Telephones
The BCM can communicate using digital telephones (7000, 7100, 7100N, T7208, 7208, 7208N,
7316, 7316E, 7316E+KIMs, 7310), cordless telephones (7406), and IP telephones and applications
(Nortel IP Phone 2001, IP Phone 2002, IP Phone 2004, Nortel i2050 Software Phone) 2007/
11XX. With this much flexibility, the BCM can provide the type of service you require to be most
productive in your business.
While analog and digital telephones cannot be connected to the BCM system with an IP
connection, they can make and receive calls to and from other systems through VoIP trunks. Calls
received through the VoIP trunks to system telephones are received through the LAN or WAN
card and are translated within the BCM to voice channels.
Gatekeepers
A gatekeeper tracks IP addresses of specified devices, and provides routing and (optionally)
authorization for making and accepting calls for those devices. A gatekeeper is not required as part
of the network to which your BCM system is attached, but gatekeepers can be useful on networks
with a large number of devices.
When planning your network, be sure to consider all requirements for a data network. Consult
your network administrator for information on network setup and how the BCM fits into the
network.
SIP Proxy
The SIP proxy routes calls that are not defined in the routing table. If the dialed digits do not match
any of the predefined routing strings, the call is sent to the proxy IP address and then the proxy
routes the call.
IP Network
WAN
A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a communications network that covers a wide geographic area,
such as state or country. For BCM, a WAN is any IP network connected to a WAN card on the
BCM system. This may also be a direct connection to another BCM system.
Note: Model 7000 phones are supported in selected markets only.
