Trunk media bay modules
You install the trunk media bay modules in the BCM1000 or the BCM1000e. Trunk media bay
modules connect telecommunications lines to the Business Communications Manager hardware.
These are determined by:
• which lines are available from your telephone service provider
• what lines you require for the types of telephones you want to use
• budget considerations
Table 6 lists the types of trunk media bay modules that are available for the Business
Communications Manager system:
