Accessories

The following accessories can be used with the BCM50 system:

Station auxiliary power supply (SAPS) — provides power for the central answering position (CAP) when the 7316E is connected to five or more KIMs. Can also be used to extend the loop length between a telephone or terminal and the BCM50 system from 1,000 to 2,600 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 kbit/s. With a single-line telephone, the ATA2 supports a long-loop configuration.
