Configuring the Fibre Expansion Module
The Fibre Expansion Module (FEM) has a slightly different – but not
inconsistent – configuration method. Up to 6 Norstar Expansion Modules can
be connected to the BCM450 via the FEM. Each Norstar Expansion Module
will need to be configured individually in Telephony Resources.
Note: The FEM may only be installed in the BCM main unit. It is not supported
in the expansion unit.
The available Configured Device types for the Norstar Expansion Modules
within Telephony Resources are as follows:
 Norstar TM (Trunk Module) – Norstar Global Line Module
containing Analog or BRI cards
 Norstar SM (Station Module) – Norstar Extension Module,
supporting up to 16 digital extensions
 Norstar ASM (Analog Station Module) – Analog Extension Module,
supporting up to 8 Analog extensions (BCM450 does not support
daisy-chaining of Norstar Analog Extension Modules).
Use the following procedure to configure the FEM.
1. Launch Element Manager and connect to your BCM450.
2. In the Configuration tab, open the Resources folder and click on
Telephony Resources.
