Moving and replacing telephones

When the Business Communications Manager system is on, you can replace a telephone with a new one and the new set will pick up the current programming, if it is the same model as the set that was removed. A new telephone is one that was not previously in service within the system.

For a description of the telephones that can be used on the Business Communications Manager system, refer to “Telephones and adapters” on page 48.

For information on installing and replacing the 20XX IP telephones, refer to the IP Telephone Configuration Guide.

Determining the status of a telephone

To discover the system status of a telephone, you must know the DN of the set and which port on the Business Communications Manager the set is connected to. If the tables in Chapter 13, “Installing optional telephony equipment,” on page 157 were filled out when the telephone were installed, refer to them to determine the port each set is attached to.

To find out the status of a set:

1Open the Unified Manager.

2Click on the keys beside Resources, Media Bay Modules.

3Click on the bus number (DS30 bus) assigned to the media bay modules supporting the telephone line.

Note: IP telephones are listed under DS30 01. Ports for IP telephones are automatically assigned as the telephones are registered to the system.

4Click Port #.

Port # is the port connected to the telephone.

5Click Channels.

6Click on B1 or B2 to view the appropriate DN number.
