General information

The R2MFC MBM is a media bay module (MBM) that provides MFC-R2 connectivity over an E1

trunk. The module works as a converter between Euro-ISDN and MFC-R2 protocols, allowing the

MFC-R2 protocol E1 to work directly with the BCM without the use of an external converter. The

BCM recognizes the converter as a Euro-ISDN trunk MBM and, therefore, provides all of the

functionality on the MFC-R2 E1 that is available on a Euro-ISDN E1. The MFC-R2 trunk is

controlled by DIP switches and the Command Line Interface (CLI) on the R2MFC MBM. Figure 1

provides an illustration of the R2MFC MBM.
