Connecting the Control Unit to the Network Interface
Page 4-2
Wiring
If the network interface is greater than 25 ft. (7.62 m) from
the control unit, connect the control unit to the network
interface, using an Off-Premises Range Extender (OPRE).
See the documentation packaged with the OPRE for
complete installation instructions.
If you use staples to attach the cords to walls or
baseboards, make sure you do not pierce the cords.
National and local building codes specify the type of cable
required for telecommunications wiring. For example, you
cannot use indoor wiring (DIW) cable inside or on top of air
plenums or ducts, along hot pipes, or across walkways.
Consult your local ordinances and regulations for proper
cable selection.
Wiring
The local telephone company should have installed the network
interface (the central office trunks) already. Before you install the
system, verify that the network interface is the proper type and that it is
within 25 ft. (7.6 m) of the control unit. If the network interface is more
than 25 ft. (7.6 m) from the control unit, make sure you have an OPRE.
