Overview
Review this section if you are unfamiliar with the features and operation of the Link
Wireless Telephone System.
2.1 System Operation
The Link Wireless Telephone System (WTS) is a wireless communication system that
offers direct telephone access for incoming and outgoing calls anywhere within a facility.
The Link WTS consists of three basic components: the Master Control Unit (MCU), the
Base Station and SpectraLink Wireless Telephones. This diagram shows an overview of
system. Components are described below.
The Link Wireless Telephone System
•• Master Control Unit (MCU) – serves as the connecting point, or gateway, between
the Base Stations and the existing telephone system. One or more of these boxes
(approximately 12 x 3 x 7 inches) are typically installed in the telephone equipment
room and provide connectivity from the telephone system to the Link Wireless
Telephone System. Each MCU is hard-wired to one or more Base Stations, which in
turn provides the wireless link to each of the Wireless Telephones. The MCU
establishes the connection from the telephone line to the appropriate Base Station in
order to reach a Wireless Telephone.
