Cleaning Tips for Wireless Telephones
Wireless Telephones may occasionally need to be cleaned to maintain appearance. Generally, wiping the handset surface with a clean, water-dampened cloth or paper towel will remove most films or residues. If the soiling is too stubborn for plain water, a mild detergent solution may be us ed. Be sure to wipe away any detergent residue with a plain water dampened cloth.
DO NOT IMMERSE WIRELESS TELEPHONES IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
The Wireless Telephone may be cleaned with any general-purpose household glass and surface type cleaner. Spray the cleaner on a soft cloth or paper towel, then wipe the surface.
DO NOT SPRAY THE HANDSET DIRECTLY.
Pre-treated cloths, like those used for eyeglasses or cameras, may be used to clean the Wireless Telephone. Pre-moistened towelettes may also be used. Avoid those containing lanolin or aloe as it will leave a slippery residue.
The surface of the handset may be cleaned occasionally with disinfectants used for general cleaning in a medical environment. Isopropyl alcohol may be used occasionally applied by a damp cloth or paper towel. When using alcohol, do not rub the keypad characters vigorously. Doing so will significantly degrade legibility.
• Do not use furniture polishes, waxes or plasticizer-based cleaner (Armor All , etc.)
• Do not use lanolin, aloe, glycer in or other skin care type products.
• Do not apply any solvent such as acetone, mineral spirits etc.
• Do not directly spray or immerse the handset.
Should the headset connector become dirty, a scratchy or intermittent signal may be experienced. To clean the connector, dip the non-padded end of either a wooden or paper handled cotton swab in isopropyl alcohol. Gently insert in the connector and twist, repeating several times. If available, blow compressed air into the connector to clear debris.

2. Link Wireless Telephone System
Overview
Review this section if you are unfamiliar with the features and operation of the Link Wireless Telephone System.
2.1 System Operation
The Link Wireless Telephone System (WTS) is a wireless communication system that offers direct telephone access for incoming and outgoing calls anywhere within a facility.
The Link WTS consists of three basic components: the Master Control Unit (MCU), the Base Station and SpectraLink Wireless Telephones. This diagram shows an overview of system. Components are described below.
The Link Wireless Telephone 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 inches) are typically installed in the telephone equipment room and provide connectivity from the telephone system to the Link Wireless Telephone System. Each MCU is hard-wired to one or more Base Stations, which in turn provides the wireless link to each of the Wireless Telephones. The MCU establishes the connection from the telephone line to the appropriate Base Station in order to reach a Wireless Telephone.
The MCU supports four Base Stations and up to 16 Wireless Telephones. Up to four Link 150 M3 MCUs can be linked together for extended coverage area. Chained MCUs support up to 64 Wireless Telephones maximum.
SpectraLink offers an analog MCU that works with telephone systems (CO, PBX or Key Systems) with analog (loop start) ports. We also offer digital MCUs that work with the most common brands of telephone systems' (PBX or key systems) digital ports.
•• Base Stations – act as a radio transceiver to provide the communications signal
between the Wireless Telephone and the MCU. Base Stations are slightly larger than a smoke detector and are typically mounted on the ceiling, in strategic locations throughout the facility. A single Base Station can provide radio coverage for an area of 5,000 to 50,000 square feet depending on building obstructions. Base Stations may be located up to 2,200 cable feet from the MCU.
When a Wireless Telephone user makes or receives a call, the Wireless Telephone and Base Station establish a digital radio communication link. As the user moves around the coverage area, calls are “handed off” to the Base Station that is able to provide the best radio signal (typically the closest Base Station). These handoffs involve the Wireless Telephone establishing a communication link with another Base Station and dropping the previous link.
•• Link Wireless Telephones – communicate with the Base Station using digital
spread spectrum transmission at 902-928 MHz. Employees can carry Wireless Telephones to keep in contact as they move throughout the building. The Wireless Telephones use on-premise wireless technology; they are not cellular or satellite phones. They are connected to the facility's existing telephone system and, just like wired telephones, can receive calls directly, receive transferred calls, transfer calls to other extensions, and make outside and long distance calls (subject to the restrictions applied in your facility.)
2.2 The Front Panel of the Link 150 M3 MCU
The MCU's front panel contains the connections to the telephone system, switches to control system administration, and status LEDs.
1. STEP Button – Selects a specific line or Base Station during registration process.
2. Mode Switch – Selects the mode of operation for the Link 150 Wireless Telephone System.
ADMIN: Administration mode, used to set up
system features to match features on the telephone system.
NORMAL: Normal mode, used during day -to-day
operations.
REGISTER: Registration mode, used to add or
delete Wireless Telephones and Base Stations.
3. DEL/ENTER Button – Removes a registered Wireless Telephone from the system.
4. IPC IN Port – Used to connect preceding MCUs in a multi-MCU configuration.
5. IPC OUT Port – Used to connect sequential MCUs in a multi-MCU configuration or to connect to an Open Applications Interface (OAI) Telephony Gateway.
