•The goal is to have a balanced mix of trunk and station MBMs.

•Write the DIP switch settings for each module in a place that is handy to reference when you decide to change or add MBMs.

•If you update your Norstar system to a BCM system, your station amphenol connectors can be connected into the MBMs without adjustment. Trunk connectors must be converted to RJ-11 (CTM) or RJ-45 (BRI) connectors. However, if you use the FEM to connect your Norstar MBMs to the BCM system, the station wiring must be adjusted. Refer to “Wiring the FEM” on page 148.
