•Element Manager access is also supported through a Citrix server

For information on downloading and installing Element Manager, refer to “Using Element Manager to set the basic parameters” on page 45.

Page 64, Explaining double density

The paragraph at the top of page 64 should be deleted, since Companion is not supported and PDD is not required.

Default BCM 3.0 and newer systems are configured as Partial Double Density (PDD) systems, in that they maintain DS30 06 and 07 in the original configuration of 16 DNs per bus. This accommodates those systems which use Companion. The system can be set to Full Double Density (FDD) at system startup or once the system is setup. When the system is set to FDD, DS30 06 and 07 allow access to the second set of DNs, and they are no longer available for Companion operation.

Page 64, Setting offsets

The following paragraph should be changed as follows:

For station modules, each bus supports 16 telephones or telephony devices for station modules that support single density, or which are set to single density in the case of the DSM16+ and DSM32+, or on DS30 06 and 07 if the system remains set to Partial Double Density (PDD). On each bus that supports double density, DSM16+ and DSM32+ modules set to double density have access to eight telephones per offset, for a total of 32 telephones per DS30 bus if the offsets are fully loaded.

The fourth bullet should be replaced with the following:

•within the temperature ranges of 0°C and 40°C (32°F and 104°F)

Page 70, Electrical requirements

The second bullet should be replaced with the following:

•The supplied power must be 100/240 V AC, 50/60 Hz, and 10 A minimum service with a third-wire safety ground. The third-wire safety ground provides shock protection and prevents electromagnetic interference.

BCM 1000 specifications

Nortel Networks BCM 1000, short for Business Communication Manager, is a robust communications solution designed to meet the needs of small to medium-sized businesses. First introduced in the early 2000s, the BCM 1000 has evolved to offer a wide array of features, enabling businesses to enhance productivity while reducing operational costs.

One of the standout features of the BCM 1000 is its integrated voice and data capabilities. The system allows users to manage voice calls via the traditional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) as well as Voice over IP (VoIP). This versatility enables organizations to streamline their communication channels and facilitates remote work environments.

In terms of scalability, the BCM 1000 is a flexible option. It can accommodate up to 200 users while supporting various configurations to adapt as a business grows. This feature is particularly appealing for organizations that anticipate expansion, as they can derive maximum utility from their initial investment.

The BCM 1000 also integrates seamlessly with various third-party applications, enhancing its functionality. Businesses can connect customer relationship management systems (CRM) and other software to streamline operations further. Moreover, the system features advanced telephony applications such as voicemail, auto attendant, and unified messaging, which help streamline communication processes.

Another significant aspect of the BCM 1000 is its reliability. Built on Nortel’s long-standing reputation for quality telecommunications equipment, the BCM 1000 boasts redundancy and failover capabilities. This means that even in the event of a hardware failure, service continuity is maintained, ensuring that communication lines remain open.

Security is another critical feature of the BCM 1000. The system incorporates encryption protocols and supports secure access, safeguarding sensitive business communications from potential threats.

In conclusion, Nortel Networks BCM 1000 is a comprehensive communication platform that encapsulates essential features, including scalability, versatility, and reliability. By integrating voice and data capabilities within a single system, it effectively supports businesses striving for effective communication and operational efficiency. As organizations continue to evolve with technology, the BCM 1000 stands out as a proven solution that meets contemporary business communication needs.
