To determine bus requirements

1

Make a list of MBMs and the space requirements for each MBM you chose. Refer to the
following table.

2

Set the bus numbers and offsets on the MBM DIP switches. Refer to

“Determining MBM DIP

switch settings” on page 118

. Note that you assign trunk MBMs starting from the bottom

DS30, and you assign station MBMs starting from the top DS30.

3

Install the MBMs into the BCM main unit or expansion unit. Refer to

“Installing a media bay

module (MBM)” on page 107

.

Combination and specialized media bay modules

Note: The FEM module requires a
DS30 bus for each port that is
active. If all ports are active, no
other modules can be added to
the system.
