Trunk media bay modules (MBMs)
You install the trunk MBMs in the BCM main unit or the BCM expansion unit. Trunk MBMs
connect telecommunications lines to the BCM system.
The type of MBM you install is determined by:
• which lines are available from your telephone service provider
• what lines you require for the types of telephones you want to use
• budget considerations
Table 8 lists the types of trunk MBMs that are available for the BCM system.
