Port name	Function
Router card	The router card LAN ports are used to connect network devices, such as IP telephones to
LAN ports	the LAN.
	These ports are connected to the network switch built into the main unit. Any devices
	connected to these ports are on the same subnet as the device connected to the LAN
	port.
Expansion unit	The expansion unit LAN port is used to connect network devices, such as IP telephones
LAN port	to the LAN.
	These ports are connected to the network switch built into the main unit. Any devices
	connected to these ports are on the same subnet as the device connected to the LAN
	port.

To connect the BCM50 system to the LAN

1Connect one end of a standard Ethernet cable to your LAN.

2Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the LAN port on the main unit.

3If you want to use the internal BCM50 network switch to connect another IP device to the LAN, connect an Ethernet cable between the IP device and one of the additional LAN ports on the BCM50 system (Router card LAN ports, Expansion port, or expansion unit LAN port).

4Repeat step 3 for each IP device you want to connect to the LAN using the BCM50 switch.

5If you are installing a BCM50a or BCM50e, proceed to “Connecting the BCM50 system to the WAN” on page 156.

If you are installing a BCM50, proceed to “Next step” on page 157.