6. Error LED – Flashes when the system has detected an error. When flashing, check the Status LEDs for an error code.
7. Status LEDs – Indicate system error messages and status. Refer to LED Status Codes for more information.
8. Line LEDs – Indicate the line status of each Wireless Telephone: ringing, in use, or not active.
9. Base Stn LEDs – Indicate the status of each Base Station.
10. Conn A or B – RJ-21 connector to the cross- connect demarc block. Connector B is supplied and used only with 4 wire interface.
11. Power Jack – Connects to the AC adapter to supply power to the system. CAUTION: Use only the provided Class II AC Adapter with output 24VDC, 1A.
12. Grounding Lug - For use on the analog interface
MCU (SCA-5XX).
3. Site Preparation
3.1 Required Materials
The following equipment must be provided by the customer.
1. Outlet Strip – Recommended for installations with more than one MCU. This
will allow the MCUs to be turned on and off together.
2. Cross-Connect Block – required to connect the telephone switch ports and the
Base Stations to the MCU.
3. 25 Pair Cables – RJ-21 male at MCU end, required to connect the MCU to the
cross-connect blocks.
4. Backboard space – the MCU is designed to be wall mounted to ¾” plywood
securely screwed to the wall.
5. Quick Clip Fuse – Required with an RCO410 Outdoor Base Station or when a
Base Station is located in a separate building from the Link 150 M3 MCU. Recommended Quick Clip Fuse is available from Illinois Tool Works, Linx Division, Model # SCP-2X2.
6. Base Station Mounting Hardware – If the Base Stations will be mounted on
finished walls or ceilings, a 4-5" long ¼" bolt, nuts, and washers will be required for each Base Station mounted.
3.2 Determine Location of MCU
Each MCU is approximately 2.75 inches wide, 12.5 inches high, and 7 inches deep, and weighs about 5 pounds. The unit is designed to be wall mounted over ¾”plywood.
Select a location for the MCU with sufficient backboard space and an available outlet. The MCU must be within 2,200 feet of the Base Stations. All digital interface modules must be within 250 feet of the telephone system. See your telephone system specifications for distanc e limitations for analog modules. Since the front panel is used for cabling and as an operator's console, mount the units so
the front panel is accessible.
If your system has more than one MCU, the units should be mounted
!!
vertically, side by side, physically touching the adjacent unit. Do not stack units on top of one another. Stacked MCUs can cause overheating and failure.
4. Run Cable for System
4.1 Run Cables to Base Station Locations
The Base Station locations should be designated on the building floor plans provided to the installer. 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.
Wire Specifications

Attenuation must not exceed 6.8 dB/1,000 feet @ 772KHz.
Wire that is already installed (spare house cable) can be used when it is available. House cable will usually run from the MDF in the telephone equipment room to Intermediate Distribution Frames (IDFs) spread throughout the facility. Install new wire from the closest IDF to the Base Station. Be sure no bridge taps, multiples, or “Y” connections are created or present.
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.
4.2 Pull Cable
Pull the cable from the MCU location (usually in the telephone equipment room) to the Base Station locations designated on the floor plans.
If the cabling exits the building, consult the telephone system manual, the NEC, and local codes for instructions on providing lightning and other over­current protection.
When cabling an external Base Station or a Base Station with wiring that exits the building, protect all Base Station wiring with the Quick Clip Fuse (Illinois Tool Works, Linx Division, SCP-2X2) before bridging with other Base Station power leads.
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. The area above some suspended ceilings is used as an environmental air
plenum. The National Electric Code requires that wire installed in plenums be rated for plenum installation.
4.3 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

4.4 Prepare Demarc Blocks
The MCU connects to the existing telephone system using RJ-21 connections. An MCU is designed to operate with a specific interface to the telephone system: two wire digital or analog, or four wire digital. The number of demarcation blocks required for the system depends on the number and type of MCUs installed.

If the wiring between the Link 150 M3 MCU and the telephone system leaves the building, consult your telephone system manual for instructions on providing adequate lightning and other over-current protection. All MCUs (except the analog interface SCA-5XX) are intended only for connection to the isolated side of an on-premise telephone switch. The interfaces are intended to connect to digital telephone switch ports that provide signals of 5Vp-p (max) AC component and some telephone switches provide a 48 V DC offset.
Based on the number and type of interfaces in the system, determine the number of 25­pair cables required to connect line ports and Base Stations to the demarcation blocks.
The diagrams which follow provide an overview of the connections.
Multiple Power Pairs
Some sites may prefer to wire Base Stations to a separate demarc block in order to split out power pairs.
Dedicated Line for Diagnostic Modem
The Link 150 M3 MCU can be accessed remotely using an internal modem. To use the modem for remote access, a dedicated dial-in line must be provided. On digital interface systems this line must be terminated as a digital extension to the MCU.
Two Wire Analog or Digital Interface
The wiring diagram below shows the connections required for a two -wire analog or digital interface.
