Networking with BCM50 2.0
The BCM50 2.0 is a key building block in creating your communications network. It interoperates
with many devices, including the Meridian 1 system and H.323 devices. The BCM50 2.0 system
can be connected to devices through multiple IP networks, as well as through the PSTN. Multiple
BCM50 2.0 systems also can be linked together on a network of VoIP trunks and/or dedicated
physical lines.
The BCM50 2.0 can be connected to a LAN through a the integrated interface LAN card, and to a
PSTN through trunk media bay modules, as shown for BCM50 2.0 A in
Figure 10 . Through these
networks, the system accesses other systems and network equipment connected to the network.
