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 Description

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 Inter-Connection Panels,
depending on the number of 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.