Two Wire Analog or Digital Connection
Four Wire Digital Interface
The wiring diagram below shows the connections required for a four -wire interface . Each MCU of this type requires two demarcation blocks which will be wired as indicated.
Four Wire Digital Connection
4.5 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 ½" or ¾" thick board mounted on the wall near the MCU is typical. Although this manual uses 66­blocks as examples, any standard cross-connect blocks are acceptable.
When cabling an external Base Station or a Base Station with wiring that exits the building, protect all Base Station wiring with the Quick Clip Fuse (Illinois Tool Works, Linx Division, SCP-2X2) before bridging with other Base Station power leads.
If the cabling between the MCU and the telephone system leaves the building, consult the telephone system manual, the NEC, and local codes for instructions on providing lightning and other o ver-current protection.
4.6 Assign and Program Ports
The wire contractor should inform the system administrator which port numbers have been designated for the Wireless Telephones and the remote diagnostics modem line.
The system administrator must assign extension numbers to the Wireless Telephones and plan the functions (trunk access, toll restrictions, system features, ringing options etc.) to be programmed for the Wireless Telephones. This programming will be done after the Wireless Telephones 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 section of LinkPlus Digital Integration Guide (PN 72-0070-00) for the type of telephone system for the MCU in use at your location.
4.7 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. Eac h MCU can support four Base Stations and up to 16 Wireless Telephones. The Base Station and Wireless Telephone cables are punched down onto the demarc/cross-connect blocks as shown in the demarc block diagrams below. Refer also to the diagrams in .
Photocopy the Base Station Location Form and Extension Assignments Worksheets provided in this manual as needed. Use the forms to track the Base Stations and Wireless Telephone port assignments connected to each MCU. As the installer makes each Base Station or Wireless Telephone connection, fill in the information on the form to identify the position of the Base Station or Wireless Telephone (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 four Base Stations can be connected on a single MCU. Each Base
!!
Station uses 2 pair, one for data and one for power.
When cabling an external Base Station or a Base Station with wiring that exits the building, protect all Base Station wiring with fuse protection. One method is to use a Quick Clip Fuse (Illinois Tool Works, Linx Division, SCP-2X2) to provide protection from external wiring.
If the wiring between the MCU and the telephone system leaves the building, consult the telephone system manual, the NEC, and local codes for instructions on providing lightning and other over-current protection.
Two Wire Analog or Digital Demarc Block
The demarc block for the two -wire analog or digital interface should be wired as follows.
Four Wire Digital Demarc Block
The four wire digital interface (future release) requires two demarc blocks, one to Connector A and one to Connector B on the MCU. They should be wired as follows.
4-Wire Connector A
4-Wire Connector B

5.3 Install MCUs
Mount MCUs to Wall
The MCUs are designed to be mounted on a backboard of ¾ inch plywood, securely fastened to the wall. Mount the MCUs vertically, side by side, using 2.75 inch spacing center-to-center for each unit. Do not stack MCUs on top of one another.
To mount the MCUs:
1. Using a 1/8” drill bit, drill four pilot holes, on 2 inch by 12.1-inch centers.
2. If installing only one MCU, insert the #8 x 3/4 inch screws in the pilot holes and
tighten, leaving a 1/8 to 1/4 inch gap from the wall.
3. If installing more than one MCU, the ESD bonding strap(s) must be installed
between adjacent units:
3.1 Remove the screws from the bottom of adjacent units.
3.2 Place the ESD strap over the pilot holes that span two units and hold it against the plywood backboard.
3.3 Place the star washer on top of the ESD strap.
3.4 Insert the #8 x 3/4 screw and tighten to leave 1/8 to 1/4 inch gap from the wall.
3.5 Repeat for all ESD straps.
4. Slide the MCU over the screws until it drops in place.
5. Tighten screws fully.
6. When installing an analog interface MCU (SCA-5XX), the grounding terminal in the rear panel of each unit must be electrically connected to earth ground. Consult the NEC and local codes for instructions on making the connection to the ground.
Connect MCU to Demarc Blocks
Connect the male RJ-21 connector from the appropriate demarcation block to the designated RJ-21 connector (A or B) on each MCU. Secure the cables using the keeper.
Connect Multi-Unit Systems
Use the following procedure to connect multiple MCUs.
1. Mount the MCUs side by side.
2. Connect the IPC cable from the OUT Port of the first unit to the IN Port of the adjacent unit. Repeat until all units are connected, as shown in the following illustration.
Multi-Unit Link 150 MCUs
No IPC cable is connected to the IN Port of the first unit. An Open
!!
Applications Interface (OAI) Telephony Gateway may be connected to the out port of the last unit.
Connect Power
1. Connect the power plug from the AC adapter to the jack labeled PWR on the MCU.
Use only the provided Class II AC Adapter with output 24VDC, 1A.
For installations with more than one MCU, use an outlet strip with a built
!!
2. Plug the AC adapter into a 110VAC outlet or switch on the outlet strip to apply power to the MCU.
in power switch. This allows the MCUs to be turned on and off together.
