Connecting An External Music Source - Nortel BCM50 Installation And Maintenance Manual

Warning: The paging connections must not be connected to unprotected telephony
plant wiring.
Tip: Paging tips
External paging does not support talk back paging equipment unless you use an
external line port.
The BCM50 system provides paging over the telephone speakers when there is no
external paging equipment.

Connecting an external music source

Use this procedure to connect an external music source to the BCM50 system. You can use any
customer-supplied, approved, low power device as a music source. A music source includes
equipment such as a radio with a high impedance earphone jack.
Refer to the following sections for information on connecting an external music source:
• "Music source specifications"
• "To connect the music source using the music source jack" on page 110
• "To connect the music source using the RJ-21 telephony connector" on page 110
Music source specifications
Ensure that the music source follows these guidelines:
• Nominal input impedance is 3.3 kilohms.
• Nominal sensitivity of this interface returned to digital encoded PCM is -22 dBm0 for a 0.25 V
rms input signal.
• The input is limited so that the encoded analog content at the digital interface to the network
does not exceed -12 dBm when averaged over any three-second interval.
• The maximum non-clipped input level is 1 V rms.
• The interface is protected against ringing cross.
The music source jack is located on the front of the main unit. If you use the music source jack to
connect the music source, do not connect a music source to the music source pair on the RJ-21
telephony connector.
