Accessories
You can use the following accessories with the BCM50 system:
Station auxiliary power supply (SAPS)—provides power for the central answering position
(CAP) when you connect the 7316E to five or more KIMs. You can also extend the loop length
between a telephone or terminal and the BCM50 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 Kb/s. With a single-line telephone, the
ATA2 supports a long-loop configuration.
Note: Nortel provides limited support for legacy Norstar telephones.