Set Switch Interface Type
The following steps explain how to assign a switch interface type to the MCU. This procedure must be done in on each MCU.
1. Power on the MCU with the Mode Switch in the NORMAL position. Because the MCU does not have a switch type assigned, it will alarm (the Error
LED will flash along with Status LEDs 1,2,3,4 and 5). This should take less than 2 minutes.
2. Power off the MCU.
3. Move the Mode Switch to ADMIN and power on the MCU. Within 15 seconds, Status LEDs 2 and 4 will light.
4. Press the STEP button three times. Status LEDs 1, 2 and 4 must be lit. Line LEDs 1 thro ugh 8 (indicating an
unconfigured MCU) should also be lit. If any other combination of Line LEDs is lit, then a switch type has already been
selected. Go to step 5 to pick the desired switch type.
5. Press the DEL/ENTER button to select the correct switch interface type. With each press of the DEL/ENTER button, a different series of Line LEDs will be lit. Continue to press DEL/ENTER until the correct Line LEDs are lit. Use the following list to select the desired switch interface.
Switch Interface Line LEDs MCU Type Notes
Analog 1 SCA The SCA will only support Analog Comdial 3 SCU DEFINITY - 2 wire 1,4 SCU
DEFINITY - 4 wire 1,5 SCF Executone 2,5 SCB Fujitsu 2,4 SCU Inter-Tel 2,3,4 SCU Meridian 1,2 SCU Merlin Legend 1,3 SCF Mitel 1,2,3 SCX The SCX will only support Mitel NEC 1,2,4 SCU Norstar 2 SCU Panasonic 5 SCP Siemens / Rolm 4 SCU Toshiba 2,3 SCU-5XX Unconfigured 1 through 8
6. Move the Mode Switch back to NORMAL.
7. The MCU will cycle through diagnostic testing. When the system is ready for use, the error LED should be off, and the LED for the MCU Number (1-4) will be lit. This should take less than two minutes.
If the LED for the MCU ID does not light, or if an MCU ID is duplicated, there is most likely a problem with the IPC cabling. If the system displays an error refer to 8.1 Troubleshoot Error Codes.
8. If you select a switch type that is not supported by the MCU type, the system will alarm. The Error LED will flash along with Status LEDs 4 and 5. For example, this alarm will display if you assign switch type NEC to an SCB-5XX – Executone MCU.
If this alarm displays, use the table above to verify that your MCU type supports the selected switch type. If you need to change the switch type, repeat steps 2 through 6.
5.4 Install Base Stations
Be sure the Base Station is positioned clear of anything that might damage it. The Base Station should be well above head height, away from doors and other objects that might strike it, and away from areas open to the elements or possible water leaks.
Check your location for other radio antenna devices and place the Base Stations to avoid interference. Leave enough slack wire (approximately 25 feet) to account for possible future Base Station moves.
Mount Base Stations on Dropped Tile Ceilings
A ceiling clip and plastic bolt are supplied to install Base Stations on the drop ceiling rails (T-bars) used to support acoustical tile. The plastic bolt screws into the top of the Base Station, then snaps into the ceiling clip which has been attached to the rails that hold the acoustical tile. The fastener is designed for use on 15/16" wide rails.
1. Attach the metal fastener to the rail (T-bar) supporting the dropped ceiling by rotating it into position until it snaps into the locked position.
2. Screw the plastic bolt to the 1/4 x 20 captive nut into the top of the Base Station.
3. Slide the bolt into the exposed prongs of the metal clip until it snaps into position.
4. When properly attached the Base Station should sit almost flush against the ceiling and be tightly attached to the clip and T-bar grid work.
5. Once the Base Station is anchored to the fastener, lift the acoustical tile and plug the RJ-45 8-pin modular plug into the connector on the top of the Base Station.
• The LED will blink red and green as the system software downloads to the
Base Station and the Base Station is tested.
• When the LED blinks amber, the system is ready for operation.
• When the LED blinks green, a telephone has established a radio link with that
Base Station.
• If the LED turns solid red, there should be an error message on the MCU's
status LEDs. Refer to 8.1 Troubleshoot Error Codes.
Mount Base Stations On Finished Ceilings
If your site does not have a dropped tile ceiling, the Base Station can be mounted to a finished ceiling or wall with a 4-5" long 1/4" –20 TPI plastic or nylon screw or bolt (such as a lag screw).

careful not to insert the bolt more than 1/3 inch, five full turns, into the Base Station.
5.5 Install Outdoor Base Stations
Outdoor Base Stations are equipped with a protective enclosure, designed to be mounted to a wall or pole. After the enclosure is mounted, the Base Station is inserted in the enclosure and connected.
!!
The customer's wire contractor is responsible for wiring and mounting the outdoor Base Station enclosure. The contractor is responsible for supplying screws, brackets, and other appropriate hardware.
Only RCO Base Stations can be used outdoors.
