Features
See the following sections for information found in this document.
Dynamic Device Configuration
Although Dynamic Device Configuration is not available for BCM50 Release
5.0, the Telephony Resources screen has been aligned with the BCM450
version. For more information about Dynamic Device Configuration, see
Dynamic Device Configuration for BCM450 (page 16).
Call logs
The number of spaces for call logs has been increased to 1000 for BCM50
systems, and to 3000 for BCM450 systems. For more information about
configuring call logs, see Configuring call logs (page 132). For more
information about increased scalability options for BCM50 and BCM450
systems with Release 5.0, see Nortel Business Communications Manager 5.0
Configuration—System (NN40170-501), or Nortel Business Communications
Manager 5.0 System Overview (NN40170-103).
Find Me/Follow Me
Find Me/Follow Me allows simultaneous ringing of up to five different external
destinations. Users and administrators can configure these destination
numbers. You can configure Find Me/Follow Me based on the time and day by
configuring schedules. Using Find Me/Follow Me, you can pick up a call either
at your primary extension (your desk phone for example) or at one of the five
external destinations, such as a cell phone, your home phone, or another
phone. When you answer the call at one destination the other alerting calls are
disconnected. By doing this, the Find Me/Follow Me feature reduces the
chance of missed calls. You can then transfer the answered call back and forth
between your desk phone and other devices in your list of Find Me/Follow Me
external destinations. For more information about configuring Find Me/Follow
Me, see Nortel Business Communications Manager Find Me/Follow Me
Administration Guide (40010-678) and Nortel Business Communications
Manager User Guide (NN40010-118).
Professional Call Recording
The professional call recording feature records a call from the time that you
request to record the call until the call ends. The feature supports recording a
conference call hosted or joined by a DN. For more information about
Professional Call Recording, see Nortel Busines Communications Manager
5.0 Configuration—Telephony (NN40170-502), and Nortel Business
Communications Manager 5.0 Planning and Engineering (NN40170-200).
The information in this section applies to both the BCM50 and the BCM450
platforms running BCM 5.0.
This guide describes how to configure and assign features to Nortel Business
Communications Manager (BCM) 5.0 telephony devices through Telset and
through Element Manager.
The concepts, operations, and tasks described in this guide relate to the BCM
5.0 software. This guide provides task-based information about how to assign
features and provide basic programming for the Business Communications
Manager.
Use Element Manager, Startup Profile, and Telset Administration to configure
various BCM parameters.
In brief, the information in this guide explains:
•global telephony settings
•steps to configure DNs
•product features and how to assign them
The BCM 5.0 system provides private network and telephony management
capability to small and medium-sized businesses.
The information in this section applies to both the BCM50 and the BCM450
platforms running BCM 5.0.
This section gives an overview about configuring and assigning features to
telephony devices through Telset and through Element Manager.

Configuration methods
You can configure devices through Business Element Manager in different
ways. Two of the device configuration methods are Dynamic Device
Configuration (DDC) and Set Template Programming.
Attention: Dynamic Device Configuration method is applicable only to
BCM450.
The BCM450 locates and assigns DNs and line numbers dynamically, as
required, until either all hardware administered to a system is populated with
the necessary DNs and line numbers or the system reaches maximum
capacity. When you install a telephony device or hardware component
BCM450, it must be configured to assign the necessary DNs/Lines and
associated resources to make that device operational. Assigning DNs on an
as-needed basis provides much more flexibility for configuring access/linepool/routing codes.
With DDC, the Location of a device is independent of the Bus value
associated with a device. In Element Manager devices are not indexed by Bus.
They are listed and indexed by a Location. For example, an MBM in Location
“Main MBM 1” may get assigned Bus 10 in one configuration, but subsequent
changes to the configuration may result in “Main MBM 1” being assigned Bus
11 (or any other valid Bus value). The Bus assigned to a device is now one of
several resources that a device receives during configuration to become
operational.
While BCM50 does not support DDC, the Telephony Resources screen has a
similar look and feel to the BCM450 version. Since MBM DIP switches are
always set to the On position, there is no DIP switch column on the BCM50
screen, and the totals of each resource type are fixed (for example, 32 IP Sets,
64 Appl DNs, and so on). The Configure and Deconfigure buttons are not
present on the BCM50 screen.
Features and applications
BCM supports the complete range of IP telephony features offered by existing
BCM products as well as many applications provided on the existing BCM
platforms.
