Media Bay Modules
Note: This guide is specific to BCM450 Media Bay Module installation and
configuration. For information concerning BCM50 Media Bay Module
installation and configuration, please refer to the BCM50 Hardware &
Installation Guide and the BCM50 System Start Up Guide.
Media Bay Modules
Overview
Media Bay Modules (MBM’s) provide station (extension) and trunk capability
for the BCM450. Each MBM provides specific station/trunk capability to allow
connection to a variety of trunk types (e.g. analog, ISDN) and stations (e.g.
analog, digital)
Before you install a Media Bay Module, configuration will be required within
the Telephony Resources area of Element Manager to define ―where‖ the
Media Bay Module should be located. This configuration determines which
line numbers (trunks) or DNs (extensions) the equipment connected to the
module will have access to, and what dip switch configuration each MBM will
require.
The BCM450 main unit can support up to 4 MBM’s, whilst the expansion unit
can support up to 6 MBM’s. Therefore, a maximum of 10 MBM’s can be
supported on the BCM450.
Further extension/line expansion can be achieved by using the Fibre
Expansion Module to connect up to 6 legacy Norstar Expansion Modules.
However, the BCM450 maximum capacity limits of 300 extensions and 130
trunks (with Capacity Expansion Card) still apply.
Note: If the station and or trunk requirements of the BCM450 are such that an
expansion unit will be required, then the expansion unit will need to be
enabled by a keycode.
Required Information
Before installing the Media Bay Modules, you should consider the following to
help define the requirements for each module:
Determine the type and number of Media Bay Modules
Decide whether each MBM should be in the main or expansion unit
NN40011-003 Issue 1.2 BCM450 Rls 6.0 5
Media Bay Modules
Plan the types and number of Media
Bay Modules required for the
installation
Plan the installation location of each
MBM, i.e. main or expansion unit.
Prepare the BCM for Media Bay
Modules: refer to the Configuring
Media Bay Modules in Telephony
Resources section of this guide.
Install the MBM’s in the BCM main or
expansion units: refer to the Installing
the Media Bay Modules section of
this guide.
It may be necessary to further
configure the MBM’s with specific
settings: refer to the Media Bay
Module Specific Settings section of
this guide.

Media Bay Module Descriptions
The following sections describe the hardware attributes and functionality of
the Media Bay Modules.
Digital Trunk Modules
When configured on a North American BCM system, the DTM connects a T1
or PRI circuit to the BCM system; T1 circuits provide 24 digital channels to the
PSTN, while PRI circuits provide 23 digital channels to the PSTN.
When configured on an International BCM system, the DTM connects an ETSI
ISDN (E1) or PRI (E1) circuit to the BCM system, providing a maximum of 30
digital channels to the PSTN.
The DTM module supports the following protocols:
PRI
DASS2
DPNSS
NN40011-003 Issue 1.2 BCM450 Rls 6.0 7
Media Bay Modules
Basic Rate Interface Media Bay Module
The Basic Rate Interface Media Bay Module (BRIM) connects a maximum of
four BRI ISDN loops to the BCM system. Each ISDN loop supports 2
channels.
The BRIM only recognizes the T-interface used in European networks. To use
the BRIM with the U-interface, typical in North American networks, you require
an external NT1 box to convert the U-interface to a T-interface.
Each BRI ISDN connected loop adds two telephone lines to the BCM system.
Each BRIM can add a maximum of eight lines to the BCM system through the
four RJ-48C jacks on the faceplate.
8 NN40011-003 Issue 1.2 BCM450 Rls 6.0
Media Bay Modules
Caller ID Trunk Media Bay Module
There are two types of Caller ID trunk media bay modules (CTM):
1. CTM4:
The CTM4 connects a maximum of four analog calling line ID (CLID)
interfaces to the BCM system through four RJ-11 jacks on the front
faceplate of the MBM. These jacks are labelled Line 1,Auxiliary, Line
2, Line 3, and Line 4. The auxiliary jack connects to Line 1.
2. CTM8:
The CTM8 provides eight analog CLID interfaces to the BCM system
through eight RJ-11 jacks on the front faceplate of the BCM. Each jack
also supports disconnect supervision. There are two auxiliary jacks on
this MBM which connect to Line 1 and Line 5.
