Telephone Interface Configuration 
Install Telephone Demarc Blocks 
The demarcation blocks used to connect the telephone system to the 
Telephony Gateway should be installed on 3/4” telephone facility 
backboard. Although this manual uses 66-blocks as examples, any 
standard cross-connect blocks are acceptable. 
Assign and Program Telephone Ports 
The wire contractor should inform the system administrator which 
telephone line numbers have been designated for the wireless devices 
and the remote diagnostics modem line. 
The system administrator must assign extension numbers associated 
with the wireless devices and plan the functions (trunk access, toll 
restrictions, system features, ringing options, etc.) to be programmed. 
This programming will be done after the wireless devices are 
assigned to the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway, but will be 
faster if planned in advance by verifying the parameters and features 
on the current telephone system and wired phones. 
For more detail, consult the Polycom LinkPlus Digital Interface 
document for the type of telephone system in use at your location. 
Connect Telephone Lines to Demarc Blocks 
Telephone cables are punched down onto the cross-connect blocks as 
shown in the following demarc block diagrams. 
Photocopy the Wireless Device Planning Worksheets as needed. Use the 
forms to track the telephone line assignments connected to each 
SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway. As the installer punches down 
each telephone connection, record the information on the form to 
identify the user and extension assigned. A copy of this form should 
be posted near the cross-connect block.
