Telephone Interface Configuration
Install Telephone Demarc Blocks
The demarcation blocks used to connect the telephone system to the
Telephony Gateway should be installed on 3/4” telephone facility
backboard. Although this manual uses 66-blocks as examples, any
standard cross-connect blocks are acceptable.
Assign and Program Telephone Ports
The wire contractor should inform the system administrator which
telephone line numbers have been designated for the wireless devices
and the remote diagnostics modem line.
The system administrator must assign extension numbers associated
with the wireless devices and plan the functions (trunk access, toll
restrictions, system features, ringing options, etc.) to be programmed.
This programming will be done after the wireless devices are
assigned to the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway, but will be
faster if planned in advance by verifying the parameters and features
on the current telephone system and wired phones.
For more detail, consult the Polycom LinkPlus Digital Interface
document for the type of telephone system in use at your location.
Connect Telephone Lines to Demarc Blocks
Telephone cables are punched down onto the cross-connect blocks as
shown in the following demarc block diagrams.
Photocopy the Wireless Device Planning Worksheets as needed. Use the
forms to track the telephone line assignments connected to each
SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway. As the installer punches down
each telephone connection, record the information on the form to
identify the user and extension assigned. A copy of this form should
be posted near the cross-connect block.
