Installing an emergency telephone

You can use the emergency telephone to make calls when there is no power to the Business Communications Manager hardware.

To install an emergency telephone on the Business Communications Manager system, connect a single line analog telephone to the auxiliary port on the CTM. When you make a call from the emergency telephone, the auxiliary port uses the telephone line connected to the Line 1 port of the CTM.

TIP: You can connect an emergency telephone to every CTM installed on your Business Communications Manager system.

Use the following steps to install the emergency telephone.

1Connect a single line analog telephone to the auxiliary port on the CTM.

2Connect an analog PSTN line cable to the Line 1 port of the CTM.

Installing IP telephones

The Business Communications Manager emobility strategy includes support for the Nortel Networks 20XX IP telephones, the Nortel Networks i2050 Software Phone, and the NetVision and the NetVision Data portable handsets.

The system can be set to automatically assign DNs to the Nortel IP telephones. If you choose to manually assign DNs, choose DNs from unused DNs in the digital range. However, port numbers are assigned from DS30 01 (Ports 0101-0132), first; then from DS30 08, if there are ports available, and DS30 07 if the system is running a 3/5 DS30 split. If no ports are available on those DS30 blocks, the system may assign digital set port numbers. Also ensure that you do not assign DNs that are assigned to Call Center mail boxes (CDNs).

NetVision DNs are assigned to the handsets through the H.323 section under IP Telephony on the Unified Manager. Use the DNs within the ranges described above. If no DN is specified in the record, the system will automatically assign one when the handset connects to the system. Programming notes: If the system is running DHCP, ensure that a static list of IP addresses has been assigned. In this case, the IP addresses must be assigned manually to each NetVision record.

For details about configuring DN records for the IP telephones, refer to the IP Telephony Configuration Guide. For configuring records for the NetVision telephones, refer to the IP Telephony Configuration Guide and the NetVision Phone Administrator Guide.
