Description
A shelf designed for mounting up to four BCM50 units (main unit and expansion unit)
into a standard 19-inch equipment rack. An optional patch field, which provides RJ-45
connectors for all main unit trunk and station interfaces, is available.
A bracket designed for mounting a BCM50 unit (main unit or expansion unit) to a wall.
An optional wiring field card (WFC), which provides RJ-45 connectors for all main unit
trunk and station interfaces, is available with the wallmount bracket.
The patch panel simplifies the connections of lines and extensions to the main unit.
The patch panel installs into the rackmount shelf in a standard equipment rack and
connects to the telephony connector.
The WFC simplifies the connections of lines and extensions to the main unit. The
WFC installs into the cable management tray of the wallmount bracket and connects
to the telephony connector through a 50-pin header.
The power supply is an external device that connects to the BCM50 units (main unit
and expansion unit). You must have one power supply for each unit you have in your
BCM50 system. A power supply is included with each main unit and expansion unit.
The power supply adapter cord is for international (non-North American) BCM50
users. It connects to the power supply on one end and to the (C-14) BCM50 power
bar on the other end.
You require one power supply adapter cord for each power supply you want to
connect to the power bar.
An uninterruptable power supply (UPS) is an optional device that maintains
continuous operation during power interruption or failure conditions. The UPS
provides power source monitoring and battery backup activation so that critical
BCM50 functionality is maintained.
BCM50 supports American Power Conversion (APC) UPS devices that use a USB
control interface. The UPS control software enables the configuration of various
operational settings.
The USB port on the UPS uses a different communication speed than the USB port
on the main unit. Due to this difference, you must use a USB hub to connect the UPS
data connection to the main unit. The USB hub also provides additional USB ports.
