SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway Administration Guide 

When installing a system with four or fewer SpectraLink 8000 
Telephony Gateways and a SpectraLink 8000 SVP Server, no IPC 
cables are required. For this configuration, follow the directions for 
connecting five or more SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateways.  

To mount five or more SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateways: 
1.  Mount the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateways on the 

backboard or rack. 

2.  No IPC cable connection is required for five or more SpectraLink 

8000 Telephony Gateways. Simply connect each SpectraLink 8000 
Telephony Gateway to the local area network via an Ethernet 
Switch per Connect SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway to LAN 
below. 

3.  This system configuration requires a SpectraLink 8000 SVP Server. 

See the document SpectraLink 8000 SVP Server Administration Guide 
for SRP. 

Connect the male RJ-21 connector from the appropriate demarcation 
block to the designated RJ-21 connector (A or B) on each SpectraLink 
8000 Telephony Gateway. Secure the cables using the keeper. 

Each Gateway requires a separate Ethernet connection on an Ethernet 
switch. Using an RJ-45 cable, connect the 

 port on each 

SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway to the connecting port on the 
same Ethernet switch. 

1.  Once the units have been properly grounded, connect the power 

plug from the AC adapter to the jack labeled 

 on the 

SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway.