Applications overview
BCM 5.0 supports the following applications
•Voice Messaging for standard voice mail and auto-attendant features
•Unified Messaging providing integrated voice mail management between
voice mail and common e-mail applications
•Fax Suite providing support for attached analog fax devices
The BCM 5.0 provides a complete list of the feature codes that can be
accessed from digital and IP telephones. For more information about feature
codes see, Features: by name and activation code (page 207).
Button programming feature (page 211) provides a list of the features that are
programmable under the DN record Button Programming heading.
Lines and numbers
Lines are the channels that carry telephony signals into the system, within the
system, and out of the system. A line can be assigned to a DN.
Device configuration overview 17
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
•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.
Analog set customization
Analog telephones and devices have a limited feature set. They do not have
programmable buttons, access to remote voice mail systems, or user
preferences. These telephones also do not support Answer DNs.
As well, specific ATA settings are required. These settings depend on how the
telephone is connected to the system (ASM, ASM8+, or ATA).
IP phone line configuration
IP telephones have a very similar DN configuration to digital telephones.
There are several models of i-series telephones, and each telephone has a
different number of programmable buttons. Refer to the Nortel i-series
telephone user cards for details.
Proactive Voice Quality Monitoring
The following path indicates where to set PVQM thresholds in Element
Manager:
PVQM monitors and reports on call quality in process, not just after the end of
the call. This enables more timely and accurate resolution of potential call
quality problems, especially on more lengthy calls. A call quality threshold is
set so that an exception is reported if the quality drops below a configurable
value.
PVQM is fully supported on 1210, 1220, 1230, 1110, 1120E, and 1140E IP
phones and on Phase 2 of the 2000 series IP sets. Phase 1 of the 2000 series
IP sets support only the following PVQM metrics: packet loss, inter arrival
jitter, and round trip delay.
Hot desking IP phone configuration
You can transfer your IP telephony configuration temporarily from one IP
telephone to another using the Hot desking feature. This feature is described
in detail in the Telephone Features User Guide (NN40020-100). You use
FEATURE *999 to enter the feature. To perform Hot desking, you are
prompted for a password, which is specified at the telephone, before you can
complete the task.
Default memory button programming for sets
Button programming allows you to program the buttons on a telephone with
internal and external autodialers, and with programmed feature keys.
Assigned line, Hunt group designator, answer DNs buttons, intercom buttons,
and handsfree buttons cannot be changed through button programming.
These latter features appear in read-only format on the Button Programming
table. During startup, the installer chooses one of the available telephony
template (PBX or DID). Each profile has a default features set that assigns
automatically to the programmable buttons on telephones plugged into the
system, unless you configure different settings in the DN record.
The following are the rules of default button assignment:
•Line and intercom buttons assigned by default templates can be changed
in programming.
•Handsfree and Answer DN buttons are not assigned by default. When
these features are programmed, however, they are automatically assigned
to specific buttons.
•Telephones can have a maximum of eight intercom buttons. When Answer
DNs are assigned, they appear above the handsfree button, if there is one,
at the bottom right-hand corner on the telephone. The model 7000 and
7100 digital phones and analog telephones are automatically assigned
two intercom lines.
•Default line button assignment starts on or near the top of the left column,
and descends.
•Default button programming does not necessarily provide default line
assignments.
•Line assignments can be moved by the user to more convenient buttons.
Device configuration overview 19
Telephony features
Feature programming has two aspects. Some features are set for all
telephones and devices, and some features are set on an individual basis in
the DN record. These features are available only on digital and IP telephones.
You can block the user from using these feature keys by setting the set lock
for the telephone to Partial or Full (Configuration > Telephony > Sets >
Active Sets > Restrictions tab > Set Lock drop-down list).
Call answer features
If a call comes into a designated line button, you press that button to answer
the call. (This feature is not available on all telephones.)
If there are no line buttons on your telephone, or the call rings but no line
buttons light up, choose one of three ways to answer a call at your telephone:
•lift the receiver.
•press the Handsfree button and speak through the external speaker.
•answer through a headset.
Calls can also have special ring tones, depending on distinctive ring values for
the lines and the telephone.
Enable Handsfree (HF) to use the telephone speakers or a headset. Enable
HF answerback to allow users to answer a call without lifting the handset, or
to use a headset.
This feature is set on a per-telephone basis through Element Manager.
The handsfree and handsfree answerback feature is not available on
telephones with no speakerphone capability (2001, 7000, 7100).
