CONNECTIONS

This section explains the connections made in BFM installations.

Powering a BFM System

Both the BFM1 and BFM2 can be powered by a standard PoE switch or 
a PoE power supply (external or ClearOne; up to three BFM2 units can 
be powered by one ClearOne PoE Injector). Additionally, the BFM2 can 
be powered via a P-Link from CONVERGE Pro 2 (a single cable carries 
power, audio and control).
