3.9. 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 Wireless Telephones. The Base Station and Wireless Telephone cables are punched
down onto the Interface Module cross-connect blocks as shown in the demarc block
diagrams below.
Photocopy the Base Station Location Form and Extension Assignments Worksheets (9.1
and 9.2) as needed. Use the forms to track the Base Stations and Wireless Telephone port
assignments connected to each Interface Module. As the installer punches down 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 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.
When wiring an external Base Station or a Base Station with wiring that
exits the building, protect all Base Station wiring with the Quick Clip Fuse
(Reliable Electric RSCP-2) before bridging with other Base Station power
leads.
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 over-current protection.
