16Chapter 2 Documentation updates for BCM 4.0

To shutdown the system hardware

Warning: Remove all of the connections to the BCM system before you power down the system.

Failure to disconnect lines before you power down the system can cause damage to the system.

1Remove the DS256 cables from the front of the BCM main unit and, if present, the expansion unit. This includes the data connections on the MSC.

Mark the cables to ensure correct reconnection.

Warning: You must disconnect power from the main unit after you have performed an Element Manager shutdown. The main unit cannot start operating again until after power has been disconnected and then reconnected.

2Turn off the power switch located at the back of the BCM main unit and expansion unit.

3Disconnect the BCM main unit and expansion unit power cords from the AC outlet.

4Ensure you have room to access the part you are working on. Remove the BCM main unit from the rack, if necessary.

Pages 126–131, Setting initial system configurations

This section should be removed. The initial system configuration will be done after the rest of the equipment is installed.

Pages 131, Entering the software keycodes

This section should be removed. The keycode feature is discussed in another section of the addendum.

Pages 144-146, Telephone port and DN cross-reference

The Note on page 144 should be modified as follows.

Note: The following table is based on a system with three-digit DNs, with a start DN of 221. If your system has longer DNs, the system automatically adds a repeat of the first digit for each additional DN length unit. i.e. 221 becomes 2221. Also, note on the tables below that DN numbering differs between systems that were upgraded from BCM 2.5 software and systems that were new with BCM 3.0 or newer software.

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.
