— Two DS30 buses are exclusively dedicated to MSC resources. Five paths within these
buses have hard-coded applications. The other paths can be assigned to various
applications such as voice mail, dialup ISDN WAN, VoIP trunks, or IP telephony.
— Five DS30 buses are exclusively reserved for the media bay modules
— The sixth DS30 bus can be switched to accommodate media bay modules or more
channels for IP telephones or VoIP trunks. You control the use of the bus by your choice
of using either a 2/6 or 3/5 DS30 split. This is set when you run the Quick Start Wizard at
the initial startup of the system.
For more details about deciding which DS30 split configuration you want for your system,
refer to
configuring MSC Resources in the Business Communications Manager Programming
Operations Guide.
• PEC IIIs — The BCM1000 uses PEC IIIs to deliver increased capacity for digital signal
processing for voice mail, call center, FAX, VoIP trunks, IP telephony, and dialup ISDN WAN.
The basic system comes with two PEC IIIs. Two more can be added to accommodate
increased requirements for media processing. Refer to the chapter on configuring MSC
Resources in the Business Communications Manager Programming Operations Guide.
