New in this release

This is the initial release of the BCM450 platform. This document contains information about configuring the BCM450 system in Release 1.0

Features

See the following sections for information found in this document.

BCM450 configuration

You configure your BCM450 system to provide the required system functionality. A BCM450 system cannot function until it is configured.

You can configure basic parameters (initial parameters and startup parameters) through Element Manager, Telset Administration, or the Startup Profile template. For more information about configuring your BCM450 system see, BCM450 system configuration preparation (page 25).

Element Manager configuration

To configure your BCM450 system most efficiently, you can download and install Element Manager on your computer. You can configure all BCM system parameters through Element Manager. For more information see, Element

Manager (page 13)and BCM450 configuration with Element Manager (page 41).

Telset Administration configuration

You can use Telset Administration through a digital telephone with a two-line display to set the BCM configuration parameters.

You cannot set all the basic parameters using Telset Administration. Therefore, after configuring the initial parameters, you must use Element Manager to set the startup parameters. For more information see, Tel se t

Administration (page 14) and BCM450 configuration with Telset Administration (page 35).

Startup Profile configuration

An experienced administrator uses the Startup Profile tool to customize a template with common BCM system parameters. The administrator uses this template to configure a single system or multiple systems. For more information see,Startup Profile (page 14) and BCM450 configuration with

Startup Profile (page 59).

Internal resources configuration

You can configure the internal resources on your BCM main unit. The internal resources include IP trunks, IP sets, and applications resources. For more information see, IP sets and applications configuration (page 17) and

BCM450 internal resources configuration (page 63).

Media Bay Module configuration

You can configure media bay modules (MBMs) for the BCM450. Configurimg main unit media bay modules (MBM) is a two-stage process. First, identify the type of installed MBMs to the BCM system, and then configure the required variables. The BCM system suggests default values for your MBM. For more information see, BCM450 MBM and legacy Norstar configuration (page 67).

Trunk configuration

Configure the trunk module parameters to define the line properties for your BCM system. For more information see, IP trunk module configuration

(page 16)and BCM450 MBM and legacy Norstar configuration (page 67).

Music source configuration

The Music on Hold and Background Music features provide music to users. For these features to function properly, you must connect a music source to the BCM system and configure the music source. For more information see,

BCM450 music source configuration (page 105).

Configuration testing

Perform basic testing and troubleshooting on BCM main unit, expansion units, media bay modules (MBM), and analog terminal adapter (ATA) For more information see, Basic configuration testing (page 113), BCM450 main unit

testing (page 115), BCM450 expansion unit testing (page 117), BCM450 media bay modules testing (page 119), and BCM450 analog terminal adapter testing (page 121).

Dynamic device configuration

With dynamic device configuration, DN and line number allocation and assignment is dynamically performed by the system, as required, until either all hardware administered to a system is populated with the necessary DNs and line numbers, or the system has reached the maximum capacity.

Configuration interfaces

This section describes the methods to configure your BCM450 system.

While Element Manager is the primary management application, BCM450 also supports the programming of telephony and applications areas through Telset Administration, and through the Startup Profile template.

Element Manager

The primary management application for configuring and administering the BCM450 system is Element Manager. Element Manager is a client-based management application that runs on a Windows computer, or on a Citrix server.

You use Element Manager to connect to the BCM450 devices to be managed either through an IP network connection, or through the OAM port on a BCM450 main unit.

You can download Element Manager from the BCM450 web page and install it on your computer at any time. However, you cannot connect to a BCM450 system with Element Manager until the BCM450 main unit is installed and running.

Installing Element Manager in a Citrix environment

Nortel Business Communications Manager 450 1.0

Configuration — System

NN40160-501 01.05 Standard

October 2009

You can run Element Manager in a Citrix environment, using the following software:

• Windows 2000 Server SP4 (fully patched)

• Citrix Metaframe XP Feature Release 3

• Citrix Program Neighborhood Version 7.0

When you run Element Manager in a Citrix environment, install Element Manager on a Citrix server. You can run Citrix Program Neighborhood to connect to the server and launch the Element Manager.

