base Stations and the existing telephone system. One or more of these boxes (approximately 12” x 3” x 7”) are typically installed in the telephone equipment room and provide connectivity from the telephone system to the Link WTS.

SpectraLink Corporation SpectraLink offers an analog MCU that works with telephone systems (CO, PBX or key systems) with analog (loop start) ports. SpectraLink also offers digital MCUs that work with the most common brands of telephone systems (PBX or key systems) digital ports.
SpectraLink Corporation The Front Panel of the MCU The MCU’s front panel contains the connections to the telephone system, switches to control system administration, and status LEDs.

SpectraLink Corporation Site Preparation All site preparation steps should be completed prior to the arrival of the SpectraLink field service engineer. A SpectraLink customer support representative will contact the customer the week before the scheduled installation date to confirm that pre- installation tasks have been completed.
SpectraLink Corporation Installation Steps This table lists the installation steps and the person usually responsible for each step. Task Description Site Preparation Determine location of MCU Run Cable for System Run cable to Base Station locations Terminate cable at Base Station locations...
• The MCU must be within 250 feet of the PBX for a digital interface and within 2,200 feet of the Base Stations. See your telephone system specifications for distance limitations for analog modules. If your system has more than one MCU, the units should be mounted vertically, side by side physically touching the adjacent unit.
Run Cables to Base Station Locations The Base Station locations should be designated on the building floor plans provided to the SpectraLink field service engineer. Base Stations can be mounted easily on raised or acoustical ceiling tiles. Avoid locating Base Stations in high or hard-to-reach places, as this will hinder maintenance, testing and/or repositioning.
SpectraLink Corporation Pull Cable Pull the cable from the MCU location (usually in the telephone equipment room) to the Base Station locations designated on the floor plans. If the cabling exits the building, consult the telephone system manual, the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes for instructions on providing lightning and other over-current protection.
Prepare Demarc Blocks The MCU is connected to the existing telephone system using RJ-21 connections. An MCU is designed to operate with a specific interface to the telephone system: two-wire digital or analog, or four-wire digital. The number of demarcation blocks required for the system depends on the number and type of interface modules to be installed.

SpectraLink Corporation Based on the number and type of interfaces in the system, determine the number of 25-pair cables required to connect line ports and Base Stations to the demarcation blocks. The diagrams that follow provide an overview of the connections.

SpectraLink Corporation Four-wire Digital Interface The wiring diagram below shows the connections required for a four-wire digital interface (available in a future release). Each MCU of this type requires two demarcation blocks which will be wired as indicated. Base Stations PN: 72-0075-05-F.doc...
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.
Use the forms to track the Base Stations and handset port assignments connected to each MCU. As the SpectraLink field service engineer makes each Base Station or handset connection, fill in the information on...

The LED will blink red and green as the system software downloads to the Base Station and the Base Station is tested. When the LED blinks amber, the system is ready for operation.

SpectraLink Corporation Install Outdoor Base Stations Outdoor Base Stations are equipped with a protective enclosure, designed to be mounted to a wall or pole. After the enclosure is mounted, the Base Station is inserted in the enclosure and connected. Only RCO Base Stations can be used outdoors.
10. Walk the site with the system administrator to show coverage. 11. Train the system administrator(s). Note: SpectraLink standard mounting is on 7/8” T-bar grid or on 3/4” steel beams. All areas must be accessible with standard on-site equipment. All other non-standard or non-accessible mounting of the Base Stations should be completed prior to the installation by the customer.
