Multi-Site Networking

The Link WTS 3000 MCU can be set up to network up to 18 shelves in remote locations from the System Controller. A networked system allows users the ability to roam throughout multiple buildings when the distance between the MCU and Base Station is further than 6000 feet, or there is no way to effectively run the connecting cable.

T1 circuits are used to provide the connection from the System Controller to each Remote Expansion shelf. A Channel Service Unit (CSU) must be provided by the customer at each end of the T1 circuits if the public switched network is utilized for the T1 connectivity. One full T1 circuit is required for the first five Interface Module cards in a Remote Expansion shelf. A second full T1 circuit is required if six or more Interface Module cards are required in the remote expansion shelf. T1 Remote Modules are required to interface the T1 circuits to the Link 3000 MCU shelves.

One T1 Remote Module is required within the remote shelf and one needs to be placed in either the primary or an expansion shelf at the local location. If a PBX is not utilized at the remote site, the Remote shelf is only required to connect and network the Base Stations using Interface Modules. If a PBX is available at the remote location, a T1 circuit is still required for the remote shelf in order to fully network the Link WTS.
