Business Communications Manager 3.5
changes affecting the BCM1000
BCM 3.5 program updates
This document provides supplemental information for the BCM 3.5 software release
for systems using BCM1000 hardware that has been upgraded from earlier versions of
the Business Communications Manager software.
This includes:
• Security chan ges on page 15
• New hardware on page 16
• Market profile changes on page 23
Security changes
Business Communications Manager 3.5 introduces a number of security
enhancements with the ad dition of a s ec urity layer to the programing. One change that
particularly affect s maintenance proc edure s is the shift from the Telnet interface to
using a secure interface (SSH-based) to access the text-based Unified Manager menus
from a computer connecting to the Business Communications Manager over a LAN,
for instance when you want to initialize a new hard disk. Connecting to the BCM1000
through a serial or crossover cable configuration is not affected by this change.
If your company wishes to continue using Te lnet over the LAN or if you have DECT
equipment, the Telnet service can be manually enabled through the Unified Manager,
under Services. If you have DECT equipment, Telnet is required to run the DECT
programming.
The client SSH application is called PuTTY. A link to download this application to
your desktop can be found under the Install Clients button on the first page of the
Unified Manager. The application installs on your computer, not on the Business
Communications Manager. Therefore, if you want to use a LAN to connect to the
Business Communications Manager hardware during maintenance procedures, you
must install PuTTY on your computer before beginning any procedures that require
you to access the text-based interface.
As well, the connection to the Unified Manager is now through an https// link rather
than
http//. To log on to the Unified Manager you enter: https//<BCM IP address> on your
browser . Any existing bookmarks will automatically convert to https// during the
connection process.

Amphenol
connector
There are two models of GATM:
GATM 4: The GATM4 provides connections for four analog calling line identification (CLID) or
Supervision Disconnect PSTN lines. Each voice line uses one line in the DS30 bus offset. Since each
DS30 channel has four lines per offset, you can assign a maximu m of four GATM4s to a single DS30 bus
by making the offset switch settings different for each module.
GATM 8: The GATM 8 provides connections for eight analog calling line identification (CLID) or
Supervision Disconnect PSTN lines. Each line uses one line in the DS30 bus offset. Since each DS30 bus
has four lines per offset, you require two offsets for each GATM8. You can assign a maximum of two
GATM8s to a DS30 bus, by making the offset switch settings different for each module. You can also
combine a GATM 8 with a 4X16 module on the same DS30 number. When you choose an offset number
for the GATM 8, the system automatically adds the next offset number . You cannot assign offset 3 to the
GATM 8 module, because this does not allow the module to assign the second set of lines.

There are two sets of DIP switches located on the rear of the GATM module. The left set allows you to
determine the DS30 bus and offset for the module.
The right set of switches allows you to manually configure a country profile operation, which is required
for earlier versions of software. However, BCM 3.5 software supports downloadable firmware for the

Wiring the GATM
The other trunk media bay modules are connected using RJ-type jacks. The GATM, however, uses an
amphenol connector. These cables can be supplied by qualified technical personnel to ensure the correct
pin-out.
War ning: Use only qualified persons to service the syst em.
The installation and service of this unit must be performed by service personnel with the appropriate
training and experience. Service personnel must be aware of the hazards of working with telephony
equipment and wiring. They must have experience in techniques that minimize any danger of shock or
equipment damage.
Warning: Leakage currents
Service personnel must be alert to the possibility of high leakage currents becoming available on metal
system surfaces during power line fault events on network lines. These leakage currents normally safely
flow to Protective Earth ground via the power cord. However, if the ac power is unplugged prior to
disconnecting the cables from the front of the base unit, this hazard can occur.
BCM1000, BCM 3.5 addendum 19
System shutdown: You must disconnect the media bay module cables from the system before
disconnecting the power cord from a grounded outlet.
System startup: You must reconnect the power cords to an grounded outlet before reconnecting the
cables to the media bay modules.
Danger: Electrical shock hazards
Electrical shock hazards from the telecommunications network and ac mains are possible with this
equipment. To minimize risk to service personnel and users, the Business Communications Manager
system must be connected to an outlet with a third wire ground.
In addition, all unused slots must have blank faceplates installed. The covers on all units must be in
place at the completion of any servicing.
To connect the Global analog trunk module (GATM) to the network, follow these steps:
1. On the front of the module, locate the amphenol connector.
2Wire one end of the cable to the telco demarcation blocks of the building.
3Wire the other end of the cable to the analog lines. Refer to the figure and table on the next page.

