ISDN S/T BRI.

For more information about the integrated routers, see “BCM50e and BCM50a: BCM systems with integrated routers” on page 13 or “BCM50b, BCM50ba, and BCM50be: BCM systems with integrated BRIs” on page 16.

For more information about BCM50 hardware, see the BCM50 Installation and Maintenance Guide.

BCM50 main unit

The BCM50 main unit (with telephony only) provides call processing and simple data-networking functions. It provides connections for 12 digital telephones, four (PSTN) lines, four analog station ports, and 4 connections for auxiliary equipment (auxiliary ringer, page relay, page output, and music source). The BCM50 main unit does not have a router, but it does have four LAN ports: one is the OAM port for technicians, and the other three are for basic LAN connectivity.

A main unit contains the following field-replaceable units:

•1 programmed hard disk

•1 cooling fan

•1 router card (BCM50a and BCM50e only)

Additional BCM50 hardware

The BCM50 expansion unit is a compact unit that accommodates the Media Bay Modules used by other BCM platforms. The BCM50 main unit can support a maximum of two expansion units. See “BCM50 expansion unit and media bay modules” on page 18 for more information.