Call queuing
This feature allows you to answer the next incoming call on your telephone,
based on call priority. Call priority is based on waiting time. The caller that has
waited the longest is answered first.
To use call queuing: Press FEATURE 801.
Directed pickup
This feature allows a user to answer any ringing telephone in the system.
Enter FEATURE 76, and the DN of a ringing telephone, to answer any
telephone in the system.
By default, this feature is enabled.
To disable the feature, in Element Manager (Configuration > Telephony >
Global Settings > Feature Settings), clear the check box.
Pickup groups
This feature allows the user to answer calls on another telephone in the same
pickup group.
Enter FEATURE 75. The external call that has been ringing the longest is
answered first.
Trunk answer
This feature is only active when a ringing service schedule is running. It allows
a user to answer a ringing call in any area in the system, from any telephone
in the system. The line being answered does not have to appear, or ring, at
the telephone being used to answer the call.
Program a telephone to provide automatic call alerting and call answering for
other telephones in the system. The DNs of the other telephones are referred
to as Answer DNs.
Call answer privacy features
To maintain your privacy, or if you do not want to be disturbed, you can choose
not to answer a call, or you can use one of the features described below. If you
choose not to answer the call, the Delayed ring transfer setting determines
how many rings occur before the call is transferred to the prime telephone.
(Configuration > Telephony > Global Settings > Feature Settings).
Automatic privacy enable
When you have lines assigned to more than one telephone, anyone with the
line appearance can answer a call, or join a call in progress. To provide
exclusive access for a user, you can program privacy on a line, in which case,
only one person at a time can use the line. (This does not apply to target lines.)
You can program some lines to make a call private automatically.
Device configuration overview 21
Do not disturb (DND)
Forward your calls to a designated prime telephone, when there is no other
telephone assigned with the line. An internal caller receives a display
indicating that the telephone has Do Not Disturb active. They can either call
back, or use the Priority call feature to override the feature.
Intrusion controls
If your system is part of a private network that uses the Meridian call attendant
on a centralized voice mail system, the attendant can use the break-in feature
to interrupt a call, regardless of any other settings on your line. The exception
is if you have a higher intrusion priority than the attendant. If this is the
situation, the attendant is forced to camp the call at your telephone, or redirect
the call elsewhere in the system.
This feature is set on a per-telephone basis.
Call hold features
After you answer a call, you can transfer the call, look up some information, or
answer another call. Use the Hold feature to place a call on hold.
Call hold
Place a call on hold by pressing HOLD.
If you have system wide call appearance (SWCA) keys defined, this can also
place the call on a SWCA key, and allow others to answer the call. Refer to the
SWCA section for more details.
To retrieve the call, press the held line button, or press the Hold button a
second time if there is no line button.
There is no system programming for this feature: it is always active if the
telephone has a Hold button.
Automatic call hold (autohold)
A line or the telephone can be programmed to automatically place an active
call on hold while answering another call, or placing a call.
Model 7100 and 7000 telephones, which do not have line keys, also use the
HOLD key to toggle between active calls.
FEATURE 73 activates this feature. FEATURE #73 cancels the feature.
Exclusive call hold
You can put a call on Exclusive Hold so that the calls can be retrieved only at
your telephone.
Parking and transferring calls
Calls coming in can be transferred after they are answered, or automatically
transferred if they are not answered at the target telephone.
Call transfer
When you answer a call, you can transfer the call either to a telephone within
the system, or to a telephone external to the system, such as a receptionist
on another system in a private network.
Telephones which do not use call forward to a voice mail system, can be
programmed to forward unanswered external calls to a designated prime
telephone.
You may not be able to transfer a call on an external line to an external
telephone, depending on the capabilities of the lines.
Line redirection
When you answer a call, you can redirect the line to an external number. When
redirected, all incoming calls on that line are directed to the external number.
You can configure a tone to sound on your telephone when a redirection
occurs.
Lines can also be redirected through system programming. In this case,
redirection can be removed only through system programming.
You can set up a telephone to send calls to another telephone automatically,
or to a voice mailbox if the telephone is not answered, or if it rings busy. This
feature can be programmed from the system for each telephone, as well as at
the telephone.
Call forward to GATI and GATM trunks from an external node is not supported
in Poland, Ireland, Australia, UK, or New Zealand market profiles.
Camp-on
Use this feature to reroute an answered call to another telephone, and to park
the call at the other telephone if all lines to the telephone are busy. The target
telephone displays a message, indicating a camped call, and a tone occurs.
