System Overview
BCM50e
The BCM50e in Figure 2 provides call processing and data-routing features and is suitable for
networks that require datarouting capability using an integrated Ethernet router. The WAN
interface port provides 10/100 Ethernet with autosensing and autopolarity. If you have existing or
alternative WAN access technology, you can still benefit from the VoIP features of the BCM50.