Element Manager is designed for single-user environments. A single installation of Element Manager extends the same user preferences to any Citrix user, including the device list and any saved passwords. Citrix administrators can ensure a secure environment by using one of the following approaches:

• install a copy of Element Manager for each user or group of users in different folders, with Windows permissions set for the folder to control access.

• in cases where a shared device tree is permitted, ensure that users do not save passwords, but instead enter a password each time they connect.

Startup Profile

The Startup Profile is a template containing the basic configuration parameters that you edit using Microsoft Excel. The Startup Profile is used to accelerate the initial installation programming of system-level parameters. It helps bring the BCM450 system to a basic operational and ready-tocustomize state without using either Element Manager or Telset Administration.

The administrator must fill out the Startup Profile template, save it onto a USB storage device and insert the storage device into the USB port of the BCM450 main unit before the initial start-up. On start-up the BCM450 system reads the information and starts up with the correct system parameters and feature licensing already in place.

Telset Administration

Installers who are already familiar with Telset Administration can perform programming from the keypad of any telephone connected to the BCM450 device. This alleviates the need for access to a computer at the customer site. For more information about using Telset programming on the BCM450, see the following documents:

• Telset Administration Guide (NN40160-600)

• CallPilot Telephone Administration Guide (NN40090-500)

602)

Scheduled services

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.

With Element Manager, you can perform the following configuration functions for scheduled services:

• determine which schedules are active on the system for routing, restriction, and ringing schedules.

• set the time periods within each schedule for each day of the week.

• rename schedules.

Schedules are activated and deactivated through control telephones.

Restriction and Routing services require a service control password before users can change scheduling on a control telephone. You use the Service Control Password field to delete a current entry, and add a new password. Make a note of the password; the panel shows only asterisks.

Call-by-call service selection

The PRI Call-by-call Service Selection is region-specific to North America for a DTM set to a PRI module type.

By default, incoming calls on a PRI are routed based on the Called Party Number information within the call request. The last number of digits of the called party number that match the Received Number Length setting are used as Receive Digits to find a target line.

In North American PRI, the Call-by-Call services provides alternate routing maps to be defined in various ways, depending on the protocol defined for this PRI.

Dynamic device configuration

Dynamic device configuration applies to internal components on the main unit including IP trunks, IP sets, and applications, as well as media bay modules (MBM) and legacy Norstar modules on the main unit and expansion unit.

NN40160-501 01.05 Standard

Directory numbers

If a set of directory numbers (call the set X) are configured (either IP Sets or MBM DNs) with the "Assign Target Lines" selected, then these DNs will have Target Lines assigned to them (assuming there are unused Target Lines available).

If a number (n) of the DNs in set X are subsequently Deconfigured, then although n DNs are gone, the state of the originally assigned Target Lines associated with these n DNs is:

• they remain programmed with the original DNs' Public and Private Configured numbers

• they remain assigned to the DN positions (that is, position 1-300) just Deconfigured

The effect of this is that if, after Deconfiguring n DNs from set X above, a new DN set Y is configured on the same bus on the system (IP Sets, Applications, MBM devices), then the first n number of the DNs in set Y will still have the Target Lines assigned to them that were originally assigned as part of Configured DN set X. This is independant of the ‘Assign Target Line’ option selection for this new Configured DN set Y.

The net effect to the administrator is that if s/he Configured DNs with Target Lines and then decides to Deconfigure and Reconfigure as different DNs, then the original Target Line assignments and Pub/Priv number programming follows the Reconfigured DNs.

IP trunk module configuration

Although IP trunks are not physical devices and you cannot remove them from the system, BCM450 supports modification of IP trunk line numbers. The initial values assigned by the system on the IP trunks are “guaranteed to work” values.

You can assign a larger range of line numbers than what is actually licensed for IP trunks. The effect is to reserve the line numbers beyond the current licensed line count for future additional IP trunk licenses. Lines beyond the licensed count do not boot until the necessary keycodes are provided to enable the additional lines.

The list of line numbers for IP trunks must be consecutive. If the available line numbers are segmented and the necessary number of consecutive line numbers does not exist, you receive an error. If this occurs, you must remove other lines in the system and restart line numbering for devices so the lines numbers are not as segmented and consecutive groups can be obtained for all devices.

