Installation and Maintenance Guide
Business Communications Manager expansion unit
The BCM1000e houses a maximum of six additional media bay modules. The cable that comes
with the expansion unit connects into a DS256 port on the MSC of the BCM1000, and into a
DS256 port on the center panel of the BCM1000e. Refer to Figure 12.
This cable, called a Category 5, DS256 or RJ45 cable, must be 5 m (16 ft.) long.

Note: The number of modules that actually can be installed is determined by the number
of DS30 channels required by the modules and the number of channels available.
