The DSM 16 supports 16 Nortel handsets. It requires half a DS30 bus, and 1 media bay.
The DSM 32 supports 32 Nortel handsets. It requires one DS30 bus, and 1 media bay.
Both modules support the M series handsets and the new T series handsets


Note: BCM50/450: Module DIPs are set to the default - ALL "ON"- position, and must

After you set the DIP switches on a media bay module, you can install it in the BCM or an expansion unit - all bay slots are the same.

When adding a module, remember to tell the system what type of module is installed on each bus:

If a module status LED continues to flash, you have either an addressing conflict (check DIP switches), or a faulty module.

Remember, the BCM must be shut down before inserting or removing modules.
