Selecting MBMs for your BCM system
MBMs are plug-in devices that connect your extensions and the public switched telephone
network (PSTN) lines to the call processing capabilities of the BCM system.
When you order your BCM system, there are no MBMs installed. You can select the number and
type of MBMs that best suit your business requirements.
There are three types of MBMs:
•
Trunk media bay module (see
“Selecting trunk MBMs” on page 108
•
Station media bay module (see
“Selecting station MBMs” on page 110
•
Specialized media bay module (see
“Selecting a fiber expansion module (FEM)” on page 111
)
For further information on the role and function of each type of MBM, refer to
If you have a large BCM system, there are some configuration restrictions that can apply to your
system. For information about these restrictions, refer to
“Assigning DS30 resources” on page
.
for an overview of the process for determining the MBMs for your system.
