Before you begin to integrate the Communication Server 1000 (CS 1000)
and Business Communications Manager (BCM) systems, ensure that you
complete the following prerequisites:
•
"Knowledge requirements" (page 17)
•"Capturing integration parameters" (page 18)
•
"Establishing the system baseline" (page 19)
Knowledge requirements
The following knowledge and skills are required to implement a CS
1000/BCM systems integration:
•
basic programming and provisioning skills for the CS 1000 system
•
basic programming and provisioning skills for Network Routing Service
(NRS)
•
basic programming and provisioning skills for BCM systems
17
•
working knowledge of various operating systems, including VxWorks,
Unix, Linux, and Windows
•
principles of Voice over IP (VoIP) protocols
•

•knowledge of core data components
Training
Nortel recommends that you complete product-specific training before you
begin integrating the CS 1000 and BCM systems. Training includes course
6034C, “CS 1000 BCM Multi-site Integration”, which deals specifically with
the CS 1000/BCM integration and multi-site BCM integration processes. A
complete list of courses is available at w
Solution Integration Guide for Communication Server 1000 Release 5.5/Business Communications Manager
Table 2 "Integration parameters" (page 18) provides a list of parameters
required to successfully complete the integration. Record these parameters
during the initial planning phase of the integration.

recommended)
Establishing the system baseline
To successfully integrate voice services, you must first establish the
system baseline for the Call Server, Signaling Server, and Business
Communications Manager (BCM) so that the systems are configured and
working in a stand-alone environment.
Use Table 3 "Pre-integration checklist" (page 19) to complete system
baselines prior to integration.

TaskReference
The Enterprise software
package is purchased and
installed, with appropriate
licenses for virtual trunks,
lines, and IP Phones as
required.

Solution Integration Guide for Communication Server 1000 Release 5.5/Business Communications Manager
Although you can configure the Communication Server 1000 and IP Peer
Networking through overlays, the use of Element Manager and Network
Routing Services (NRS) Manager are recommended. The Element
Manager Web server resides on the Signaling Server and you can access
it directly through a Web browser or by using Optivity Telephony Manager
(OTM). You must configure NRS through Network Routing Service Manager
(NRS Manager), which you can access only through the Element Manager.
Configure the Call Server through Element Manager in the following order:
•H.323 Call Server
•
H.323 Gate Keeper