When a line becomes available, the call is uncamped and transferred to the
available line.
Centralized voice mail, Meridian: If your system is part of a private network
that uses the Meridian call attendant as part of a centralized voice mail
system, the attendant can use camp-on to camp a call on any telephone in any
system on the network.
Device configuration overview 23
Call park
You can park a call on the system that can be accessed from any telephone
on the system.
Calls are parked on a three-digit park code. The first digit of the code is a
system access code. The last two digits range from 01 to 25. (FEATURE 74)
You can also set a delay period for when the call returns to the telephone from
which it was parked; under Configuration > Telephony > Global Settings > Feature Settings. You can also determine the order used to assign the codes
(Park mode).
Callback
When you direct an answered call to another telephone, the system monitors
the call to ensure it is answered. If no one answers the call within a set length
of time, the system returns the call to you.
To set the number of rings before the call is transferred back:
Click Configuration > Telephony > Global Settings > Feature Settings, in
the Timers subpanel, select the number of rings from the Transfer callback
timeout drop-down list.
System wide call appearance (SWCA) keys allow you to control call park and
retrieval features on any type of line across the local system. These features
expand the BCM call park and call retrieve features by providing visual
indications of the status of any call parked on an SWCA button with indicators.
The calls can also be controlled by directly entering the SWCA feature codes.
You can use SWCA programming to define logical groups of telephones. Each
group can be assigned a set of the SWCA codes, which allows them to pass
calls within the group. Each telephone in the group also displays the current
status of the call, so users can determine which calls are being handled.
Call information
You can view, or track, call information using these features:
•Malicious caller ID (MCID) (page 24)
•Call log (page 25)
Call display information
If the telephone is programmed to allow CLID, the telephone displays the
name, number, or line name of a ringing or active call. If the call is redirected,
you can view redirection information.
Call duration timer
Briefly displays the approximate length of your current or most recent call.
Activate feature: FEATURE 77
Time and date display
Static display changes the first line of the display to show the current time and
date (based on system time).
•Activate feature: FEATURE 806.
•Cancel feature: FEATURE #806
Active call display briefly displays the time and date.
•Activate feature: FEATURE 803.
Malicious caller ID (MCID)
This feature records caller information at the central office for the last external
call on the active ETSI ISDN line. This feature must be available from your
service provider before you can activate it in your system.
If this service is active on the line, you must press FEATURE 897 within 30
seconds after a caller hangs up, and before you hang up.
Configuration > Telephony > Dialing Plan > Private Network > ETSI >
MCID
Call log
If your system has the appropriate equipment, and you subscribe to the call
information feature supplied by your service provider, you can record
information about calls received on an external line. The line does not need to
be assigned to the telephone that receives the call in order for the information
to be logged, nor does an assigned line need to be a ringing line to log a call.
ISDN service packages that come with calling line identification (CLID) can
supply the same feature.
LogIt
Store caller information for your current call in your Call Log.
Activate feature: FEATURE 813
Feature configuration: calling features
Use the following features to configure the system and to place outgoing calls.
Device configuration overview 25
Set-to-set messaging
The message feature is a standard system feature and has no specific
programming. However, some telephones and remote voice mail systems can
require programming to ensure that message waiting indicators (MWI)
perform as expected.
The Messages feature uses a message waiting list to keep a record of your
internal messages and your (external) voice mail messages. To keep a record
of external voice mail messages, you must have access to an external Voice
Messaging service with visual message waiting indication and a BCM digital
telephone.
Set-to-set display messaging
This feature allows you to leave a message on the display of another
telephone in your system, or to analog telephones connected to an Analog
Station Module (ASM/ASM8+). The Messages feature indicates if you have
any messages waiting.
Paging and paging constraints
If you are unable to reach a person by telephone, or you want to deliver the
same message to more than one person, use the page feature.
This feature allows you to make page announcements in various ways,
depending on the audience you are trying to reach.
The Button Programming and CAP/KIM Button Programming tab panels allow
you to program the buttons on a telephone with internal and external
autodialers, and with programmed feature keys.
You also can use these panels to remove programming from a button, making
it blank.
Assigned lines, Hunt group designators, Answer DNs buttons, Intercom
buttons, and Handsfree buttons cannot be changed through these panels.
They appear in read-only format.
