CHAPTER 1
Description and Specification
Introduction
This manual describes the installation and operation of the TM-2000/MTM-2000 Trunk Master and Mini-Trunk Master,
SWP-2000 Switch Over Panel, and ICP-2000 Interconnect Panel.
TM-2000/MTM-2000
The RTS Trunking System manages intercommunications between separate intercom systems using intercom ports that have
been reserved and interconnected between the intercom systems. Keypanels or other data devices can then communicate with
various destinations in other intercom systems via the reserved intercom ports. (This is different from bus expansion, in which
the bus system of two or more frames are interconnected to form one larger system.)
The RTS Trunking System consists of an RTS Model TM-2000/MTM-2000 and one or more RTS Model ICP-2000
Interconnect Panels, depending on the number or intercom systems to be trunked. A backup TM-2000/MTM-2000 may also be
added to prevent downtime in the event of a failure of the main master control unit. When both main and backup control units
are used, an RTS Model SWP-2000 Switch Over Panel is required.
