Chapter 9 Connecting the cables to the BCM50 system 107

BCM50 Installation and Maintenance Guide

If your BCM50 system does not have an expansion unit, proceed to Connecting the power supply

on page 108.

To connect an expansion unit

1 Locate the expansion cable supplied with the expansion unit.

If have no expansion cable, you can use a shielded category 5e-compliant Ethernet cable

(maximum length of 10 m).

2 Plug one end of the expansion cable into the expansion port on the expansion unit.

3 Perform one of the following tasks (see the figure Connecting the expansion unit to the

BCM50 main unit on page 107):

• To connect the first expansion unit: Plug the other end of the expansion cable into

expansion/LAN port 2 on the main unit. This expansion unit is now designated as

Expansion 1 in Element Manager.

• To connect the second expansion unit: Plug the other end of the expansion cable into

expansion/LAN port 3 on the main unit. This expansion unit is now designated as

Expansion 2 in Element Manager.

Note: Keycodes are required for the expansion ports to function. If you purchase a

keycode for one expansion port only, expansion/LAN port 2 (on the left) is active.

Note: When you plug an expansion unit into the correct port on the main unit, the

LEDs on the expansion unit port light, while the LEDs on the main unit port turn

off.