Special features for sets
You can program telephones and devices to perform specific feature services,
such as dialing an emergency number as soon as the handset is picked up, or
acting as the control set for the system schedules.
Hotline telephone
You can define a telephone that automatically dials an emergency or direct
number when the handset is lifted.

The features in this dialog box provide the parameters that determine how you
can use supervisor terminals on your system to monitor Hunt group members.
Hospitality services phones
Use the Hospitality panels to set up room telephones, and determine how they
function. Once the system is set up, you can change settings through the
telephone using the Desk password. Service personnel change the service
state of the room using the Room condition password (optional).
Central answering position
A CAP (Central Answering Position) station acts as a central answering and
monitoring point for a group or a business.
Device configuration overview 27
CAPs become enhanced CAPs (eCAPs) when you identify the telephone DN
under the CAP/KIM assignment. You can configure a maximum of 12 CAPs
as eCAPs on the system.
All CAPs can be programmed with quick dial numbers that allow the person at
this station to monitor and answer call traffic into the group. If you program the
CAP to be an eCAP, lines, hunt group appearances, and line appearances can
also be moved to the module.

The direct dial telephone is the telephone that system users can dial with one
digit, the direct dial access code. A receptionist telephone is one example of
this. This telephone is usually the control telephone for system scheduling.
You can create up to five direct dial telephones. However, they all respond to
the same direct dial access code.

Enhanced CAP station
Central answering position (CAP station): A CAP can consist of a 7316E
digital phone plus one to four eKIMs (key indicator modules), or one to nine
OKIMs. When the CAP is assigned under CAP/KIM assignment in the system,
the CAP becomes an enhanced CAP (eCAP), and the modules become
known as eKIMs. The system supports a maximum of 12 eCAPs.
eCAPs can:
•monitor system telephone status.
•answer external calls on line buttons.
•monitor Hunt group appearances.
•support multiple appearances of a target line.
•answer external calls on up to 112 lines on a KIM (120 lines on a legacy
CAP), and extend calls to other BCM telephones.
•provide extra memory buttons for the 7316E digital phones.
Telephones with KIMs that are not configured in system programming allow
only memory button programming on the modules. In this case, the KIM is
known as an OKIM (ordinary KIM). There is no specific limit for the number of
CAPs using OKIMs for the system, except from a call processing point of view.
Legacy CAP: A 7324(N) plus one or two CAP(N)s (Central Answer Position
modules)
Hunt groups
The Hunt Groups panel allows you to set up call groups that are assigned a
common hunt group.
Use this feature to group your Contact Center operators so you can target
specific types of calls to specific groups. As well, you can define how calls
enter the group, so you can control workload based on operator requirements.
For more information, see Hunt group feature operation (page 223).
The following paths indicate where to configure hunt groups in Element
Manager and through
Telset Administration:
•Element Manager: Configuration > Telephony > Hunt Groups
•Telset interface: **CONFIG > System prgrming > Hunt GroupsDN for
incoming calls. The calls then are distributed to the member telephones.
Ring groups
If you set up call scheduling on the system, you can define groups of
telephones into ring groups. This allows you to specify schedules where Trunk
Answer can be used within the ring group to answer incoming calls, even on
telephones that do not have that line specifically assigned. You can also define
a second direct dial set for a ringing group.
Ring groups and Contact Centers
Refer to the Contact Center documentation for information about setting up
this feature.
System-Wide Call Appearance
The System-Wide Call Appearance (SWCA) feature enables you to park
incoming and outgoing calls on your BCM and, at the same time, provides call
appearance to a group of telephones. Using this feature frees the line used by
the call, and enables another user to pick up the call at any telephone that has
been assigned the same SWCA keys.
Attention: Your telephone must have a free intercom key to pick up SWCA
calls.
SWCA overview
Labelling your telephone keys provides identification about which code is
applied to which key. (See diagram below.)
If possible, assign the same set of
buttons to the same SWCA user
codes for all telephones in the call
group.
You can use any name for the keys,
but a reference to the SWCA code
saved on the key is useful.

Use of Hold with SWCA keys
If a call does not automatically park on a SWCA key when you press HOLD, it
means the call is parked only on your telephone on the line on which the call
entered. To make the call available to the group, you must unhold the call
(press HOLD), then press a free SWCA key. The call is parked on that SWCA
key and the line on which the call entered becomes free.
Temporarily parked calls
someone picks up the call. In this case, if the person who answered the call
wants to repark the call, they must use one of the manual methods described
above to repark the call on a free SWCA key.
