Changing the DS30 split
You can change the DS30 bus allocation to a 3/5 split to accommodate increased IP telephony or 
VoIP trunk requirements. You do this by assigning DS30 07 to the voice data sector. This choice 
should be made at system startup, but a default system can be changed through the Unified 
Manager to a 3/5 split after startup if IP requirements increase. At startup, you indicate the split 
you want when you run the Quick Start Wizard. Refer to the Programming Operations Guide for 
details.
 shows a model of how the DS30 bus blocks are a subgroup of the DS256 bus on the 
MSC. The diagram also shows offsets, which are a subgroup of the DS30 blocks.
Figure 25   DS30 bus model
DS30 bus numbers are set using the number 4, 5, and 6 DIP switches on the back or underside of 
the media bay modules. The exception is the FEM module. The FEM DIP switches turn on ports, 
each of which consumes one DS30 bus.
Explaining Double Density
BCM 3.0 software introduced the concept of single and double density for DS30 buses supporting 
station modules. On these buses the B2 bus blocks are reconfigured as B1 bus blocks, thereby, 
doubling telephone capacity. However, only DSM16+, DSM32+ and ASM/GASM8 modules can 
support the second set of DNs. The DSM16+ and DSM32+ modules can be configured for either 
single density, which access only the top 16 DNs, or double density, which accesses all 32 DNs.
Warning: 
If you change the DS30 split from 3/5 to 2/6 after your system is configured, 
you will lose all the data and optional application connections.
