Accessories

The following accessories can be used with the BCM system:

Station auxiliary power supply (SAPS) — provides power for the OKIMs when the 7316E is
connected to five or more KIMs. It can also be used to extend the loop length between a telephone
or terminal and the BCM system from 1000 to 2600 feet. You must use a dedicated cable to
connect the two locations.

Analog Terminal Adapter 2 (ATA2) — converts digital signals to analog signals to allow
communication with analog devices, such as fax machines, modems, and answering machines.
The ATA2 supports a maximum transmission rate of 28.8 kbit/s. With a single-line telephone, the
ATA2 supports a long-loop configuration.

Note: Nortel provides limited support for legacy Norstar telephones.