The system can be configured to retain the call on the same SWCA key for the
duration of the call, which is the period until someone hangs up, regardless of
how many times the call is answered and reparked.
If all your SWCA keys have assigned calls, and you receive another call, you
can:
If you assign a call to a code that does not have an appearance on your
telephone, use Page, Voice call, or Message to notify the group or another
person that there is a call waiting, and on which code it was parked.
SWCA-feature interaction
If you are not sure which call to retrieve, you can use one of the following
codes to find the longest parked call or the most recently parked call.
•FEATURE *537 retrieves the oldest SWCA call. The indicator on all
telephones in the group becomes solid, indicating an active call. These
codes only work for telephones that have SWCA keys defined, and the
system only searches across the range of codes that are assigned for that
telephone.
•FEATURE *538 retrieves the most recent SWCA call. The indicator on all
telephones in the group becomes solid, indicating an active call.
Timed out SWCA calls
If a call remains parked and unanswered on a SWCA key for a pre-set period
of time (the Call Park timeout timer), the call unparks from the SWCA key and
rings again at the telephone from which it was last parked.
Device configuration overview 31
Outbound calls
You also can park out-dialed calls on a SWCA key. If your system is set up to
automatically assign calls to a SWCA key, the call will assign to a key as soon
as it is answered. Otherwise, during your call, you can press a free SWCA key
or HOLD to park the call on a SWCA key. This makes the call available to other
users in the group and it frees up your intercom or line.
SWCA and auto hold
Your telephone must be set to have Full Auto-hold so that a call automatically
gets placed on Hold if you answer a second call. If your telephone does not
have Auto Hold on, use FEATURE 73 to change the setting.
SWCA and call transfers
If you transfer the call to a telephone that does not have the same SWCA keys
assigned, the call will disappear from the SWCA key on your telephone when
the call transfers. If the call needs to be reassigned to your group, the person
who answered the call enters a SWCA control code that is assigned to your
group, to return the call to a SWCA designation at your telephone.
You cannot conference a call that is parked on a SWCA key until it is
unparked.
Set Template Programming
Element Manager administrators can use the Set Template Programming
feature to manage data retrieval, presentation, and data application for
multiple sets by propagating the information and modifications through the
template. You can combine a number of set parameter settings into a
template. You can then assign those parameters to appropriate sets on the
BCM. You can use the template import and export feature or the BCM Backup
and Restore feature to achieve template portability. From one system, you can
perform a backup and select the template components you want to transfer to
another system. You then perform a restore of that back up and select those
components on another system.
Set template administration
The set template feature provides the graphical user interface (GUI) for
creating, changing, and deleting a template. Use the template to quickly
assign the same parameter settings from one set to several sets at the same
time. The parameters that you can configure using a set template are
Assign a set template to specific sets, or DNs, to propagate changes to those
sets through template updates. When you assign a template to a set, you
create an association between that template and that set. Changes to
provisioning data are automatically propagated to the set through the
template.
If you assign a set to a template, and you use set-based administration to
modify a supported parameter, the system automatically disassociates the
template from the set. You are notified of this disassociation through the
logging system. This is done to ensure that all sets assigned the same
template remain consistent in their configuration.
You can assign, unassign, and reassign sets through the Set Assignments
panel. When you assign, unassign, or reassign sets to a template, a colorcoded telephone icon appears beside the DN of the modified set. A green icon
indicates a newly assigned set. A yellow icon indicates a reassignment of a
set from one template to another. A red icon indicates an unassignment.
Template import and export capability
You can save a template to a file from one BCM and then import that template
to another BCM. This removes the need to recreate identical templates
manually on each BCM to be able to configure sets across all BCMs in the
network in the same way.
Templates are platform specifc, so the import-export capability is possible
from a BCM50 to a BCM50 or from a BCM450 to a BCM450, but not possible
from a BCM50 to a BCM450 or vice-versa.
•from an existing template, including the default DID or PBX templates
Set association
You can associate a set with a template. Administrators can modify a set
template using Element Manager. After you modify a set template on the BCM
5.0, the changed parameters are applied to every set to which the template
has been assigned.
