SpectraLink 6000 System Description

This section generally explains the installation and site requirements of the SpectraLink 6000 System. The SpectraLink 6000 System is a wireless communication system that allows hand-held SpectraLink 6000 Wireless Telephones to communicate using the existing telephone system.
The SpectraLink 6000 System’s advanced micro-cellular architecture utilizes Base Stations, or cells, located throughout the facility to accommodate on-premise roaming. As a handset user moves within the coverage area, the call is seamlessly passed between cells. The SpectraLink 6300 MCU supports up to 3,200 users and millions of square feet of coverage, resulting in a scalable enterprise-wide wireless voice solution.
2
For simplicity, this manual refers to the existing wired phone system, whether an on-premises PBX or Telco-provided Centrex system, as the “telephone system.”
The SpectraLink 6000 System uses a micro-cellular design consisting of three primary components: the Master Control Unit (MCU), Base Stations, and Wireless Telephones (handsets). The following diagram shows an overview of the system.
PN: 1725-36122-001_N.doc

SpectraLink 6000 System Components

The Master Control Unit

The Master Control Unit is the processing center for calls to and from the SpectraLink 6000 System. It consists of at least one primary shelf (MCS300) and may have up to 19 expansion shelves. Residing adjacent to the telephone switching equipment, the MCU operates as a standalone, external system while maintaining full PBX functionality for handset users.
3
The MCU connects to the telephone system in two ways. The MCU can either interface with analog ports of the host telephone system or, in many cases, connect directly to the telephone system (PBX or key/hybrid system) via a digital interface. A digital interface provides the advantage that all switch features, such as call party name display and multiple line appearances, are preserved for the end user.
The MCU provides connectivity from the telephone switch to the wireless system components. Telephony ports for each handset are commissioned from the telephone switch. Base Stations, which provide the wireless link to the handsets, are wired directly to the MCU.

The SpectraLink 6000 System topology

Components in the SpectraLink 6000 System are designed in a star topology. At the center is the SpectraLink 6300 MCU. The primary shelf contains the system controller, which manages the call processing for the wireless network. Additional expansion shelf controllers manage intra-shelf calling and work with the system controller to pass calls within the wireless network and to the telephony switch. All shelves provide universal slots for up to ten Interface Modules. Interface Modules connect Base Stations and
PN: 1725-36122-001_N.doc
SpectraLink 6300 MCU: Facility Preparation
14
handsets to the system. Up to 20 shelves can be connected together to maximize the system capacity.
The following diagram illustrates a sample star topology for the SpectraLink 6000 System.
SpectraLink 6300 MCU - Star Topology

Shelf

Shelves are designed for 19” rack or wall mounting. Each shelf has 12 universal card slots. The first two slots are reserved for controller cards, the remaining ten slots are for Interface Modules. Wiring to each card is on the front panel. Power is -48V DC through the back or side panel.

System Controller (CSC or CSO301, 306, and 320)

Each system requires one system controller card, which occupies two slots (slots 1 and 2) in the main shelf. The system controller supports call routing within the entire system and to external ports. Each model number of System Controller (301, 306, and 320) supports a different number of expansion shelves. The CSO model System Controller supports Open Application Interface (OAI) enabled expansion shelves.
Two RS-232 serial ports are provided on the system controller. Serial ports can be used for multiple purposes, including local administration, remote administration and diagnostics (via modem), OAI applications and call detail recording. One standard 10-base T Ethernet port is also provided (for future use).

Expansion Shelf (CSC300, CSO300)

An Expansion Shelf Controller (CSC300) resides in slot 2 of each expansion shelf. The Expansion Shelf Controller manages intra-shelf traffic and communicates with the system controller. The CSO300 Expansion Shelf Controller supports an OAI enabled expansion shelf.
Part Numbers with a CSO prefix have the same functionality and capacity as the corresponding CSC Part Numbers and also support the Open Application Interface(OAI)

Interface Modules (CPA, CPU, CPM, CPP, CPF316)

Telephone line and Base Station connections are made to the Interface Module. Each card provides 16 line (handset) interfaces and 6 Base Station interfaces. Interface Modules are installed in slots 3 through 12 on a shelf. Interface Modules include: Analog (CPA316), Universal (CPU316), Mitel interface (CPM316), four-wire digital (CPF316), and Panasonic (CPP316). The Interface Module type is defined via the
PN: 1725-36122-001_N.doc
SpectraLink 6300 MCU: Facility Preparation
16
Operator’s Console and software when the card is installed. Interface Modules of different interface types can be mixed within a shelf.
Interface Modules are “hot swappable”; they can be removed and replaced without affecting service on the rest of the system.

