System schedule settings and services scheduling
Use scheduled services to control how calls are answered in off-hours (Ringing Groups), how calls
are routed at various times of the day, and how restrictions are applied on lines and telephones at
specific times of the day.
The following paths indicate where to access scheduled services in Element Manager and through
Telset Administration:
The Scheduled Services - Settings and Schedules panel has three distinct areas for configuration.
•The table in the top frame allows you to determine which schedules are active for the system
for routing, restriction, and ringing schedules.
•The table in the top frame to the right sets the time periods within each schedule for each day
of the week.
•The table in the bottom frame allows you to rename schedules.

you to delete a current entry, and add a new password. Make a note of the password; the panel
displays only asterisks.
Configuring schedule names and timers
The tables on this panel allow you to change the names of the schedules, and to determine when
the schedules, which are set to automatically execute, are deployed. Any changes to these settings
affect all services that use schedules.

About start and stop times
Here are some general rules about setting start and stop times:
•It is only necessary to program start and stop times for schedules that are activated
automatically.
•The time may be entered in either 12 or 24-hour format. If the display is in English, and the
hour entered is less than 13, the display prompts you to specify AM or PM.
•If you assign identical start and stop times for a schedule, for example, 04:00 start and 04:00
stop, the schedule is in effect all day. The only exception to this is a start and stop time of
00:00; in this case the schedule is off for the day.
•You may assign overlapping times. For example, if schedule 1 is assigned from 9:00 a.m. to
4:00 p.m. and schedule 2 is assigned from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., then the start time of the
second schedule is treated as a stop time for the first schedule. This is also true if two
schedules have the same start time but different stop times. The stop time of the shorter
schedule is treated as the start time of the longer schedule.
•If one schedule starts and stops within the times of another schedule, the first service
temporarily ends when the second service starts. The first service then resumes when the
second service has ended.
•Some schedules start and stop at the same times each day: use COPY to copy the start and
stop times from one day to the next.
Warning: Start and stop times do not span days. When you program a
schedule to start in the evening and stop in the morning, it does not carry
over into the next day. For example, if you program Night service for Friday
(22:00 to 6:00), the system turns on Night service from midnight to 6 am on
Friday, and then again from 10 p.m. to midnight on Friday, as shown in the
diagram below.

DN records parameters
The DN record defines the specific function of each telephone within the system.
The following paths indicate where to access DN record parameters in Element Manager and
through Telset Administration:
•Element Manager: Configuration > Telephony > Sets > All DNs
•Telset interface: **CONFIG > Terminals and Sets
Other areas of programming that affect how each telephone functions include:
•system settings (“Global telephony settings” on page 73)
•telephone model
The DN records panel is a multilayered panel with multiple tabs. Although all panels show up for
all models, not all models require configuration for all panels. Refer to the task and feature
programming links to determine specific configuration. For information on programming a
Doorphone refer to the BST Doorphone documentation.

AttributeValueDescription
Chapter 6 DN records parameters45
DN<numeric>This number is unique to each telephone record. The number
identifies the telephone to the system. DN start digits and DN length
are configured during system setup.
Digital and analog telephone DNs map one-to-one with ports on
module connections. IP telephone DNs do not map to specific ports;
however, a keycode is required to activate the feature.
This heading appears for telephones in the digital DN range, from
the Start DN (default: 221) up to DN 433. Choose the setting that is
appropriate for the telephone you want to configure.
This field is read-only if the telephone is already attached or
registered to the system.
•7310/7316: also 7406 cordless digital phone
•7316E: also for 7316E digital phone with KIMs
(Model 7000 phones are supported in Europe only)
Use this field to provide a more specific description of the telephone,
such as the last name of the user, the location, or the actual
extension number if it is different than the DN number.
Also refer to “Programming name display (outgoing)” in the BCM 4.0 Networking Configuration Guide (N0060606).
BCM 4.0 Device Configuration Guide
46Chapter 6 DN records parameters
Table 8 Common columns for the main panels (Sheet 2 of 2)
AttributeValueDescription
Port<port number>This number indicates the port number to which this DN
corresponds.
A group of port numbers relates to a specific station module
installed in your BCM. If you change the DN for a telephone, the port
number remains the same.
If you physically move a telephone with the relocation feature turned
on, the DN transfers to the new port, and the DN for that port
transfers to the vacated location.
Line Access tab
The Line Access tab displays the DNs table. Line access programming is performed using the four
tabs that appear in the details panel when a DN is selected. Refer to Figure 8.

