Introduction
This document provides installation information for Bogen’s Multicom 2000
®
Administrative Communications system.
It is for use by trained contractor personnel only.
Installation is subject to compliance with local electrical codes and other factors which are determined by local codes
and ordinances. Therefore, some of the installation instructions in this manual are generalized and apply to different
installation environments and not to any one specific installation.
The actual operating software for Multicom 2000 exists in various versions. The software is contained in Read Only
memory on various chips on the processor card. It is important to consult the Applications Engineering Department
of Bogen Communications, when software changes or updates are made. All user-determined program changes are
made via an administrative phone. Instructions for customizing system programming are found in Bogen publication
54-5911-07x. User instructions are contained in Bogen publication 54-5912-06x.
Configurations
The Multicom 2000 system is built around a card frame that accommodates the processor card and station/analog
card pairs. These card pairs are interconnected to each other and to a respective relay card through the card frame
back plane. It is available factory assembled in three configurations:
Cabinet-Mounted
The cabinet-mounted system uses the MCMF card frame and MCRC relay cards. It holds one processor card and
one station/analog card pair for each 24 stations. The cabinet system is designed for smaller installations where sta-
tion capacity will not exceed 120 stations (or 96 stations plus up to 8 “telco” stations when using Model MCTC tele-
phone option card). The cabinet-mounted system includes the audio program interface and all necessary power sup-
plies in a heavy gauge steel cabinet (semi-recessed or surface wall-mounted) cabinet.
(See Figures 1 and 2).
Rack-Mounted
The rack-mounted system uses the MCRMF card frame and the MCRM relay module. The MCRMF card frame has
an extra slot not found in the cabinet-mounted frame and provides capacity of up to 120 stations, plus the added
capacity of 8 “telco” stations (when telephone option card is included). Two card frames can be linked together to
accommodate as many as 240 stations (and as many as 15 “telco” stations).
Rack-Mounted with Bogen Multi-Graphic ® equipment
The station capacity of the Multicom 2000 system is the same as the rack-mounted systems described above. The
Multi-Graphic equipment provides redundant system capabilities, additional program channels (up to 2), custom
emergency-page capabilities, high-power amplification, control of satellite systems, and control of Multi-Graphic sys-
tem functions
(See Figure 3).
