FEM switch settings
The DIP switches on the underside of the FEM are used to turn the six ports on the front of the
module on or off. You need to turn a port on for each Norstar expansion module you want to
connect to the BCM system. Each port also occupies one full DS30 bus. Therefore, if you have a
fully configured, six-module Norstar system to convert, you must turn on all six ports on the FEM,
and, therefore, no other module can be installed in the BCM system.
To turn on a fiber port, set the DIP switch for the corresponding DS30 bus, as shown in Table 46.
For example, if you want to use fiber port 2, turn on DIP switch 2 (DS30 3). After the module is
installed, an LED lights beside each active fiber port.
Table 46 shows the switch for each fiber port.

* The extensions listed are based on a three-digit DN with a Start DN of 221. If your system has longer DNs or a
different Start DN, enter the range in the blank column.
** If your system is configured with a 3/5 split, you cannot use DS30 7.
Note: The FEM module only supports connections to the Norstar trunk and station
expansion modules.

* If your system is configured with a 3/5 split, DS30 7 is not available.
Note: If you turn on all six switches, you are using all the DS30 numbers. In this case, the
BCM system can support only the FEM module. All other media bays must be empty.
