This chapter explains how to install the Protegé® 616
digital hybrid key system. It includes detailed instal-
lation steps specific to the Protegé system. Installers
should know standard telephony and data wiring
techniques. This manual does not give detailed steps
for standard techniques.
1. Installation Overview
1.1 Installation Steps
The following list briefly describes each step in the
installation process. The steps are listed in the recom-
mended order of completion.
1) Read the Installation Chapter. Installers
should read this chapter before installing the
system.
2) Site Planning. The position of the Protegé
system components should be determined
before the installation begins. A floor plan
showing station positions and cabling should
be developed.
3) Install the MDF. The Main Distribution Frame
is usually a 3/4 inch wooden backboard,
mounted on a wall. Attach the punch down
terminal block onto the backboard. Station
wiring and CO lines are connected at the MDF.
4) Install Programming Software. Before mount-
ing the KSU on the MDF backboard, remove
the four screws that hold the front panel in
place. Install the software.
5) Install KSU. Mount the KSU on the MDF back-
board. Use the provided mounting template to
aid in spacing the mounting screws.
6) Attach Interface Cables. The 616 KSU is con-
nected to the 66M1-50 terminal block on the
MDF.
7) Station Cabling. Each Protegé station requires
one twisted-pair, 24 AWG connection. The use
of two twisted-pair, 24 AWG wire is recom-
mended. Station cabling is terminated on the
66M1-50 block at the MDF and four conductor
modular jacks at the station.
8) CO Line Cabling. Terminate the CO lines on
the 66M1-50 block at the MDF.
9) Install Station Equipment. Protegé digital key-
sets and analog devices require basic assembly
and connection.
10) Install Optional System Equipment. Optional
system equipment might include music on
hold devices or external paging equipment.
11) System Initialization. Change the RAM slide
switch from the factory default RESET to ON.
Once this has been done and all components
have been set up and all connections have
been made, the Protegé system can be initial-
ized. The system boots up with default pro-
gramming that can be changed to suit
individual customer requirements. Program-
ming information is found in chapter 5, "Pro-
gramming."
1.2 Preliminary Checklist
To make installation easier, the following items
should be checked before beginning the 616 installa-
tion.
1.3 Location
At most sites the Key Service Unit (KSU) or Main
Distribution Frame (MDF) will be installed in a util-
ity closet or similar isolated space. Wherever the
KSU and MDF are installed, they must not be
exposed to direct sunlight, high humidity, heat, dust,
strong magnetic fields (such as those generated by
electrical motors and copy machines), or Radio Fre-
quency Interference (RFI) fields (such as those gener-
ated by radio or television broadcasting equipment).
The location chosen should be centrally located to
simplify wiring. Be sure that no station wiring
exceeds the maximum length listed in the Maximum
