							Step 1 Plan Your System
Draw a floor plan of your business, showing the location of the network interface jacks,
where your local telephone lines come into the building. You will want to install your
controller close to these jacks.
Show on the floor plan the location of each telephone in your system. Also show the
distances of the cable run from the controller to each telephone location.
Below is a sample floor plan to guide you in making your floor plan.
NOTE: If you need to install SPIRIT Communications System telephones in another building
an in-range, out-of-building (IROB) protection device is required. Contact your AT&T
representative and order part number 31304.

NOTE: Be sure cords do not cross walkways. Do not run cords
inside or on top of air plenums and ducts or along hot pipes.
Step 2 Check Outlet Grounding
Your SPIRIT® Communications System control unit has been protected against
AC line and central office line voltage surges caused by lightning strikes or other power
anomalies, provided the system is properly grounded.
Using a circuit tester, check (or have checked by a qualified technician) the outlet into
which your 
SPIRIT system control unit will be plugged. If the circuit tester detects
any of the following faults, have them corrected before installation of the control unit:
— open ground— open hot— hot and ground reversed
— reversed polarity
— open neutral— hot on neutral with hot open
If necessary, have a qualified electrician repair the electrical outlet in the manner
specified by the applicable electrical codes to prevent service interruption and continue
warranty protection. If you have two-wire outlets with no ground wire, a non-switched,
three-wire grounded outlet should be installed.

							Step 3 Mount Controller
n Mount Controller  on Wall
Choose a location within five feet of the network interface jacks, where the local
telephone company lines enter the building, and near an AC outlet that is not controlled
by a switch. Be sure the controller is in a well-ventilated area with a temperature range
of 40°F to 100°F, and free of excess dust. The controller should be mounted a minimum
of two feet from the floor with the modular connecting blocks positioned at the bottom.
Make a template like the one shown below. Using the template as a guide, install two of
the four screws (not included) in the top, leaving ¼ protruding from wall. Do not install
the bottom two screws until the controller is in place.
Install the controller, placing the two keyholes on the back of the controller against the
screws in the wall and pulling the controller down.
Install the bottom two screws through the tabs on the controller and tighten firmly.
Write the date on one of the date installed (DATE INST:) labels, located on the cord
labels, and place it on the side of the controller.

							n Test the Incoming Telephone Lines.
TEST: If you have a standard telephone with a modular cord, plug it into each jack of the
network interface, or incoming telephone lines. If these jacks do not work you will
require service by your local telephone company.
When the telephone lines were installed, the phone number should have been marked on
the network interface jack. If that was not done, write the telephone number on the jack.
You may require help from your local telephone company to decide which jack is for what
number.
Some network interface jacks carry one line only, while some carry two. If your jacks are
one-line jacks (RJ11-type network interface), you may connect the jack directly to the
controller. If your jacks carry two lines (RJ14-type network interface), purchase a 267D
2-line adapter and a D4BU cord.
n Connect Telephone Lines to Controller.
Remove from the controller box one line cord for each incoming telephone line.
Additional cords and longer cords up to 25’ long may be purchased at a phone store or
from your AT&T representative. LABEL EACH END OF EACH CORD WITH A LINE
CORD LABEL.
If your interface jack is a one-line jack (RJ11 type), plug one end of a line cord into
the “TEL CO LINE” jack for line 1 on the controller and plug the other end into the
network interface jack for line 1. Remove the cord labels from the controller
box and label the line cord with the green cord labels corresponding to the line jack
number. Remove the System Directory Label from the controller box and fill in the
telephone number next to the line number. Repeat the procedure for each line:
If your network interface is a two-line jack (RJ14 type), plug in the 267D 2-line adapter
into the “TEL CO LINE” jack for line 1 on the controller. Plug one end of a line cord
(supplied with the controller) into the “Line 2“ jack of the 267D adapter and plug the
other  end into the “TEL CO LINE” jack for line 2 on the controller. Plug one end of
the second D4BU cord into the “PHONE” jack of the 267D adapter and plug the other
end into the network interface jack. Label the D4BU cords with the green line cord
label numbers as shown in the drawing below and write the appropriate telephone
number for each line on the System Directory Label.
Secure the line cords to the wall or baseboard using staples, being careful not to pierce
the cords.
NOTE: If the distance between the controller and the network interface jacks is greater than
7 feet, purchase D4CE extension cords or new D4BU (14’ and 25’ lengths) line cords.

							Step 4 Wiring Runs
You may choose to wire your SPIRIT Communications System using 4-pair “business”
wiring materials or 2-pair “customer convenience” wiring materials. While the materials
are somewhat different, the procedure for labeling the wiring run is the same.
Each “run” from the controller to a telephone set location should be numbered and
labeled. Materials for labeling the telephone cords are included with the controller.
Do not skip this important step.
If you choose to use the 4-pair “business” wiring materials, the labeling should look
like the following:

Labels
If you choose to wire your system with customer convenience wiring, use the wiring run
labels to label EACH END of EVERY cord, as well as the wire junction boxes.
Note to installers: The SPIRIT system requires a reversal in the station set wiring. This reversal is in the
telephone (tinsel) cord that is packed with the telephone, so all other station set wiring should be straight.