Wire and Connect Outdoor Base Stations
If the wiring for a Base Station exits a building—whether to reach an outdoor Base Station location or to reach a Base Station in another
1. Mount the outdoor Base Station enclosure to a wall or pole. The enclosure should be attached at the highest point available that will provide central coverage for the outdoor area.
building—it should be equipped with primary protection according to the National Electric Code (NEC) and/or local codes.
Wiring that exits the building must also be fuse protected at both ends. For example, use a Quick Clip Fuse from Illinois Tool Works, Linx Division, model number SCP-2X2. Insert the Quick Clip fuses in place of bridging clips on a 66 Block for the non-internal Base Station circuits.
2. Insert the Base Station cable through the compression fitting and tighten the fitting.
3. Wire the Base Station connector just as you wired the RJ-45 connectors for the indoor Base Stations.
4. Place the Base Station inside the enclosure with the part number label facing the back of the enclosure.
5. Screw the protective cover onto the Base Station enclosure.
6. Connect and Register Wireless Telephones
6.1 Set Up Diagnostic Modem
Each MCU has an internal modem feature that allows SpectraLink technicians to dial into the system for troubleshooting and maintenance. The modem is enabled on Line 1 when no Wireless Telephone is registered to Line 1. When enabled, the modem will autoanswer an incoming call to that line.
This internal modem uses proprietary communication software. You cannot
!!
To set up the diagnostic modem:
use commercial software packages to access this software. If you have a multiple MCU system, you only need to enable one modem line, on Line 1 of MCU 1. Line 1 positions on the other MCUs ca n be used for Wireless Telephones.
1. Connect an analog Direct Inward Dial (DID) line to Analog Interface MCUs (SCA-5XX) or a digital DID line to Digital Interface MCUs.
2. Move the mode switch to the REGISTER position. The LED for Line 1 should be off, indicating that no Wireless Telephone is registered to Line 1. If the LED is on then a Wireless Telephone is registered to the line. Refer to 6.3 Unregister Wireless Telephones.
3. Dial the number associated with the DID line. After one or two rings, you should hear high-pitched modem answer tone.
6.2 Register Wireless Telephones
Before a Wireless Telephone can be used it must be registered to a line on one of the MCUs. While Wireless Telephones are being registered, the system will continue normal operation.
Use the Wireless Telephone Planning Worksheet filled out by the system administrator to be sure you are correctly assigning each Wireless Telephone to its port and extension number.
All lines are unregistered when shipped from the factory. However, if you are replacing a failed MCU you may not need to register the Wireless Telephones. Refer to 8. System Administration for details.
Line 1 MCU 1 should be skipped to allow for remote access through the
!!
diagnostic modem. Each MCU supports eight simultaneous conversations. To optimize performance and reduce the possibility of call blocking, distribute the Wireless Telephones evenly across all MCUs.
To register a Wireless Telephone to your system do the following:
1. Be sure all unregistered Wireless Telephones are powered off and that there is a Base Station plugged in and within range of the Wireless Telephones to be registered.
2. Move the mode switch to the REGISTER position. (If your system has more than one MCU, be sure to move the switch only on the correct MCU.) The LED which indicates the Box ID (1-4) may change. This is normal and is not an error.
The Line Indicator LEDs now show the registration status of each line.
• If the LED is on, a Wireless Telephone is registered to the line.
• If the LED is off, no Wireless Telephone is registered to the line.
3. Press the STEP button until the LED for the line to be registered flashes.
• If the LED is flashing, that line is selected. A flash with the LED mainly off
indicates no Wireless Telephone registered; a flash with the LED mainly on indicates a Wireless Telephone is registered to the selected line.
• Initially Line 2 will flash. This is because Line 1 is usually set up as the
remote access diagnostic modem. To register a Wireless Telephone to Line 1, press the STEP button until Line 1 flashes.
• If the desired line already has a Wireless Telephone registered to it, follow the
procedure outlined below to unregister the Wireless Telephone, then return to this step.
4. Turn on the Wireless Telephone to be registered by holding down the PWR key until the Wireless Telephone beeps t wice. After a few seconds, the line indicator LED on the MCU will shine solid red. Once the Wireless Telephone is registered, the LED for the next line begins to flash.
5. To assign the extension number, hold down the FCN key until Volume Level displays. Press the # > key (NEXT) until EXTENSION displays on the Wireless Telephone. Press 0, then enter the correct extension number. Press END when finished.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 for all Wireless Telephones to be registered.
7. When all Wireless Telephones are registe red, return the mode switch to the
NORM position.
6.3 Unregister Wireless Telephones
If the desired line already has a Wireless Telephone registered to it, follow this procedure to unregister the Wireless Telephone.
1. Move the mode switch on the MCU to the REGISTER position. If your system has more than one MCU, be sure to move the switch on the correct MCU. The line indicator LEDs now show which lines have Wireless Telephones registered.
2. Use the STEP button to select the line to be unregistered. The line indicator LED for a line that has a Wireless Telephone registered to it will flash with the LED
mainly on.
