Installation
Optimum system operation and the best overall experience for the users of the
Emerald ICE telephone system is assured when the following installation
guidelines are followed. Doing so will streamline the process and reduce or
eliminate the potential of experiencing problems while bringing the Emerald ICE
on ‐ line.
1. Plan the installation, including the Key Service Unit (KSU1 & KSU2) and
Main Distribution Frame (MDF) location, MDF, Electronic Key Telephone
(EKT) station locations, Direct Station Selection (DSS) console locations,
station cable runs, and optional equipment.
2. Prepare the correct tools and supplies. (UTP telephony grade cable/wiring.
Miscellaneous telephony hardware; 66M1 ‐ 50 blocks, modular jacks, etc.)
3. Run Emerald ICE extension cable/wiring for EKT, DSS consoles and analog
devices (FAX machines, modems, etc.) from the MDF to each location.
(Wiring topology is referred to as “star ‐ wiring” or “home ‐ run”
configuration; no cable should loop from one telephone location to
another.)
4. Run cable/wiring to any optional equipment, such as external paging
equipment, loud bell signaling devices, music sources, etc.
5. Mount the MDF backboard and attach the “punch ‐ down” (66) terminal
block(s) on the backboard. This documentation adheres to traditional
installation practices of telephony equipment using a dedicated MDF with
66 block wiring field to promote full serviceability of the system and
connections using proven techniques.
6. Terminate extension cables on modular jack assemblies at the terminal
locations.
7. Mount the KSU(S) on the MDF backboard. Mounting template provided.
8. Ground KSU1 (and KSU2 if equipped) to a known “good” earth ground.
