FEM Modules

[RYLSFAN]

Can 2 FEM modules be used on the same BCM? I have 2 FEM and an exp cabinet. Is this a valid configuration?

TIA

Each FEM uses one DS-30 Bus, so if you have the available resources, then I should say yes,

Any other comments anyone.....

From the BCM install guide.

"The fiber expansion module (FEM) allows you to connect a maximum of six Norstar expansion
modules to a Business Communications Manager. Each FEM connection requires one DS30
channel, therefore, the Business Communications Manager used for this purpose can only support
one FEM module if you are converting a fully-configured Norstar system."

You can only put one FEM in the BCM switch.. As far as resources are concerned.. And even then you'd have to be working with a 2/6 split not a 3/5...
