BCM Rls 5.0 Configuration Guide For: MTS/Allstream SIP Trunking

1.0 Introduction

This configuration guide is to assist installers and administrators when connecting a BCM Release 5.0 system to
MTS/Allstream’s SIP Trunk service.

Release 5.0 introduces a “common” software release for both BCM50 and BCM450. Thus, “BCM” will refer to
BCM Release 5.0 and will not refer to any particular hardware platform (BCM50 or BCM450), unless otherwise
stated.

This document does not describe procedures to configure the BCM for advanced functionality. For more
information and procedures, please refer to the Nortel technical documentation found on the Nortel
website at http://support.nortel.com

This section provides what system softwar e versions were tested on the Nortel BCM50 Release 5.0 and
MTS/Allstream’s SIP Trunk Service.

Note

: Nortel recommends installing the latest Smart Update (SU) Patch, which will contain previous pat ches and
new fixes. The patches can be downloaded on the Nortel Technical Software Downloads Support site:

http://support.nortel.com/go/main.jsp

The BCM50 R5.0 was tested with BCM50 R5.0 SU Patch (BCM050 [1].R500.SU.System-001.200911-1) while
connected to the MTS/Allstream SIP Trunk service.

To achieve successful interoperability between the BCM and MTS/Allstream SIP Trunk service, the various
network elements must be running the version of software as shown below in Table 1:
