Installing telephones and peripherals

You can add telephones and peripherals before or after you initialize your system.

Telephone configurations are determined by which station module you are using, and what DS30 bus settings you chose for the module. Refer to Chapter 2, “Telephony hardware,” on page 33, Chapter 4, “Selecting the media bay modules for your system,” on page 57, and Chapter 7, “Setting media bay module DIP switches,” on page 83.

The system creates default settings for the telephone DN records when it is first initialized. The settings are based on which telephony profile you choose when you run the Quick Start Wizard. To change these settings, use the Unified Manager application, System DNs headings. Specific instructions for configuring telephone operation through the Unified Manager are contained in the Business Communications Manager Programming Operations Guide.

Note: Programming occurs on the set when the Business Communications Manager recognizes the set on the system.

System telephones

The Business Communications Manager system supports a number of analog, digital, IP telephony and cordless telephones. Refer to “Telephones and adapters” on page 48 for a description of these telephones.

Analog telephones are supported either through analog modules (ASMs) or by connecting to a digital module through an Analog Terminal Adapter 2 (ATA2).

Documentation describing installation and set features is supplied with each piece of equipment.

Caution: Off-premises extensions (OPX) are only supported on an ASM8+. Digital and all other analog telephones must not be installed on any connections not protected by building equipment.

Analog terminal adapter

The Analog Terminal Adapter 2 (ATA 2) connects a standard analog voice device or data communication device to a digital line connector on a media bay module on the BCM1000.

Refer to the installation instructions that come with the module for proper installation. Also refer to the ATA Installation and Configuration Guide and the Analog Telephone User Guide.