3. Press the DEL/ENTER button. The line indicator LED for the selected line will be off with a short on flash.
4. Register the new Wireless Telephone or return the mode switch to the NORM position.
6.4 Program Wireless Telephone Features
PBX and Key Systems provide users with special features such as hold, transfer, conference, camp on, and speed dial. These features can be accessed via the Wireless Telephone, but the telephone system or Link 150 M3 MCU must be programmed to allow access to these features from the Wireless Telephone. For information on programming the switch to operate with the Wireless Telephones, refer to LinkPlus Digital Integration Guide (PN 72-0070-00).
• If the Link 150 M3 MCU is connected to your telephone system via analog lines,
refer to Appendix B: Program Analog Features.
• If your Link 150 M3 MCU is connected to a digital key telephone system or PBX,
refer to the section of the LinkPlus Digital Integration Guide document that deals specifically with your brand of telephone system.
6.5 Test Wireless Telephones
Verify proper registration and operation of each Wireless Telephone by performing the following steps.
1. Press the START key on each Wireless Telephone. The extension number should clear and you should hear dial tone. On some digital systems, depending on how the telephone system is programmed, you may have to select a line to get dial tone.
2. Place a call to each Wireless Telephone to verify ring, answer, clear transmit, and clear receive audio.
3. Verify all programmed features on ea ch Wireless Telephone.
4. Press the END key. The line indictor should turn off.
7. Site Certification
The installer should not leave the site before contacting SpectraLink to perform remote install verification.
Contact a SpectraLink engineer on the technical support line 800-775-5330. The hours of operation are 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Mountain Time, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
The engineer will connect with the diagnostic modem, verify calling functions, and listen while you perform a walk test. The walk test will require you to walk the inside perimeter of the coverage area. If all Base Stations are running, note any areas with heavy static or clarity problems and report it to a SpectraLink engineer.
The installation is not complete until these certification steps have been performed. Do not hand out Wireless Telephones at a site that has not been certified.
8. System Administration
8.1 Troubleshoot Error Codes
When an alarm is detected, the Error LED will light and the MCU’s status LEDs will display an alarm code.
If the error code refers to a Base Station problem, the Base Station LED will indicate which Base Station has the problem. If more than one Base Station LED is on, the error code refers to the lowest numbered Base Station with an error. Use the STEP button to select another Base Station to display its error code.
Contact SpectraLink Customer Support at (800) 775-5330 (Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Mountain Time) for additional assistance in troubleshooting your system.
8.2 Troubleshoot Phone Features
If Wireless Telephone features are not working properly, disconnect the Wireless Telephone from the MCU and plug a wired telephone into the port. The telephone should be the same type as the emulated telephone. Refer to the appropriate section of LinkPlus Digital Integration Guide for more details.
Test the features on the wired telephone.
• For analog MCUs, verify that feature access codes and switchhook flash work
correctly.
• For digital MCUs, verify that features are assigned to the correct keys and are
working properly. Refer to the appropriate section of LinkPlus Digital Integration Guide for button mapping information for the brand of telephone system at your location.
Certain four-wire telephones (such as MERLIN LEGEND) use a different

4. Apply power to the MCU.
• After a few moments each MCU in the chain should have a unique box ID
number (1-4), shown on the status LEDs. If this is not the case, recheck the IPC wiring.
• If the replacement MCU has status LED 3 and 4 lit, the configuration data has
not been successfully shared. Most likely, the replacement MCU was powered up before it was correctly attached to the IPC chain. Repeat the entire replacement procedure.
8.6 Replace a Base Station
To replace a Base Station, unplug the existing Base Station and plug in the new Base Station.
• The LED will blink red and green as the system software downloads to the Base
Station and the Base Station is tested.
• When the LED blinks amber, the system is ready for operation.
• When the LED blinks green, a Wireless Telephone has established a radio link with
that Base Station.
• If the LED turns solid red, there should be an error message on the MCU's status
LEDs and the MCU Error LED should be lit.

11.1 Select Alternate Spread Spectrum Sequence
The SpectraLink system uses spread spectrum radio transmission. Spread spectrum takes a discrete signal, such as a digitized voice conversation, and spreads it over a wide range of frequencies rather than transmitting at a single carrier frequency. The frequency range may need to be adjusted if other wireless devices in your facility, such as data terminals or bar code readers, share the same frequency band.
Units shipped from the factory are preset to operate on sequence 1, which spans the entire spectrum from 902MHz to 928MHz. If interference between the SpectraLink system and other 900MHz radio devices is anticipated or observed, any one of six alternate sequences can be selected.
Determine the frequency band of the interfering device, then use the frequency ranges below (given in MHz) to select the best interference avoidance pattern for the situation.
Sequence Frequencies Used by SpectraLink
1 902-928 2 902-915 3 902-909 & 921-928 4 914-928 5 902-904 & 909-921 6 904-910 & 920-928 7 908-922
To change a system to an alternate sequence, perform the following steps for EACH MCU.
1. Wait for any calls in progress to end. Power the system OFF, then slide the mode
switch to the REGISTER position.