* Auxiliary port function: In download mode, the auxiliary port function for all profiles operates as a true Auxiliary
port. This means that when the power comes back on, and if the Aux Port is in-use, that line will show on the
system telephones as being in-use (LCD indicator lit) until the Aux Call is cleared.
In dipswitch mode, the North American and Taiwan auxiliary ports also act as true auxiliary ports.
However, the UK and Australia profile auxiliary port function is different. In these profiles, when the power is
restored, the Aux Port call is terminated and the line is available to system telephones.
BCM1000 Installation and Maintenance GuideP0607659 02
Auxiliary equipment
The BCM 3.5 software release also introduces support for some auxiliary equipment:
• A new telephone and add-on module are being introduced to replace the M7324/CAP module as a Central
Answering Position ( CAP). A T7316E tele phone conne cted to one or more Key In dicator Module s (KIMs) is still
referred to as a CAP. When it becomes an enhanced CAP (eCAP), the KIMs support line appearances, multip le
appearances of the same target line, and hunt group appearances. Ref er to
and KIMs below.
• The BST Doorphone is installe d outside exterior doors. The device provides ringing at one or more system
telephones and/or an ale rting tone through the paging feature.
Verbal communication can be initiated to the doorphone by dialing the doorphone DN from any system
telephone. Communication can be initiated from the doorphone by pressi ng the Call button to create a ring or an
alert at the assigned internal telephone. The voic e path is c reated when the user at the internal telephone answers
the call, either by picking up the handset or pressing the Handsfree butt on.
With the addition of Door Ope ning Controll er ( DOC) hardware, the user can also open the door usin g a telephon e
display key or r elease digi t on th e telephon e dial pad. Refe r to the BST Doorphon e Inst allation and Conf iguration Guide for details about conf iguring the system and installing the hardware .
• This release of fi rmware also introduces support for a Univer sal Power Supply (UPS). This third-party hardware
provides short-term power backup in case of a main power failure on your Business Communications Manager.
The UPS has separate installation and configuration documentation specific to Business Communications
applications. Also, the unit comes with manufacturer instructions.
BCM1000, BCM 3.5 addendum 21
T7316E Business Series Terminal
T7316E Business Series Terminal and KIMs
The T7316E BST telephone has a two-line display, three display keys, 16 memory keys with indicators,
eight memory buttons without indicators. This telephone has handsfree ability, accessed from a button
located under the dial pad. Also under the dial pad are a mute button that mutes for all features, and a
headset button which allows the user to attach a headset and direct the call to the headset or the handset
without needing to disconnect the headset. In progr amming, the handsfree feature must be set to Auto for
these features to work correctly.
T7316E
Mute
Handsfree
Headset
On this telephone model, the current incoming call on this telephone defaults to the voice path last used.
For example, if you answered the previous call using your headset, the next call will come in over your
headset.
P0607659 02BCM1000 Installation and Maintenance Guide
22 BCM1000, BCM 3.5 addendum
The T7316E can be used alone or you can expand feature and line button capacity by adding one or more
Key Indicator Modules (KIMs). Each KIM has 24 buttons with indicator displays. A combination of
T7316E+KIMs is still referred to as a Central Answering Position (CAP).
A KIM connected to a T7316E that is configured under CAP/KIM assignment as an enhanced CAP
(eCAP) supports line appearances, multiple appearances of a target line and/or hunt group appearances.
In this configuration, the KIM is referred to as an eKIM. A T7316E supports a maximum of four eKIMs.
The Business Communications Manager can support a maximum of 12 eCAPs.
T7316E with KIM
A T7316E+KIM that is not configured in system programming does not support line appearances, target
line appearances, or hunt group appearances. For this configuration, the KIM is referred to as an OKIM.
A T7316E can support a maximum of nine OKIMs. You need to add a system auxiliary power supply
(SAPS) if you install five or more OKIMs on a T7316E. The system can support as many
T7316E+OKIM combinations as required.
You can configure the KIM buttons for features and autodial numbers under User Pref erences,
CAP/KIM button p r ogramming. The user can also configure memory button features at the telephone.
The user can move lines from the T7316E to an eKIM, or from eKIM to eKIM, but initial line assignment
and hunt group appearance assignment occurs in system programming.
The T7316E telephone displays a set of icons in place of flashing arrows when it is connected to a
system with BCM 3.5 software. If you connect a T7316E telephone to a system that is running previous
versions, the standard line indicators display. The KIM also displays these icons. KIMs are only
supported by BCM 3.5 and later software.

