BCM Expansion Module and Central Answering Position (KIM,
KEM, CAP) Documentation Clarification.
Introduction
This document is intended to clarify the configuration options for the terminal (telephone
set) expansion modules that are supported by the BCM family of products. This
document will clarify both the limitations of the physical devices that can be attached to
the terminals as well as the administrative setting that can be applied to terminals with
expansion modules.
The physical expansion devices for each of the terminals will be described first followed
by the configuration option that can be applied.
This bulletin is clarifying the information in the following end user documents regarding
the Central Answering Position (CAP), the Key Indicator Modules (KIM) and the Key
Expansion Modules (KEM). For the remainder of this document, all key expansion
modules (KIM’s & KEM’s) will be referred to as KEM’s (unless otherwise indicated).
This document is to be used in the interim until the end user documentation is updated
with this information during the next major release.

Physical Terminal Expansion Modules
The terminals portfolio supported by BCM includes a number of hardware accessories
that expands the number of programmable keys available on the terminals. This allows
for fast access to speed dial or auto dial functionality, as well as allowing a central
attendant or secretary / administrative assistant to view the call status of a large number
of people or departments.
When an expansion module (KEM) is connected to a terminal (default configuration),
they are also referred to as ordinary KEM’s (or oKEM).
The specific characteristics of each of these accessories is summarized in the following
table and covered in more detail in the following sections.