Intershelf Junction Panel (JPI300)

The Intershelf Junction Panel (JPI300) connects Expansion Shelf Controllers on expansion shelves to the system controller, creating a completed communication channel between network elements. The Intershelf Junction Panel physically connects the network, converting RJ-21 connections from the System Controller to the RJ-45 connection on the Shelf Controller.

Base Stations

Radio Base Stations,or cells, provide the communication channel between the MCU and the handsets. The Base Station and handset use digital spread spectrum radio transmission in the 902-928 MHz frequency band.
Each Base Station supports multiple users and covers a transmission area in excess of 50,000 square feet. The signal propagation is dependent on transmission obstructions within the building. A call is passed from one Base Station to another as the user walks throughout the coverage area. The SpectraLink 6000 System is designed to provide seamless coverage, enabling real-time hand-off of active calls.
Base Station

ccSpectraLink 6000 System

The ccSpectraLink 6000 System (WTS) is designed to meet the high simultaneous call capacity and advanced level of telephone feature integration of the call center environment. The ccSpectraLink 6000 System uses a special High Density Base Station which can be installed with minimal spacing (as little as 20 feet between Base Stations.)

SpectraLink 6000 Wireless Telephones

The SpectraLink 6000 Wireless Telephone is a durable wireless telephone that operates with all the functionality of a wired desk phone. Weighing only six ounces and ergonomically designed, the handset is comfortable and easy to use. The monolithic design of the handset, with no moving parts, will withstand a physically demanding work environment. The handset’s alphanumeric display supports messaging from either the telephone switching equipment or an external data application. The handset provides up to four hours of talk time and 80 hours of standby between battery recharges.
When the SpectraLink 6000 System is connected to the telephone system using analog ports, the handset will provide many of the calling features of a desk phone, including transfer, conference calling, and hold. When the system is digitally interfaced to the phone system, the handset will also support the advanced features of the host telephone system such as calling party name display and multiple line appearances.
PN: 1725-36122-001_N.doc
SpectraLink 6300 MCU: Facility Preparation
18
SpectraLink 6020 Wireless Telephone
Each handset requires a line appearance (port) from the telephone system. Typically the handset extension number corresponds with the user’s internal telephone extension number. On most switching systems the user’s desk phone and the handset port can be bridged so that incoming calls ring both phones simultaneously.

Operator’s Console

The system uses a proprietary software program for administration and maintenance. The software is loaded to the Operator’s Console, an IBM-compatible personal computer, located close to the SpectraLink 6300 MCU. The PC is used to register each handset and Base Station, enter user information, monitor system operations, and initiate remote diagnostics.

SpectraLink OAI Gateway

The SpectraLink OAI Gateway and application server are optional components which enable third-party applications (such as nurse call systems) to communicate with SpectraLink Wireless Telephones.

Prepare Power for Shelves

The SpectraLink 6300 MCU requires a -48V DC power source. The ­48V connection is comprised of three wires: -48, +48 (neutral), and ground.
Polycom recommends that a licensed electrician install the -48V power source. It must be installed according to current National Electrical Code (NEC) or National Fire Protection Code standards, in accordance with all local and municipal electrical code recommendations.
Use of 14 AWG wire is recommended.
See Chapter 4, section Connect Power to Shelves for more information on power connections.
When connecting the -48 V DC system to power, note the following precautions:
A 30 amp circuit breaker must be present on the non-grounded DC circuit conductor, and the installer must ensure that means are provided for connection of the equipment to the DC source by permanent wiring methods, and no disconnecting device is located in the grounded DC circuit conductor between the point of connection to the supply and the point of connection to the grounding electrode and equipment grounding conductors.

