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 SpectraLink 6100 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-
premises 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 25-pair 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.