Nortel Business Communications Manager 450 1.0

Configuration — System

NN40160-501 01.05 Standard

October 2009

If additional licensing is added later for more IP trunks such that the licensed number of IP trunks is greater than the currently provisioned number, then the system will not automatically request additional line numbers for the new trunks. In this case the administrator must configure the new line numbers to populate the additional IP trunks. If additional licensed IP trunks are added and line numbers are reserved such that these additional trunks are covered, then no additional line numbering configuration operations are necessary.

IP sets and applications configuration

Main unit telephony resources includes a list of IP set DNs and a range of application DNs. Services assigned to the IP sets or applications device type are the DNs of these sets or DNs that an application can use respectively.

Application DNs are the DNs assigned to applications such as the CallPilot DN, the MeetMe DN, or Contact Center skillset DNs.

The ability to assign IP set and application DN services is limited by the maximum number of DNs for IP sets and applications respectively, and also by the maximum total number of relocatable DNs on the system.

There may be notes or warnings in the Configuration dialog box to notify the administrator of the impact of the configuration action. This may include a recommendation to restart, or that a service may be restarted automatically.

Additional configuration options specify whether or not target lines are desired for the DNs, and if so a starting public DN, and starting private DN can be assigned to target lines.

An available target line is one that is currently unassigned to any DN (even a Hunt Group DN) and has no programmed private or public receive digits assigned to it. Target line numbers may or may not be consecutive.

Conflicts of public or private line DNs, where the DN is used elsewhere, results in a failure of the public or private DN assignment to the set in question, but does not cause the entire request to fail. The sets are configured, but not all are successfully assigned public or private target line numbers if resource limitations prevent it.

Once a target line is configured with public or private numbers, deconfiguring DNs that have appearances of those target lines does not remove the public or private numbers from those target lines.

The DNs assigned to IP sets or applications do not need to be consecutive. If the relevant pool DNs are renumbered or changed, so the consecutive DNs do not exist, then the IP sets or applications have non-consecutive DNs. For this reason the low and high values for IP sets and applications represent the

Nortel Business Communications Manager 450 1.0

Configuration — System

NN40160-501 01.05 Standard

October 2009

lowest and highest DN value currently in the respective assigned range. The total number of DNs assigned is not all the DN values in between the low and high values.

Configuring IP or Application DNs is a cumulative action. Every new successful configuration request adds the relevant count of IP or Application DNs to the existing range. Existing DNs are not affected or changed in any way. The default number of DNs to add is normally zero. This is a protection mechanism. You must change the number of DNs in the Number of DNs to add field to the desired number of additional DNs.

When you configure DNs there is an exception to the number of DNs you can add. The BCM450 system requires a minimum of three configured application DNs for applications to function correctly. When you configure application DNs, if there are fewer than three currently configured application DNs, then the minimum number possible to configure is set so that the final configured application DN count is at least three. For example, if through Set-based administration you complete a DN deconfiguration, and only two configured application DN remains, then the next time you configure application DNs the system would permit a minimum of two additional DNs to be configured for a final total of three.

Finally, you can partially configure IP sets and applications (but not MBMs) with fewer DNs then the licensed device count. If there are not sufficient DNs defined in the relevant pools then the number of available DNs are allocated to the services list.

Main unit and expansion unit MBM configuration

During media bay module (MBM) configuration, the BCM450 system provides suggested default values for the MBM. These suggestions include DNs or line numbers. If you change configuring data from the defaults provided and the configuration fails, then the configuration reverts back to the suggested values.

When configuring a line device, a starting line number is specified. Based on the MBM type and region configuration, the appropriate number of line numbers are allocated and associated with the ports of the MBM. If insufficient resources are available to complete the requested configuration then the device configuration fails.

For combination devices, configuration of the individual components is treated separately. It is possible for one part of a combination device to get configured while the other part fails because of insufficient resources.

The location of a device is independent of the bus value associated with a device. For example, an MBM in location “Main MBM 1” can be assigned Bus 10 in one configuration, but subsequent changes to the configuration can

Nortel Business Communications Manager 450 1.0

Configuration — System

NN40160-501 01.05 Standard

October 2009

result in “Main MBM 1” assigned to 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.