Voice mailbox setup
You can create a voice mailbox for a set that is associated with a template to
edit certain mailbox parameters and propagate those changes to all sets
associated with the template. Not all mailbox parameters are available for you
to edit through the set template. You can edit the following parameters:
•Page type
•Page zone
•Page retries
•Page retry interval
•Display in directory
Device configuration overview 35
•Enable Message Waiting Indicator
•Class of Service
•Outdial type
•Outdial line
When you assign a template to a set and you select the Create Mailbox check
box, the system checks for an existing voice mailbox. If no mailbox exists, a
new one is created. If a mailbox exists, the system applies the values you
select in the Voice Mail tab to the mailbox. When you create a mailbox through
a template, the mailbox number becomes the same as the DN.
If, after creating a mailbox, you deselect the Create mailbox check box, the
system does not delete any mailboxes. The parameters no longer appear in
the Voice Mail tab, however, to delete a mailbox, you must use CallPilot
Manager. For details on how to delete a mailbox, see CallPilot Manager Setup and Operation Guide (NN40170-300).
Set and line renumbering
Use the Element Manager to quickly renumber specific parameters in the sets
and lines configuration. The following list shows the parameters that you can
renumber using a template:
You renumber parameters that are specific to lines or sets. Use the
renumbering function to renumber set and line parameters.
When you renumber DNs, all related parameters, such as the DN name, also
change incrementally. When you renumber DNs and the set has a voice
mailbox, you have an option to renumber the mailbox together with the DN. In
this case, the mailbox is deleted and a new one is created using the same
parameters that existed for the old mailbox, with the exception of the
extension. The extension field is set to the new DN created by renumbering
process.

Nortel recommends a maximum of four line buttons per telephone. You can
program more than four line buttons on a telephone by programming less than
four on other sets. For example, you might program 20 line buttons on a
receptionist telephone equipped as a CAP station, and only two lines on all
other telephones.
For BCM450, you can program a maximum of 93 telephones with a line
appearance for a specific line, including VoIP and target lines. Above this
maximum, you can configure more than one appearance per telephone of a
target line.
Note: This facility is not available in BCM50.
Do not assign auto-answer loop start trunks, auto-answer T1 E&M trunks, and
T1 DID trunks to telephones. These trunks are used to monitor incoming call
usage, or to place outgoing calls (auto-answer loop start and T1 E&M trunks).
A line that is configured as private cannot be assigned to another telephone.
Each line assigned to a telephone must appear to a button with an indicator.
The maximum number of available buttons is 8 for the 7208 digital telephones,
10 for the model 7310, 10 for 7316 digital telephones, 16 for the 7316E digital
telephone, and 24 for the model 7324 digital telephones. You need at least two
intercom buttons to use the conference feature.
58 Basic parameters for digital sets configuration
In addition to lines, buttons have other uses, for example, intercom or
handsfree operation. Line programming does not overwrite assigned
Intercom, Answer DN, Handsfree, or Hunt group buttons. However, intercom
buttons overwrite anything.
Answer DNs also overwrite line programming, but not Intercom buttons.
Answer DN buttons appear above Intercom buttons; if an Intercom button is
added after Answer DN buttons are assigned, the Intercom button pushes the
Answer DNs up. The top Answer DN overwrites whatever is above it.
If you set a line to Ring only, incoming calls appear on an intercom button.The
7000, 7100 digital telephones, are exceptions, they have no line buttons;
therefore, you can assign any number of lines, but only two lines can be
answered at any one time. Assign the lines on these telephones to ring;
otherwise, you cannot detect incoming calls on the lines.
An enhanced central answering position (eCAP), with one or more modules,
provides extra line button support, if the number of lines to assign exceeds the
number of available buttons with indicators. The remaining lines assign to
buttons on the module. The eKIM also supports hunt group designators, and
multiple appearances of the same target line, which flow to the module if there
are no available buttons with indicators on the 7316E digital phone.
Attention: If you do a Backup/Cold Start/Restore sequence on your BCM
5.0, button programming on an enhanced CAP (eCAP) module is lost, and
the lines assigned to those buttons are assigned to the buttons on the
telephone. These assignments displace any programming on the telephone
buttons, except Answer DN buttons, intercom buttons, handsfree buttons, or
Hunt group appearances. In the case where there are more reassigned lines
than buttons, the system still assigns the lines to the telephone, and the
telephone rings when a call comes in on that line (given that Appr&Ring is
configured on the line). To resolve this situation, access the DN records for
the telephone and the CAP/KIM button programming. Enter the required
programming.
By using FEATURE *81 at the telephone, lines can be moved to other buttons
on the telephone, except intercom, Answer DN, or handsfree positions, or the
lines can be moved to buttons on the modules on an eCAP. On telephones,
the feature or line, assigned to the button where the line is moved, moves to
the original line button position. On eCAP modules, moved lines overwrite
feature programming.

Job aid: Assigning intercom (I/C) buttons (keys)
The Intercom keys attribute assigns the number of intercom buttons on a
telephone. Intercom buttons provide access to a maximum of eight internal or
external lines and line pools. The user presses the intercom key to answer
internal calls, or to select a line or line pool to place a call. Lines configured for
Ring only also appear on intercom buttons.
If you assign a prime line to an intercom key, you are immediately connected
to a line when you press the button or lift the handset. A line indicator appears
beside the intercom button.
When you assign an intercom button during programming, the assignment
automatically appears on the telephone. Assignment starts at the lower-right
button, or one button above if the handsfree feature is available. Any feature
or line programming that existed previously on that button is overwritten,
except for Answer DNs that are pushed up one button.
Basic parameters for digital sets configuration 61
A telephone requires two intercom buttons to establish a conference call with
two other BCM telephones.
You require only one intercom button if the button is used to place and receive
internal calls, and to access line pools.
You require two intercom buttons for a telephone with several lines assigned
to Ring only.
Model 2001, 1110, 7000, and 7100 telephones and analog telephones are
automatically assigned two intercom buttons. This allows users to toggle
between two active calls using the Hold button.

Job aid: Line redirection notes
This feature enables you to send your external calls to a telephone outside the
office. You can decide to redirect all, or just some, of your external lines.
You can redirect only lines that appear as line buttons on your telephone.
Since 2001, 1110, 7000, and 7100 telephones do not have line buttons, they
do not support line redirection. Also, line redirection is not supported on
telephones connected to an ATA2 or ASM/GASM (analog station modules).
You can answer the telephone if it rings while you are programming line
redirection. However, call handling features are not available until the
programming wait period times out. If you need to use a feature to process the
call, quit line redirection programming by pressing FEATURE. If you press
RELEASE, the call is disconnected.
Basic parameters for digital sets configuration 63
In some conditions, callers can experience lower volume levels when you
redirect calls to an external location.
Attention: Be careful about redirection loops. For example, if you redirect
your lines to your branch office, and your branch office redirects its lines to
you, you can create a redirection loop. If these calls are long distance,
significant toll charges can result.
Attention: While programming Line Redirection, there is no indication of
calls to that telephone, except a call that rings the telephone.

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.
You cannot assign lines, target lines, or Hunt group indicators using button
programming. These must be performed through assigning lines to the
telephone, and, for hunt groups, configuring the telephone as a Hunt group
member. 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.
The information in this section applies to both the BCM50 and the BCM450

Then the next call rings on the remaining non-busy telephones.
This feature allows the call load to be continuously spread across
the entire member group.
Sequential — rings the first telephone in the hunt group list. If that
telephone is busy, the system continues down the hunt group
priority list until a non-busy telephone accepts the call. In this
case, all incoming calls are processed simultaneously, and are

Defining a key label for a feature
When your IP telephone acquires a DN record, the default settings are applied
to the telephone, including assigning features to the memory keys on the
telephone. These features all have predefined labels, and the telephone
automatically displays the appropriate labels beside the programmed buttons.
This screen enables you to change the soft display label for features assigned
to the memory keys beside the displays for IP telephones. Use this screen to
define custom labels for 24 features. The system comes with sixteen default
labels, which are feature- and language-specific, depending on the systemassigned country or region profile. Typically, the default labels are messaging
and call attendant features. You can change any other feature label by adding
to this list, or by deleting any of the default settings and inserting new codes
and labels.

Configuring a new time zone on a remote IP phone
If the IP telephone connects to the system from a different time zone than the
system, you can reset the telephone to display the correct local time.

The telephone is still configured to change when Daylight Savings Time
occurs, if the host system is programmed to change. Therefore, if the
telephone is in an area that stays on Standard Time year round (for
example, Saskatchewan, Canada), you must readjust the time on your IP
telephone at each time change. You must also readjust the time if the IP
telephone is in a time zone that changes, and the system is not (for example,
if the telephone is in Alberta, Canada, and the system is located in
Saskatchewan).
Downloading firmware
Firmware is the software stored in the telephone. When the system is
upgraded with a new IP telephone firmware load, this firmware load
automatically downloads into the IP telephones when the telephones next
connect to the system.
