Nortel Networks BCM50 Installing an emergency telephone, Central Answering Position CAP/eCAP

114Chapter 10 Installing telephones and peripherals

Refer to Chapter 11, “Installing the analog terminal adapter,” on page 117 for the requirements and procedure for installing the device.

Central Answering Position (CAP/eCAP)

A Central Answering Position (CAP) provides additional auto dial positions or additional line appearances.

The CAP consists of a T7316E telephone and from one to nine key indicator modules (KIMs). Each module provides 24 programmable keys with indicators. A telephone can be configured as an eCAP which allows it to support line appearances on the KIM buttons. If the telephone is configured as an eCAP, a maximum of four KIMs can be added (eKIMs). A T7316E/KIM configuration that is not configured as an eCAP can support up to nine KIMs. In this configuration, only memory button programming is supported. A supplementary power supply is required after the fifth KIM is added.

Note: Programming

The T7316E+eKIM does not support auto dial keys programmed with Hunt group DNs.

Refer to the CAP user card for instructions about using a CAP. For more information refer to the BCM50 Device Configuration Guide (N0027146).

Installing an emergency telephone

Note: You cannot connect an emergency telephone to a main unit. An emergency telephone can only be connected to an expansion unit with a caller ID trunk module (CTM) / global analog trunk module (GATM).

You can use the emergency telephone to make calls when there is no power to the BCM50 system.

To install an emergency telephone on the BCM50 system, connect a single line analog telephone to the auxiliary port on the CTM/GATM. 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/GATM.

TIP: You can connect an emergency telephone to every CTM installed on your BCM50 system.

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.