2. Power the system ON. Status LEDs 5 and 1 should be lit, indicating frequency selection mode. One of the line LEDs from 1 to 7 will be indicating the current frequency selected for the MCU.
3. Use the STEP button to select the desired new sequence.
4. Press the DEL/ENTER button. The LED indicates the new frequency that has been selected.
5. Return the mode switch to the NORM position.
6. Repeat Steps 1-5 for each MCU of a multi-unit installation.
11.2 Change Companding
The factory setting on the Link 150 M3 MCU is compatible with Mu-law companding (signal compression), which is the standard used by most PBXs in North America. Systems outside North America generally use A-law companding. If the PBX companding is incompatible with the MCU's, the Wireless Telephones will have distorted or hissing dial tone and voice will be unintellig ible.
• Before you begin, if the system has more than one MCU, erase the configurations
from all MCUs except MCU 1. Refer to 8.5 Replace an MCU for instructions.
To change the default from Mu- to A-law on the Link 150 M3 MCU follow these steps.
1. Power the system OFF.
2. Slide the mode switch on the first MCU to the ADMIN position.
3. Power the system ON. Status LEDs 2, 3, and 4 will be solid green.
4. Press the STEP button once. Status LEDs 2, and 5 will be lit.
5. If the LED for LINE 1 is lit, the system is set for Mu-law. If the LED for LINE 2 is lit, the system is set for A-law.
6. Press the DEL/ENTER button to toggle between Mu-law and A-law.
7. When the correct LINE LED is lit, return the mode switch to the NORM position.
12. Appendix B: Program Analog Features
12.1 Defining Macros
On an analog telephone system, telephone system features such as transfer, hold, or speed dial are usually accessed via key presses or hook flashes. The Link Wireless Telephone System allows these features to be customized using system macros. These features can then be accessed from all Wireless Telephones by pressing FCN followed by a digit. The macro definitions are the same for all Wireless Telephones in the system.
For example, suppose your telephone system uses FLASH * 7 to transfer a call. On the Link Wireless Telephone System, you can assign the transfer function to FCN 2. When the Wireless Telephone user presses FCN followed by 2, the telephone system will enter the transfer function. Using macros instead of complicated key presses makes it easier for users to remember and access features.
Do not program analog features on a digital system.
!!
Macro definitions are made up of combinations of the following characters:
0 to 9 TheWireless Telephone keys numbered 0 to 9 # TheWireless Telephone # key * TheWireless Telephone * key F Flash S Pause 65 milliseconds
The Link Wireless Telephone System will accept programming for eleven functions. The maximum number of key entries for each function is 20.
Open Application Interface
For digital and analog systems with Open Application Interface (OAI) software, the user may press FCN key sequences to access certain applications. Macro assignments are also used to assign a function key to initiate an OAI application.
12.2 Plan Programming
Before programming the features, review the manual for your telephone system to determine what keystrokes are used to access the desired functions. Then determine which function key numbers should be assigned to these functions on the Link Wireless Telephone System.
12.3 Program Macro Codes
Functions are defined by placing an Administrative Call using the Administrative Wireless Telephone (registered to Line 2 of MCU 1). Follow these steps to place an administrative call and define functions.
In multi-unit installations, be sure all MCUs are properly connected to one

keys are 0-9, *,#, START (flash), and FCN (pause). Note that FCN + 1 is reserved for Mute.
5. Press the function key sequence to be programmed. If a key sequence is incorrectly entered, go to the next step.
6. Press the END key to complete the programming of the function. Repeat steps 4­7 for all remaining functions or to reprogram a function to correct an input error.
7. Return the mode switch to the NORM position.
The line LEDs now indicate line status and the administrative W ireless Telephone can now place calls normally.
12.4 Examples of Programming
Transfer:
On your telephone system, the Transfer feature is accessed using Flash * 7. On the Wireless Telephone, Transfer will be accessed using FCN 2.
With the Mode switch in the ADMIN position, key in the following sequence on the Administrative Wireless Telephone:
START,FCN, 2 START(flash),*,7,END
Speed Dial:
You want FCN 4 to dial 555-1234. The system must access an outside line by dialing 9 and wait for dial tone, then dial the call. Key in the following sequence on the Administrative Wireless Telephone:
START,FCN,4 9,FCN(pause),FCN(pause),5,5,5,1,2,3,4,END
The number of pause entries depends upon how quickly your telephone system accesses outside dial tone.
Clear or Erase A Function:
You want to clear FCN 5 from memory. Key in the following:
START,FCN,5,END
Remember that when you change or delete a function using the Administrative Wireless Telephone, you will change or delete that function on all Wireless Telephones.

13.1 Before Installing the OAI Telephony Gateway
If this is a new system installation, secure the OAI Telephony Gate way to the wall, power up and test the Telephony Gateway when the MCUs are tested. Connect the OAI Telephony Gateway to the MCU after the Base Stations are installed.
If you are adding the OAI Telephony Gateway to an existing system, the system will need to be shut down and re-set to install the OAI Telephony Gateway. Notify users that the system will be out of service during the installation.