Run Cables to Base Station Locations

The Base Station locations should be designated on the building floor plans provided to the 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, or repositioning.

Run all cable before attaching the RJ-45 connectors to the Base Stations. Label both the demarcation block end and the Base Station end of each wire with the Base Station number using a wire tie marker or other form of marker.
Remove bridge taps, multiples, or “Y” connections to the Base Station wires; these will cause data transmission errors. When using IDFs be sure that the total wire length from the MCU to each Base Station does not exceed 6,000 cable feet.
The area above some suspended ceilings is used as an environmental air plenum. The NEC requires that wire that is installed in plenums be rated for plenum installation.

Terminate Cables at Base Station Locations

Terminate cable at the Base Station using an RJ-45 modular crimp-on plug.
To avoid damage to the connectors or crimps, be sure to run the wire to the Base Station before connecting the RJ-45 connectors.
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. These connections are not
polarity sensitive.

Install Demarc Blocks

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.
If the wiring between the MCS300 and the telephone system leaves the building, consult the telephone system manual, the NEC, and local codes for instructions on providing lightning and other over­current protection.

Program Telephone System

Plan location of lines and Base Stations on Interface Modules

Each Interface Module can support 16 handsets and six Base Stations. Consider the usage and traffic patterns at this site in determining the placement of lines and Base Stations on each Interface Module. To obtain maximum calling capacity, locate handsets and Base Stations which will be used by those telephones on the same shelf.
Interface Modules of different interface types may be mixed within a shelf. However, within a given Interface Module, all ports must interface to the same type of telephone system.

Assign and program ports

The wire contractor should inform the system administrator which port numbers have been designated for the handsets and the remote diagnostics modem line.
The system administrator must assign extension numbers to the handsets and plan the functions (trunk access, toll restrictions, system features, ringing options etc.) to be programmed for the handsets. This programming will be done after the handsets are registered, but

will be faster if it is planned in advance by verifying the parameters and features on the current telephone system and-wired phones.
For details, refer to the LinkPlus Interface Guide for the type of telephone system for the system controller in use.

Connect Cables from Base Stations and Phone Lines to Demarc Blocks

Two-pair twisted cable from Base Stations installed throughout the facility converge at the demarc block or backboard. Each Interface Module can support six Base Stations and 16 handsets. The Base Station and handset cables are punched down onto the Interface Module cross-connect blocks as shown in the demarc block diagrams below.
Photocopy the Base Station Location Worksheet and Extension Assignments Worksheet as needed. Use the forms to track the Base Stations and handset port assignments connected to each Interface Module. As the field service engineer punches down each Base Station or handset connection, fill in the information on the form to identify the position of the Base Station or handset (the building and floor number, for example) and a detailed description of the location (perhaps a room number). A copy of this form should be posted near the cross-connect block.
Up to six Base Stations can be connected on a single Interface Module. Each Base Station uses two pair; one for data and one for power, so 12 pairs will be used to wire six Base Stations.
If the cabling between the MCU and the telephone system or to the Base Station leaves the building, consult the telephone system manual, the National Electric Code (NEC), and local codes for instructions on providing lightning and other over-current protection.

Run Listen Verify Diagnostic

The Listen Verify diagnostic is used to determine if Base Stations are performing correctly. See SpectraLink 6300 MCU: Operator’s Console for details. When the test is run, each each Base Station stops transmitting for a short time and listens for other Base Stations. The system checks signal strength levels between Base Stations to ensure that no Base Station is installed too close to another. If Base Stations are too close, one Base Station will be disabled (“locked out”) and an alarm will be activated, unless the Base Station in question has been designated as an “isolated” Base Station.
Base Stations with diagnostic listen values of less than -40 dbm are close to being locked out. If the Base Station is only a few dbm away from locking out, it should be repositioned to get a lower signal strength to avoid the lockout.
The Listen Verify test can be run manually or the system can automatically run it at the same time each day. See SpectraLink 6300 MCU: Operator’s Console for detailed information on how to manually or automatically run the Listen Verify diagnostic, and how to interpret results.
