adhering to all local codes for wiring. 
Prepare Demarcation (Demarc) Blocks 
The SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway is connected to the existing 
telephone system using RJ-21 connections. A SpectraLink 8000 
Telephony Gateway is designed to operate with a specific interface to 
the telephone system: two-wire digital, two-wire analog, or four-wire 
digital. A four-wire system may require two demarc blocks. 
Based on the number and type of interfaces in the system, determine 
the number of 25-pair cables required to connect telephone line ports 
to the demarcation blocks.  
 
If the wiring between the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway and 
the telephone system leaves the building, consult your telephone 
system manual for instructions on providing adequate lightning and 
other over-current protection. 
All SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateways (except the TGA116) 
are intended only for connection to the isolated side of an on-
premises PBX or key system.  
The interfaces are intended to connect to digital PBX ports that 
provide signals of 5Vp-p (max) AC components. Some PBXs 
provide a 48 V DC offset. 
Modem administration 
The SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway can also be accessed 
remotely using its internal modem and a dedicated telephone line. If
