The following accessories can be used with the BCM50 system:
Station auxiliary power supply (SAPS) — provides power for the central answering position
(CAP) when the 7316E is connected to five or more KIMs. Can also be used to extend the loop
length between a telephone or terminal and the BCM50 system from 1,000 to 2,600 feet. You must
use a dedicated cable to connect the two locations.
Analog Terminal Adapter 2 (ATA2) — converts digital signals to analog signals to allow
communication with analog devices such as fax machines, modems and answering machines. The
ATA2 supports a maximum transmission rate of 28.8 kbit/s. With a single-line telephone, the
ATA2 supports a long-loop configuration.
