You can also connect the ground lead to the 120 V ac conduit (which is
connected to the building ground), but this is not a preferred installation.
Note: The connector between the antenna and the lightning surge
arrestor and between the lightning surge arrestor and the Base
Station is a proprietary BNC connector and requires alignment
before a connection can be made.
3. Route and connect the coaxial cable from the outdoor external antenna
to the lightning surge arrestor.
4. Route and connect the coaxial cable from the lightning surge arrestor to
the appropriate Base Station connector.
Installing a Companion Administration Terminal
The Companion Administration Terminal is connected to the first Companion
Meridian Controller card (CMCC) Time Compression Multiplexing (TCM)
port. It cannot make or receive telephone calls, but is used to program the
Meridian Companion system and the portable telephones.
Note: If you plan to use Companion Manager instead of or in addition to an
Administration Terminal, refer to Companion Manager Installation
and Operations Guide.
Installing the Administration Terminal
1. Remove the Administration Terminal from its box.
For wall mounting instructions, see “Mounting an Administration
Terminal on the wall” on page 42.
2. Do not attach the receiver. (You may want to discard it because the
Administration Terminal cannot be used as a telephone.)
3. Connect one end of the telephone cord to the back of the Administration
Terminal and the other end to the port on the distribution block that
corresponds to the first port on the CMCC.
4. Replace the four buttons below the display with the navigation button
caps provided with the set.
