If the BCM50 system includes additional units, you can clip another unit to a second set of tabs on the rackmount shelf. You can clip additional units to tabs on the top of the other units (see Figure 13).

Patch panel

The BCM50 patch panel simplifies the connections of lines and extensions to the main unit. The BCM50 patch panel installs into the rackmount shelf in a standard equipment rack and connects to the RJ-21 telephony connector using a user-supplied RJ-21 cable (see Figure 14).

Wallmount bracket

To wallmount a BCM50 unit (main unit or expansion unit), you need a wallmount bracket. The wallmount bracket is attached to the wall, and the unit is connected to the wallmount bracket. If the BCM50 system includes additional units, you need a wallmount bracket for each unit.

Each wallmount bracket includes a cable management tray that you use to store and organize the cables connected to the BCM50 units (see Figure 15 on page 48).