Table 9 describes these fields.
Table 9 Line Access tab fields (Sheet 1 of 2)
Chapter 6 DN records parameters47
AttributeValueDescription
Pub. OLI <up to 12 digits> This setting defaults to the DN of the device. The Public Network
Code concatenates to the beginning of this number to create the
entire public network number. The length of this number is
dependent on the country requirements.
This line identification number (OLI) appears on the telephone called
from this telephone over the public network. Also refer to “Public
network settings” in the BCM 4.0 Networking Configuration Guide
(N0060606).
North America: If the OLI contains the public network code, the
information in the Public Network code field is ignored. Therefore, it
is recommended that OLIs be programmed to the public received
number length, only. This allows a global change if the Public
Network Code is changed.
Also refer to “Configuring CLID on your system” in the BCM 4.0 Networking Configuration Guide (N0060606).
Priv. OLI<numeric>Define the originating line identification number (OLI) that appears
on the telephone being called from this telephone over a private
network.
Note: On systems running DID, this field is populated automatically
with the DN.
If the DN length or the Received # length are changed to be different
from each other, this field is cleared.
Also refer to “Configuring CLID on your system” in the BCM 4.0 Networking Configuration Guide (N0060606).
*If your system allows outgoing name and number blocking, the telephone must have a valid OLI.

Renumbering DNs
Your system auto-assigns DNs based on the hardware for digital telephones. In the case of IP
telephones, you can choose to auto-assign DNs when the telephones register to the system.
When you change a DN, the DN record retains the same port number, because the telephone is not
being moved physically. The original DN then assigns to the port vacated by the DN that you
assign as the new DN. If you fill the DN/Port record in the Programming Records, remember to
change the entries.
Change telephone DNs using the Element Manager
There are two panels in Element Manager from which you can change the DN setting:
•Element Manager: Configuration > Telephony > Sets > Active Sets
•Element Manager: Configuration > Telephony > Dialing Plan
The procedure is the same in both panels.

Answer DN answer key levels
You can determine what type of calls alert at an assigned Answer DN key. This is a system setting,
so all Answer DNs behave the same.
There are three answer key levels: Basic, Enhanced, and Extended. If your system supports
overflow routing of calls (for example, Hunt groups), the setting is Enhanced or Extended.
Alternatively, if Contact Center telephones are assigned Answer DNs, this setting must be Basic.
Do not change this setting unless you understand the impact on the other telephone groups in your

Telephony system and device programming
The following list provides links to the telephone and telephony system programming areas of the
system.
Within the context of the network, system telephones act as call end points or call initiation
devices.
•To make or receive calls, telephones must be set up with the correct line assignments.
•To make calls, users must know the correct destination codes and dial strings to reach other
internal or external devices.
Refer to the BCM 4.0 Networking Configuration Guide (N0060606) for connections to the
sections that describe line setup and numbering plans.
How telephones handle incoming and outgoing call traffic is determined by telephone features.
Some telephone features are set up for the entire system, while other parameters are configured on
a per-device basis.

resources can support. The modules on these caps are referred to as ordinary KIMs (OKIMs),
and the buttons on the module support only memory button programming.
•A Station Auxiliary Power Supply (SAPS) is not required for 7316E digital phones attached to
four or fewer KIMs. If the KIMs are designated as eKIMs, you can only attach a maximum of
four modules to a 7316E. If the KIMs are designated as OKIMs, you can attach up to nine
modules to the 7316E. You must add a SAPS if more than four KIMs are added to the 7316E.
Note also that the line loop to the CAP cannot be greater than 304.8 m (1000 feet).
•If a KIM module is relocated with the telephone, the settings are retained on the module.
•Replacing CAPs: If you replace a legacy eCAP (7324+CAP) with a 7316E+eKIM, the line
assignments are copied to the new telephone, but not to the eKIM. The telephone
programming reverts to the default settings for other buttons. Also, if you move an eKIM from
one 7316E to another, programming does not follow.
If you move an OKIM from one 7316E to another, the KIM retains memory button
programming.
•Legacy equipment notes: A SAPS is required for 7324 digital phones that have one or more
CAP modules attached.
Programming CAP/KIM buttons
Designating features or autodial numbers to the eKIM buttons can be performed using the
CAP/KIM Button Programming panel.
To program module buttons
1Click Configuration > Telephony > Sets > Active Sets:
2Click the Capabilities and Preferences tab.
3Select the DN for the CAP you want to configure.