It is possible for a configuring request of a device to fail if sufficient resources are not available. This can be a result of insufficient contiguous line numbers, not enough remaining DNs, or no busses remaining. If sufficient resources are not available for a configuring request, the system presents a dialog box that the device configuration request failed.

When a BRI MBM is configured all loops on the MBM are defaulted as T-loops and the administrator must provide a starting line number for a BRI MBM upon configuration. It is important to note that a BRI MBM uses eight consecutive line numbers. This is to ensure a consecutive series of line numbers across a BRI MBM regardless of the loop type setting.

You configure the R2MFC MBM as a DTI-PRI MBM with additional configuration to set the attributes of the PRI protocol such that the device operates as an R2MFC.

DNs are dynamic and changing a loop on a BRI-ST device from S to T type completely removes those DNs from the system.

DSMn16+/32+ MBMs are capable of double density. If you want to maximize TDM sets on a system using an expansion unit, you need to set the dip settings on the DSM32+ MBMs in the chassis to double density mode.

SNMP management

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a set of protocols for managing complex networks. SNMP-compliant devices, called agents, store meta-data in Management Information Bases (MIBs) and provide this data to SNMP requesters.

You can configure general SNMP settings, including enabling and disabling the SNMP agent, enabling and disabling versions of the SNMP agent, defining access permissions, and adding and deleting SNMP management stations.

You can create a list of SNMP managers who are permitted to query the BCM450 system by specifying their IP addresses. If you have specified SNMP managers, the BCM450 SNMP agent will respond only to SNMP requests from those IP devices.

You can use external SNMP clients, such as HP OpenView, to monitor theBCM450 system by means of read-only SNMP requests.

The BCM450 main unit supports the following versions of SNMP:

• SNMP v1 — the first implementation of SNMP; this version supports such protocols as IP

• SNMP v2C — provides improved efficiency and error handling

• SNMP v3 — provides improvements in security and privacy

Using the Element Manager, you can select which versions of SNMP you want the BCM450 agent to support. For more information, see Configuring SNMP

settings (page 49).

Management Information Bases provide access to the managed objects of a system and specify the format of traps. BCM450 supports the following MIBs:

• RFC 1213 — MIB II

• RFC 2863 — Interface MIB

• RFC 2737 — Entity MIB

• RFC 2790 — Host MIB

• RFC 2261 — SNMP framework

• SmallSiteEvent MIB for traps

Music source and BcmAmp

This section describes the music source for your BCM450 system.

Music source

The Music on Hold and Background Music features provide music to users. For these features to function properly, a music source must be connected to the BCM.

There are three ways you can connect the music source to the BCM system:

• You can connect an external music source through an analog input to the BCM.

• You can use the IP Music feature to connect to Music Manager. Music Manager is an audio player application that resides on the BCM system and provides a streaming audio signal to the BCM system.

• You can use the IP Music feature to connect to an external music source on the data network.

You must connect the external music source to your network and it must be accessible to the BCM system. The external music source must also produce a streaming audio signal that is compatible with the BCM system.

Nortel Business Communications Manager 450 1.0

Configuration — System

NN40160-501 01.05 Standard

October 2009

Select Music Manager if you are using the IP Music feature to connect to the music source available on the BCM. If you select Music Manager, you must configure the BcmAmp application before you can use it.

Select Streaming Server if you are using the IP Music feature to connect to a music source on the data network. If you select Streaming Server, you must configure the Network Device before you can use it.

For information about connecting an external music through and analog input, see Installation—System (NN40160-301).

BcmAmp application

The audio files loaded onto the BCM system are loaded into the same disk space that is used for CallPilot messages. Therefore, every minute of audio file loaded onto the BCM system reduces the amount of message storage space available to CallPilot by one minute. To ensure the proper operation of both Music Manager and CallPilot, the following restrictions are applied to uploading audio files.

• The maximum size of any single sound file you load onto the BCM system is 150 MB.

• The maximum amount of disk space available for Music Manager audio files is 1 GB.

• To ensure there is sufficient disk space for CallPilot, Music Manager Administration prevents you from uploading files if there is less than 1 GB of free disk space on the BCM system.

