WTS Master Control Units


The Master Control Unit (MCU), is a dedicated wireless server which connects to standard analog or digital ports on the host telephone switch.

The MCU is available in two scalable configurations: the Link 150 MCU, and the Link 3000 MCU. These flexible sizes allow customers to grow their system easily as the number of Wireless Telephone users increases.

 

Link 150 MCU

The Link 150 MCU is conveniently sized to support 16 Wireless Telephone users and four Base Stations. Four Link 150 MCUs can be linked together by an Inter-Processor Communication (IPC) cable to support as many as 64 users and 16 Base Stations.

The Link 150 MCU is connected to the telephone switch or Centrex lines by an RJ-21 connector and is powered by 24-Volt DC through a 120-Volt AC adaptor. An administration mode allows you to easily add or remove Wireless Telephones from the system, make changes to the MCU configuration, and download software updates if necessary. LED lights on the front panel indicate the status of lines and Base Stations. The Link 150 MCU can be easily mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack with the purchase of a separate rack mounting kit.

 

Link 3000 MCU

The Link 3000 MCU is the processing centre for SpectraLink's large-scale Link WTS. It consists of at least one primary shelf and up to nineteen expansion shelves and can support up to 3,200 users. The primary shelf contains the system controller card that manages call processing for the wireless network. Telephone line and Base Station connections are made to an Interface Module. Each module supports 16 Wireless Telephones and six Base Stations, for up to 160 Wireless Telephones and 60 Base Stations per shelf. Multiple sites can be networked using T1 circuits between up to 18 remote shelves and the main site.