The auxiliary ports will interface to a V.92 or V.90 modem, fax machine
unit, or analog telephone. When the auxiliary device is active, the BCM
system disables the associated line. If the line is active, the auxiliary
port line is disabled.
When an analog telephone is connected to the auxiliary port, it can be
used as an emergency telephone because this line remains active
during a power outage.
NN40011-003 Issue 1.2 BCM450 Rls 6.0 9
Media Bay Modules
Global Analog Trunk Media Bay Module
The Global Analog Trunk Media Bay Module (GATM) provides an interface for
four or eight analog public switched telephone network (PSTN) lines. The
GATM supports bothpulse and tone dialing, as well as caller ID and
disconnect supervision in selected markets throughout the world.
The GATM uses an RJ-21 connector as the trunk interface.
Digital Station Media Bay Module
The Digital Station Media Bay Modules (DSM) support digital telephones on
the BCM system.
DSM16(+): supports 16 digital telephones through one RJ-21 connector.
DSM32(+): supports 32 digital telephones through two RJ-21 connectors.
10 NN40011-003 Issue 1.2 BCM450 Rls 6.0
Media Bay Modules
Analog Station Media Bay Modules
The Analog Station Media Bay Modules (ASM, ASM8, ASM8+, and GASM8)
can connect to a maximum of eight analog telecommunication devices. These
devices are standard analog telephones, cordless telephones, fax machines,
answering machines, or modems.
In addition to ASM8 features, the ASM8+ and GASM8 offer the following
features:
Visual Message Waiting Indicator (VMWI) — LED indicates that a
message is waiting.
Disconnect supervision (Open Switch Interval [OSI] as per EIA/TIA
464). Indicates to the attached device, in an established
communication, that the connected device should release the call
Caller ID — provides the name, phone number, and other information
about the caller to the end user telephone at the start of the call.
Firmware downloading capability — allows the system to upgrade the
ASM8+ and GASM8 firmware.
Enhanced ringing capability — ASM8+ and GASM8 provide a ringing
voltage of 2 REN/65 V rms per port.
Calling line identification (CLID)
The GASM8 is designated as an ONS (on-premise station) port.
Note: Due to power constraints, a maximum of 2 GASM MBM’s are supported
in the main unit. Up to 4 GASM units can be installed in the expansion unit.
4x16 Media Bay Module
The 4x16 MBM provides both analog trunk and digital telephone connections.
The 4x16 MBM provides connections for four analog lines and 16 digital
telephones. Each of the four analog lines support caller ID and disconnect
supervision. An auxiliary port next to the Line 1 port enables you to use an
analog telephony device, such as a modem, fax, or telephone, to share the
trunk.
NN40011-003 Issue 1.2 BCM450 Rls 6.0 11
Media Bay Modules
Global 4x16 and Global 8x16 Module
This is a combination module that provides 16 Digital Extensions and either 4
or 8 analog lines (version dependant).
Fibre Expansion Module
The Fibre Expansion Module (FEM) allows legacy Norstar Expansion Modules
(for connecting extensions and trunks) to be connected to the BCM450. This
would be used in installations whereby a Norstar with existing Expansion
Modules was being replaced by the BCM450. The existing Norstar Expansion
Modules would be connected via fibre cables to the fibre ports on the FEM.
Note: The FEM can only be installed in the main unit, not in the expansion
unit.
Note: Only one FEM per main unit is supported.
12 NN40011-003 Issue 1.2 BCM450 Rls 6.0
Media Bay Modules
Fibre Ports – Connect to
Norstar Expansion Modules
Up to 6 Norstar Expansion Modules can be connected via fibre cables to the
FEM. Supported Norstar Expansion Modules are:
Global Line Module (Norstar Trunk Module in Element Manager)
Extension Module (Norstar Station Module in Element Manager)
Analog Extension Module (Norstar Analog Station Module in Element
Manager)
Note: Norstar Central Control Unit connection to the FEM is not supported.
Note: ―Daisy chaining‖ of Norstar Analog Extension Modules (AEM) is not
supported on the BCM450, i.e. only one Norstar AEM can be connected to
each FEM fibre port.