To minimize the time required to upload audio files, record the audio files as a single channel (mono) using 8-bit samples at a rate of 8 kHz.

If you must change the IP address (due to a conflict with your network), you can connect to the BCM system through the OAM port.

Prerequisites

• Before using the default address on your network, check with your system administrator. If this address conflicts with the LAN settings, you can cause network damage if you connect to the network without changing the IP address.

• Obtain a standard Ethernet cable.

Procedure steps

Step Action

1 Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the OAM port on the main unit.

2 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on your

computer.

The DHCP-enabled computer is assigned IP address 10.10.11.2. (255.255.255.252).

Accessing the BCM Web page

After you connect your computer to the BCM system, you can download Element Manager from the Administrator Applications area of the BCM Web page.

Prerequisites

• Ensure you connect your computer to the BCM system, either through the OAM port or through a LAN connection.

Procedure steps

Step Action

1 Open a Web browser and enter the BCM system IP address:

• If your BCM450 is installed on a network, type the address on the

network in the form, http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

• If your BCM450 is installed but not yet configured, connect directly to the BCM450 through the OAM port and type, http://10.10.11.1

Configuring SNMP trap destinations

An SNMP trap is a signal that tells the SNMP manager that an event has occurred on the system. The SNMP system enables SNMP traps to be generated based on all or some events and alarms generated on the BCM450 system. Any information that is displayed in the Alarms panel can generate an SNMP trap.

BCM450 alarms that meet the SNMP trap criteria are forwarded to the SNMP trap reporting interface according to defined trap community strings. SNMP trap notifications are displayed in your SNMP trap software.

SNMP traps are generated by the BCM450 if you have enabled SNMP for specific BCM450 alarms. You configure SNMP settings using the Alarm Settings task in the Element Manager.

--End--

Attention: You can configure and administer SNMP trap destinations in

both the Configuration tab and the Administration tab of the Element Manager. This allows operators who manage BCM450 faults to configure SNMP trap destinations without having to access the SNMP settings on the Configuration panel.

Dial-up resources configuration

On the Dial-out Interfaces panel you can add, configure, and control the connection status of both ISDN and Modem dial-out interfaces. These interfaces can be used for the Automatic dial-out service.

Consider the following guidelines when using remote dial-in:

• The remote dial-in for administration and the backup WAN link share the same modem. If a remote administration user is connected while the primary link breaks, the automatic backup function does not occur.

• While using the back-up interface, BCM always calls. BCM does not answer an incoming call from a router on the V.92 interface.

Automatic dial-out interface configuration

Use the following procedure to create an automatic dial-out interface.

Management applications such as SNMP trap dial out, Scheduled Log transfer, Scheduled Backup, and Scheduled CDR records transfer can use automatic dial-out over an ISDN or Modem interface. To configure the automatic data transfer, the administrator must configure a static route with the auto dial-out field selected, and associate it with the application. When data is sent to the destination address, the network recognizes the address of the application, and triggers the dial-out to establish the connection.The packets are then sent over the link to the destination.

Prerequisites

• The dial-out interface must be enabled to configure static routes.

• The disconnect time for the interface must be greater than 60 seconds. This is configured on the Link Parameters tab of the selected interface under Configuration > Resources > Dial Up Interfaces.

• Auto dial-out routes cannot be added if the interface is already manually connected, unless the interface is already connected with auto dial-out routes configured.

• If an interface is enabled and configured for manual dial-out, the interface must be disabled before it can be configured for automatic dial-out.

The dial-up interfaces on the BCM are used as a Primary or Secondary interfaces. The BCM does not have default dial-up settings, the Administrator must add them. The following tasks can be configured to use dial-up as a primary connection:

• SNMP auto trap dial-out

• modem user secure callback

• CDR records retrieval

• backup to a remote destination

• log collection to a remote destination

• software upgrades

The basic steps to set dial-up as the primary connection are:

• Create or assign an account with remote access privileges.

• Create a dial-up interface, and enter the username of the account with remote access privileges as the dial-out username.

• Create a static route for the dial-up interface, or assign a dial-out number, depending on the type of device selected.

• Tell the application to use the route.
