The SpectraLink 6000 System topology
Components in the SpectraLink 6000 System are designed in a star
topology. At the center is the SpectraLink 6300 MCU. The primary
shelf contains the system controller, which manages the call
processing for the wireless network. Additional expansion shelf
controllers manage intra-shelf calling and work with the system
controller to pass calls within the wireless network and to the
telephony switch. All shelves provide universal slots for up to ten
Interface Modules. Interface Modules connect Base Stations and
handsets to the system. Up to 20 shelves can be connected together to
maximize the system capacity.
The following diagram illustrates a sample star topology for the
SpectraLink 6000 System.