Telephony Resources & Media Bay Modules
Media Bay Modules are installed in the BCM450 main and expansion units.
The BCM450 does not auto-detect the MBM type, and therefore configuration
has to take place
BCM450 uses the Dynamic Device Configuration feature, whereby extension
(station) and line numbers can be dynamically configured per MBM.
Therefore, extension and line numbers are not defined by location allocation
within Telephony Resources, as was the case with the BCM200 and BCM400
platforms. Default extension and line numbers exist, but these can be
changed as required.
Telephony Resource allocation is determined differently depending on
whether or not MBM’s will be installed in the BCM450 main unit or the
expansion unit (if utilising):
NN40011-003 Issue 1.2 BCM450 Rls 6.0 13
Media Bay Modules
Main Unit: There are 4 Media Bays available, termed MBM1, MBM2,
MBM3, and MBM4. Physical location determines the Telephony
Resources location.
Expansion Unit: There are 6 Media Bays available. Dipswitch
configuration determines the Telephony Resources location. MBM’s
can be installed in any bay in the expansion unit.
Rules concerning MBM locations are greatly simplified resulting in greater
flexibility. Listed below are rules governing the MBM location:
If you are installing a DSM32(+) insert it into MBM slot 1, as this is pre-
configured in Telephony Resources.
FEM modules can only be installed into the main unit.
Main Unit MBM Locations
As previously described, the physical location of the MBM’s determines the
Telephony Resource location. There are 4 bays available, which relate to
Telephony Resources locations MBM1 – 4 as below:
Main MBM 1 is pre-configured to be a DSM32(+). This is the only preconfigured module.
Expansion Unit MBM Locations
If more than 4 Media Bay Modules are required to fulfill capacity requirements,
then an expansion unit will be needed. Dipswitches determine which
Telephony Resources location each MBM will use. BCM450 displays what the
dipswitch settings should be for each MBM.
14 NN40011-003 Issue 1.2 BCM450 Rls 6.0
Media Bay Modules
An example installation with 6 MBM’s in the expansion unit is shown below.
The Media Bay Modules can be installed in any bay in the expansion unit.
Note: A keycode is required to enable the expansion unit.
Configuring Media Bay Modules in Telephony Resources
When you have obtained the Media Bay Modules and determined their
locations in either the main or expansion units, the Telephony Resource
configuration can be performed.
1. Launch Element Manager and connect to your BCM450.
2. In the Configuration tab, open the Resources folder and click on
Telephony Resources.
3. The Main MBM 1 location is configured as a DSM32/DSM32+ MBM, as
most installations will use this MBM.
NN40011-003 Issue 1.2 BCM450 Rls 6.0 15
Media Bay Modules
4. Set the other MBM’s to the correct type by double-clicking in the
Configured Device field, and selecting the MBM type to be installed in
the associated bay.
5. When the required MBM type has been selected, the Configure button
becomes active. Click on the Configure button to configure extension
or line allocations to the MBM.
6. The Configure dialog box will appear. You can accept the defaults or
configure new extension (station) or line (trunk) information:
Station Module: Accept the defaults or configure the Start DN,
Public received digits/OLI, and Private received digits/OLI. The
received digits and OLI information will be assigned sequentially to
the number of stations available on that module. There is also the
16 NN40011-003 Issue 1.2 BCM450 Rls 6.0
Media Bay Modules
option of assigning Target Lines to the extensions on the MBM. Tick
the Assign target lines check box to do this.
Trunk Module: Accept the default Start Line number or enter a new
starting line number for the trunks presented on the MBM.
Note: There must be enough DN’s available in the system to populate the
entire MBM being configured, otherwise you will not be able to configure the
MBM and it will not function.
Note: There must be enough consecutive line numbers available in the
system to populate the entire MBM being configured, otherwise you will not be
able to configure the MBM and it will not function.
Note: Received Digits and OLI settings can be configured in other areas of
Element Manager, such as Telephony, Active Sets. However, configuring
these settings in Telephony Resources is a convenient and time saving
method, if feasible on your installation.
7. Click on OK when you have entered the required settings.
8. If you are not using the BCM expansion unit in the installation, skip to
step 12 in this section.