4In the lower panel, click the CAP/KIM Button Programming tab.
5Select the line for the button number that you want to program.
6Configure the feature or autodial on the button.
For a detailed description of each field, refer to “Capabilities and Preferences - Button
Programming tab” on page 60.
Note: You cannot assign lines, target lines, or Hunt group indicators using button
programming. These must be performed through assigning lines to the telephone (“Line
Access - Line Assignment tab” on page 48), and, for hunt groups, configuring the
telephone as a Hunt group member (“Hunt Group members and lines” on page 105). These
lines are either moved to the modules, or overflow to the module, if the telephone buttons
cannot accommodate the new settings.
You cannot assign Hunt group DNs as an autodial button on the KIM modules.
Managing lines on a KIM
If the 7316E+KIM is configured as an eCAP, you can move lines onto the module using
FEATURE*81 on the telephone. You can also reassign Hunt group designators to the KIM
module by using the same feature.
You can also force lines onto the KIM by assigning more lines than the telephone buttons can
support. Extra lines automatically flow over to the module; however they flow sequentially,
starting on the top left at button 01. Also, they overwrite any existing programming on the KIM,
except existing line or hunt group (KIM) assignments.
Any of the buttons, without assigned lines, can be programmed to dial internal or external numbers
automatically, or to access a feature. Refer to “Programming CAP/KIM buttons” on page 95.

Creating ring groups
Assigning telephones to ringing groups provides a way to ensure that all calls can be answered,
regardless of the time of day, or day of the week. The most common use of this feature is when a
security desk telephone rings for incoming lines after 5:00 p.m., a practice often called night service.
The following paths indicate where to configure ring groups in Element Manager and through
Telset Administration:
•Element Manager: Configuration > Telephony > Ring Groups
•Telset interface: **CONFIG > Services > Ringing service > Ringing Groups
Click one of the following links to connect with the type of information you want to view:

Each non-auto-answer line and target line can be assigned a ringing group for each schedule. If no
schedule is set for ringing services, lines ring at any telephones with the lines assigned.
Note: VoIP trunking lines and PRI lines are set automatically to auto-answer
and, therefore, require target lines. BRI lines set to auto-answer also ring at
target lines. Therefore, by specifying target lines in a ring group, all
auto-answer lines can be forwarded to the telephones indicated.

Ring Groups - Members
The Ring Groups table on the Group Membership tab in the top frame of this panel is a read-only
list of the 100 ring groups available to the system.
When you click a ring group in the table, the Members table appears in the bottom panel.
The Group Membership panel allows you to define which telephones belong to each ring group.
A DN can be associated with multiple ring groups.

Ring Groups - Line Settings tab
The Line Settings tab allows you to schedule where calls coming in on a specific line, or target
line, ring during a scheduled period.
The following paths indicate where to configure line settings for ring groups in Element Manager
and through Telset Administration:
•Element Manager: Configuration > Telephony > Ring Groups
•Telset interface: **CONFIG > Lines
There are two frames on this panel:
•The top panel displays all lines that are available for programming as part of the ring group.
This does not include VoIP trunks and PRI lines. For both these types of lines, you would use
target lines.
•When you select a line on the top panel, the Lines Settings panel appears in the bottom of the
panel. Use this table to specify schedule settings for each line.

when Ringing service is on.
Tips:
•The default ringing telephone is 221 (Start DN). This means that all lines
ring at telephone 221 when Ringing service is on.
•If you have an auxiliary ringer programmed to ring for calls on an external
line, and you transfer a call on that line without announcing the transfer,
the auxiliary ringer rings for the call transfer.
