Configuring Double Density
The BCM 3.0 and newer software configures the MSC so that it supports 32 ports for digital
telephones on DS30 buses 02 to 05. The
default system retains DS30 buses 06 and 07 as single
density to allow the deployment of existing Companion system. This system is called a partial
double density (PDD) system.
If you want to take advantage of the double density ability on all DS30 buses, you can set your
system to the full double density (FDD) setting after your system has been set up.
Updating your system to Full Double Density (FDD)
1 Click on the key beside BCM and Diagnostics .
2 Click on MSC.
3 On the top menu, click Configuration and select Double Density Mode .
Note: Changing the DS30 split from 2/6 to 3/5 will preserve the existing telephony data.
Any new device records will have default data.
Any change in DS30 split requires a restart of the Business Communications Manager for
the change to be applied.
!
Security note:
You cannot regress from a Full Double Density (FDD) system to a
Partial Double Density (PDD) system. Ensure that MSC configuration is only available to
high-level supervisory personnel (
“Managing system and user security access levels” on
page 117 ).
