Lucent Technologies Spirit 308/616 Communications System Customer Installation Instructions

							n Mount Jack Panel Boxes
Mount the jack panel boxes near the controller, creating a “jack field.” You will need one
jack panel box for every six telephones in your system. Ideally, the jack field will be
two to six inches below the controller if the controller is wall-mounted.
Mounting screws for the jack panel boxes are included in the kit. If you are installing the
boxes on a sturdy supporting structure, such as studs or cross members, attach the boxes
directly to the walls. If the walls are hollow, mount the jack panel boxes on a board
that is about two inches larger all around than the complete jack field (all the boxes
mounted together). Then, mount the board on the wall.
Mount the jackpanel box with
the screws provided
or fasteners
appropriate for
your walls.
Mesh the tongue and
groove of another jack
panel box with the first.
Mount the second box.

							Step 4B Wiring Run, Using Customer Convenience Wiring
Customer convenience wiring materials are available at your local phone store. Different
situations require different materials. For instance, if a telephone location is less than
25 feet from the controller, you may choose to buy a 25’ D4BU line cord and plug one
end in the modular connecting block of the telephone set and the other end in the
corresponding modular connecting block in the controller. Use telephone wire clips to
secure the cord to the baseboard and your telephone set is installed.
If distances are greater than 25 feet, but less than the maximum of 1000 feet, you will want
to install a wiring run (see page 7). Below is a list of materials needed for installing
a wiring run using customer convenience wiring.
q  700 A4 plug—one for every telephone located more than 25 feet from the controller
q wire junction 742B—one for every 50 feet of wire beyond the initial  50 feet
q telephone wire package—one for every 50 feet of wire
q modular connecting block 725A or 625A—one for every desk telephone set
q modular wall connecting block 630B—one for every telephone set to be mounted
on the wall
q telephone wire stripper 953A
q telephone wire clips
n Install Plugs
Install a 700A4 plug to the end of the telephone wire that is plugged into the controller.
Follow the instructions that are packed with the plug.
n Install Wire Junctions
If the distance between the controller and a telephone set location exceeds 50 feet,
install a Wire Junction (742B). Follow the instructions that come with the wire junction.
Install telephone wire from each wire junction to each telephone set location. Be sure
that you label the telephone cords. This can be repeated up to maximum of 1000 feet.
n Secure Telephone Wire
Secure telephone wire along baseboard with clips. Be careful that you do not damage
the wire.
n Install Modular Connecting Blocks
Install a Modular Connecting Block (725A or 625A) within 14 feet of every telephone set
that will be desk mounted. Install a Modular Connecting Block for Wall telephones
(630B) where every wall-mounted telephone set will be located. Follow the instructions
that come with the modular connecting blocks.

							Step 5 Install Telephone Sets
SPIRIT telephone sets are available in 6-Button and 24-Button models. The models are
installed the same way. 
SPIRIT telephones are not like regular telephones and will not work if
plugged directly into the Network Interface Jacks. Regular telephones will not work if they
are plugged into the station jacks on your controller.
n Record Installation Date
Turn the telephone over. Write the installation date on the label located on the bottom of the
set above the base.
n Desk Mount
All telephone sets are delivered assembled for desktop use; you need only attach the handset.
To install the telephone cord on a desktop set, plug one end of the cord into the jack on
the bottom of the telephone. Run the cord through the slot on the bottom of the base so that
the cord is retained by the tabs. Plug the other end of the cord into the modular connecting
block of that location. Plug the handset cord into the handset.
n Wall Mount
To mount a SPIRIT telephone set on the wall, remove the set base by pushing in on the center
at the top of the base and pulling the base away from the telephone. Install the base on a
630B Wall Telephone Modular Connecting Block. Plug one end of the telephone cord into the
wall connecting block. Wrap surplus cord around the tabs on the base (see picture on left).
Plug the other end of the telephone cord into the jack on the back of the telephone set. Insert the
top tab of the base into the slot at the top of the set. With one hand, push up on the center of the
bottom of the base. Swing the set into position and lock into place.
Slide out the plastic hook (see picture on right) located just above the speaker grill and turn
around so the curved section sticks up into the earpiece cradle and holds the receiver in place.
Plug the handset cord into the handset.
n Label Intercom Extension Number
Slide out the plastic hook (see picture on right) located just above the speaker grill. Lift the
clear plastic window off the hook. Locate the designation labels from the telephone box and
tear off the ICM label. Record the intercom extension number of that telephone on the ICM label.
Place the label on the plastic hook. Lay the plastic window on the label. Holding the label
and plastic window in place, slide the plastic hook back into the telephone.