13.2 The OAI Telephony Gateway’s Front Panel
The OAI Telephony Gateway’s front pane l has the following status indicators.
• ERROR: indicates an internal error
• Status LEDS:
• LED 1: future use
• LED 2: future use
• LED 3/IPC: indicates the status of the communication between the OAI Telephony
Gateway and the other MCUs.
• LED 4/RD: indicates the OAI Telephony Gateway is receiving data on the RS-232
port.
• LED 5/SD: indicates the OAI Telephony Gateway is sending data on the RS-232 port.
• PWR: indicates status of DC power connection.
13.3 Mount Telephony Gateway to Wall
Like the MCU, the OAI Telephony Gateway is designed to be mounted on a backboard of ¾ inch plywood, securely fastened to the wall. Mount the Telephony Gateway vertically, adjacent to the last MCU. Do not stack the MCUs or Telephony Gateway on top of one another.
To mount the OAI Telephony Gateway:
1. Using a 1/8” drill bit, drill four pilot holes, on 2 inch by 12.1 inch centers.
2. In each pilot hole, sandwich a star washer between the ESD bonding strap and the backboard, then insert the screw (#8 panhead wood screw, 3/4 inch long) and tighten it, leaving approximately 1/8 to ¼ inch gap from the wall.
3. Slide the Telephony Gateway over the screw until it drops in place.
4. Tighten screws fully.
13.4 Initial Test
Use only the provided Class II AC Adapter with output 24Vdc, 1A, 24W.
1. Connect the power plug from the OAI Telephony Gateway’s power adapter to the jack labeled POWER on the back of the OAI Telephony Gateway box.
2. Plug the power adapter into an 110VAC outlet or outlet strip.
3. Apply power to the OAI Telephony Gateway. The Power LED on the front panel should come on. All other LEDs should be off.
• If the ERROR LED comes on at any time, there is a hardware problem. Note
which other LEDs are on (if any) and contact SpectraLink Customer Service.
13.5 Connect the OAI Telephony Gateway to the MCU
1. The OAI Telephony Gateway must be connected as the last box in the MCU chain. Connect the OAI Telephony Gateway to the OUT port on the MCU, using the IPC cable supplied.
2. Double-check that the IN and OUT ports are correctly connected on all MCUs. The first MCU will have no connection to the IN port; the last MCU is connected to the OAI Telephony Gateway. The following diagram shows a chain of four MCUs and the OAI Telep hony Gateway.
Do NOT stack the MCUs and OAI Telephony Gateway on top of each

3. Power up the entire system.
other. Units should be placed side by side physically touching the adjacent unit.
• The Power and IPC LEDs on front panel of the OAI should be on. If the IPC
LED remains off, try replacing the IPC cable. If this does not correct the problem, or if the Error LED is on, contact Customer Service.
• All the MCUs should go through their usual diagnostic routine, and a unique
Box ID should display on the status LEDs of each MCU. If this does not happen, recheck the IPC wiring.
13.6 Connect the OAI Telephony Gateway to the Application Server
Using a standard 9-pin female D-type connector, connect the serial port on the front panel of the OAI Telephony Gateway to the PC, application server, or modem that will be used to interface with the application.
The OAI Telephony Gateway uses the following pins on the connector:
Pin Function
2 Data OAI Receives 3 Data OAI Transmits 5 Ground
If the application is up and running, the RD and SD LEDs on the front panel of the OAI Telephony Gateway should be lit or blinking, indicating that the OAI Telephony Gateway is sending and receiving data to or from the PC.
13.7 Assign A Function Key to OAI Telephony Gateway
To access the OAI application, the user presses FCN and an assigned number key. Follow these steps to assign a function key to inititate the OAI applicat ion.
1. Make sure a Link Wireless Telephone is registered to line 2. This is the only port with administration access.
2. With the system up and running and within range of a Base Station, move the
Mode switch on the MCU to the ADMIN position.
3. Press START on the Wireless Telephone registered to line 2. You should hear a steady tone.
4. Press the FCN key followed by the key you want to assign for OAI access.
5. Press ##555, then press END. This assigns OAI to the specified key.
6. Return the MCU Mode switch to the NORM position.
13.8 Certification Test
When the OAI Telephony Gateway is properly connected to the application server, the LEDs should look like this:
Power On Error Off LED 1 LED 2 LED3/IPC On LED4/SD On when sending data to server LED5/RD On when receiving data from server
To test the Wireless Telephones:
• If this is a new installation, continue with Wireless Telephone registration and PBX
programming, and perform the usual voice and coverage tests when Wireless Telephone installation is complete.
• If you added the OAI Telephony Gateway to an existing system, place a call and test
the features on each Wireless Telephone to be sure the system is working properly.
• Test the application on each Wireless Telephone. The SD and RD LEDs should be on
when the OAI Telephony Gateway is communicating with the server (at least every 30 seconds). Consult your application provider for specific test procedures.
