SpectraLink Corporation Installation and Operation
Link WTS – Link 150 M3 MCU
12.2 Change Companding
The factory setting on the Link 150 M3 MCU is compatible with Mu-law
companding (signal compression), which is the standard used by most PBXs in
North America. Systems outside North America generally use A-law companding. If
the PBX companding is incompatible with the MCU’s, the handsets will have
distorted or hissing dial tone, and voice will be unintelligible.
 Before you begin, if the system has more than one MCU, erase the
configurations from all MCUs except MCU 1. Refer to section 9.5 Replace
an MCU for instructions.
To change the default from Mu- to A-law on the Link 150 M3 MCU follow these
steps.
1. Power the system off.
2. Slide the mode switch on the first MCU to the
ADMIN position.
3. Power the system on. STATUS LEDs 2, 3 , and 4 will be solid green.
4. Press the STEP button once. STATUS LEDs 2 and 5 will be lit.
5. If the LED for LINE 1 is lit, the system is set for Mu-law.
If the LED for LINE 2 is lit, the system is set for A-law.
6. Press the DEL/ENTER button to toggle between Mu-law and A-law.
7. When the correct LINE LED is lit, return the mode switch to the NORMAL
position.