							Step 6 Connect System To Wiring Runs
Connect the controller to the wiring runs. Following the numbers on your wiring run
labels, plug one end of a jumper cord into the jack panel box or wire junction (see pages
7 and 14) and the other end of the jumper cord into the appropriate station jack on the
controller.
Plug the controller power cord into the AC outlet.
Testing The System
n Testing the Incoming Telephone Company Lines
Use a standard telephone with a modular cord. Plug the cord into the jacks for the
incoming telephone lines. If you can hear a dial tone, the lines are working. If you
do not hear a dial tone, contact your local telephone company.
n Testing the Wiring Run
If you cannot get a dial tone on a SPIRIT telephone set, check the wiring by carrying
the set to the controller and plugging the modular cord into one of the “STATION”
jacks on the controller. If you get a dial tone at the controller, but not at the telephone
set location, the wiring is at fault.
n Self Test
Your SPIRIT Communications System has self-test capabilities that you may use to
confirm that the system is installed correctly. The controller test checks that the
controller is working properly. You must perform the controller test at telephone 10. If
you hear an error tone during the self test, check to make sure that none of the
telephones are being used and that all the receivers are in place.
The telephone test, which checks that the telephone is working properly, is performed
at each telephone.
n Controller Test
All telephones in the system must be idle.
q At the controller, set the administration switch to ON.
q At telephone 10, press INTERCOM.
q Lift receiver.
q  Dial * 0 9 # * #
The test takes a few seconds to run. Then the results will be displayed on the indicator
lights of telephone 10.
Results
1. The right INTERCOM light and LINE 1 light should be lit. If either fail to light then
there is a defect in the 308 controller.
2. LINE 2 and LINE 3 lights should be lit. If either fails to light then there is a defect in
either the 308 controller or the 616 expansion unit if installed. Unplug the power cord,
remove the expansion unit, plug in the power cord, and run the test again. If the lights
still fail to light then the defect is in the 308 controller. Otherwise, the defect is in the
616 expansion unit.
Customer Installation Instructions       15 
						

							3. The left INTERCOM light should be lit if there is a 616 expansion unit installed
correctly. If there is not an expansion unit installed, and the light does light, then there is
a defect in the 308 controller. If a 616 expansion unit is present, check that the connector
is properly installed (see the Expansion Unit Installation Instructions for further
information) and then run the test again. If the left INTERCOM light still does not light,
then there is a defect in either the 308 controller or the 616 expansion unit. To
determine which device is at fault, substitute either a working 616 or 308 and run the
test again.
4. LINE 4 and LINE 5 lights should be lit. If either fails to light then there may be a problem
with the wiring to the sets or a defective set connected to the controller. Disconnect all
telephones (except set 10) at the controller “STATION” jacks. Run the test again. If
the same results occur, the wiring and sets are working but there is a defect in either the
308 controller or the 616 expansion unit. Unplug the power cord, disconnect the expansion
unit, plug in the power cord, and run the test again. If the lights go ON, the defect is in
the expansion unit. If the lights still do not light the defect is in the 308 controller.
5. Ignore the rest of the lights on the set.
6. Set the administration switch to OFF.
n Telephone Test
Your telephones may be tested by running a self-test procedure at each telephone set.
To start the test,
q Press INTERCOM.
q Lift receiver.
q Dial # * #
All of the indicator lights on the set should go ON.
q Press any button on the telephone. All of the indicator lights should go OFF.
q Press any button on the set. The telephone should ring once. The receiver and the
speakerphone microphone should be ON.
Now, check the indicator lights at every button by pressing the button. You should be
able to turn ON or OFF an indicator light by pressing the button next to it. If a
button does not have an indicator light, the MESSAGE indicator light will turn ON
and OFF to indicate that the button is working.
When the SPEAKER indicator light is OFF, the handset receiver (earpiece) and the
speakerphone microphone should be ON. Test by rubbing your finger over the
microphone (the two small slots next to the # key). You should hear static.
q Hangup the telephone to leave self test. (You can always leave self test at any point
by hanging up.)
After completing the self test by hanging up the telephone, test the speaker by pressing
INTERCOM and then SPEAKER. You should hear a dial tone.
Test the handset transmitter by lifting the receiver and dialing one digit on an outside
line. Then set the handset volume to its highest level and blow into the mouthpiece.
You should hear the blowing through the handset earpiece.

							Troubleshooting
What To Do If You Have Trouble With Your System:
For SPIRIT Communications Systems purchased from AT&T, a customer “hotline”
(1-800-628-2888) is available to help you if you have questions about or trouble with your
system. If you need assistance from the hotline, please follow these instructions BEFORE
calling the hotline number. If you have purchased your system from an authorized dealer,
these procedures will provide helpful information to have available before you contact
your dealer.
Run the controller test (see page 16). At the end of the test, do not hang up the handset
until you have observed the HFAI, MESSAGE, MUTE, and SPEAKER lights. Make
a note of whether each of those lights is on or off and have the information available
when you contact the hotline.
If a telephone is not working properly, exchange it with a working telephone set. You
may also check telephone cords, handsets, and handset cords by swapping them with
working components.
If you think the wiring may be at fault, take the inoperative telephone to the controller
and plug it directly into the corresponding station jack. If it works there, the wiring
between the controller and the telephone set is at fault. To check the station jack,
plug the inoperative telephone into a station jack that you know is working.
Check the network interface jacks (where the telephone company lines come into your
company) by plugging a working standard telephone (NOT a 
SPIRIT telephone set)
directly into the jack. If the telephone does not work, call your local telephone company.
Optional Accessories
The controller has jacks for a music on hold source, external alert, and a public address
system. The music on hold source requires an RCA-type phono plug. The line level for
Music-On-Hold is one volt. A volume control for the music source is located next to the
music jack on the controller.
