1 Installation Overview Installation has three phases. In most cases, a separate person is responsible for each phase. 1. Site preparation and wire installation: This is usually done by a wire technician or contractor. 2. Installing the SpectraLink system: This is done by Polycom or one of our certified distributors. 3. Programming the customer’s telephone system to work with the SpectraLink system: This is usually done by the customer’s system administrator or technician. Because t

2 SpectraLink 6000 System Overview Review this section if you are unfamiliar with the features and operation of the SpectraLink 6000 System. System Operation The SpectraLink 6000 System is a wireless communication system that offers direct telephone access for incoming and outgoing calls anywhere within a facility. The SpectraLink 6000 System consists of three basic components: the Master Control Unit, the Base Station and SpectraLink 6000 Wireless Telephones, or handsets. This diag

SpectraLink 6100 MCU: Installation and Operation: SpectraLink 6000 System 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 SpectraLink 6000 System. Each MCU is hard-wired to one or more Base Stations, which in turn provides the wireless lin

3 Site Preparation Required Materials Provided by Customer The following equipment must be provided by the customer: Outlet Strip Recommended for installations with more than one MCU. This will allow the MCUs to be turned on and off together. Cross-Connect Block Required to connect the telephone switch ports and the Base Stations to the MCU. 25 Pair Cables RJ-21 male at MCU end, required to connect the MCU to the cross-connect blocks. Backboard Space The MCU is designed t

4 Run Cable for System Run Cables to Base Station Locations The Base Station locations should be designated on the building floor plans provided to the Polycom field service engineer. Base Stations can be mounted easily on raised or acoustical ceiling tiles, or on the wall. Avoid locating Base Stations in high or hard-to-reach places, as this will hinder maintenance, testing and/or repositioning. Wire specifications The customer’s wire contractor is responsible for adhering to all loc

SpectraLink 6100 MCU: Installation and Operation: SpectraLink 6000 System Determine the amount of wire needed to connect the Base Station to the MCU by scaling from a floor plan or a sketch, pacing, measuring, or estimating. Remember to include enough wire to reach the ceiling. The wire length between the MCU and each Base Station may not exceed 2,200 cable feet. Install an extra 25 feet of wire at the Base Station to allow for possible relocation. Pull Cable Pull the cable from the

8 Run Cable for System Terminate Cable at Base Station Locations After running the wire to the Base Station location, terminate the wire using an RJ-45 modular crimp-on plug. Connect the data pair to pins 1 and 2, and the power pair to pins 7 and 8. If the connection uses more than two pair, refer to the table on the following page. To avoid damage to the connectors or crimps, be sure to run the wire to the Base Station before connecting the RJ-45 connectors. RJ-45 Modular Cable
