Planning The
Dedicated
Equipment
Room
An important part of your pre-installation work is to map-out the
geography of the site. If you can, get up-to-date blueprints of the
building. If blueprints are unavailable, draw up your own rough floor
- I
plans and cross sections of the building.
Make sure that at a minimum you have all of the following
information:
l The location of the equipment room.
l The anticipated location of all of the various telephones.
l The current location of the cable runs for pre-existing CO lines
and phone sets.
Comdial recommends that you use a dedicated equipment room for
the DXP installation. If you do have other equipment in the room,
make sure you check for radio frequency interference. If you aren’t
going to use an equipment room, make sure to install the DXP in a
low-traffic area where the equipment and wiring won’t be bumped or
knocked loose.
Keep in mind that the distance between the main cabinet and the
Telco/PBX must be 25 feet or less (Comdial recommends a nominal
distance of 7 feet).
You must also install the equipment in an area whose temperature
stays between 32 and 122 degrees fahrenheit with less than 90 percent
non-condensing humidity.
An important element to the equipment room is the AC power;
hopefully, your equipment room has accessible outlets, if not, make
sure to have a professional electrician install one. The DXP requires a
dedicated 117V AC 15 AMP circuit for installation. We need to make
sure that the outlet is within four feet of where we mount the DXP so
that the power cord reaches.