Business Commu nications Manager 3.0.1
functional changes for BCM1000
BCM 3.0.1 program updates
This document provides supplemental information about release 3.0 for systems using
BCM1000s that has been upgraded from Business Communications Manager, software
version 3.0 to version 3.0.1 (maintenance release).
Initializing the hard disk (single-disk system)
The BCM1000 is normally initiali zed at the factory. However, if you have to replace the hard
drive in a single-disk BCM1000 running BCM versi on 3.0.1 (3.0 maintenance release), you
must re-initializ e the Business Communications Manager.
After you replace the hard disk and the system has booted up, perform the initialization as
follows:
1. Ensure the Status LED on the Business Communications Manager is lit. The
Status LED indicates that all services have started and the Business
Communications Manager is operating correctly.
2Attach a configuration computer to the base function tray serial port
(recommended method). Continue to the next step in this procedure when
complete.
Note: When you replace a hard disk, IP configuration data is lost. The
Business Communications Manager IP address defaults to: 10.10.10.1
You can access the Business Communications Manager through your local area
network, using the IP address 10.10.10.1. However, if another network
terminal uses this IP address, conflicts and network problems can arise.
3Access the Business Communications Manager from the configuration terminal
using the terminal emulation program. Use the Business Communications
Manager default IP address (10.10.10.1).
4Enter the terminal emulation program, as described in Finding the configuration
menus on page 170. The Main Menu should display (Figure 1).

Business Communications Manager 3.0
functional changes for BCM1000
BCM 3.0 program updates
This document provides supplemental information about release 3.0 for systems using
BCM1000s that has been upgraded from BCM 2.5 software.
This information includes:
•Platform compatibility
•Explaining Double Density
•Setting module DIP switches for double density on page 35
•Upgrading from a standard system on page 39
•Initializing the hard disk (single-disk system) on page 40
Platform compatibility
Business Communications Manager 3.0 is Windows XP compatible, therefore, any references
in the main document about required computer platforms can include computers running
Windows XP.
Explaining Double Density
Business Communications Manager 3.0 soft ware now utilizes the B2 channels on DS30 buses
02 to 07 for digital telephones, thereby, doubling telephone capacity. The following figure
shows a DS30 bus broken down into four offset groups of four (single density) or eight (double
density) lines each.
Figure 11 Offsets are part of DS30 bus line groups
Offsets
have
four lines (single density)
8 lines (double density)
The default 3.0 system is a Partial Double Density (PDD) system, in that it maintains DS30 06
and 07 in the original configuration of 16 lines per bus. This accommodates those systems
which use Companion. If you choose to set your system to Full Double Density (FDD),
DS30 06 and 07 become FDD and are no longer available for Companion operation.
To take advantage of the double density functionality, you require DSM16+ or DSM32+
modules. The existing ASM8 modules can also utilize FDD.
Offset 0
Offset 1
Offset 2
Offset 3
1 DS30 bus
16 lines/32 time slots (single density)
32 lines/32 time slots (double density)
Functional changes, 3.0 software
Note: Devices that share a DS30 channel must be identical. Use two DSM 16+ modules in
full double density mode on a single DS30 channel. Likewise , use two DSM 32+ modules
in full double density mode on a single DS30 channel.
34 BCM1000, BCM 3.0 addendum
Full double density means that instead of a DSM16 module occupying a full DS30 bus, the DSM16+ can be set
to double density, so that it occupies only half the bus, allowing you to install a second DSM16+ set to double
density with offset 1. This doubles the available telephone lines from 16 to 32. Similarly, where the DSM 32
required two DS30s, if the DSM32+ is set to double density, the module only requires one DS30 bus to support
all 32 lines. The ASM8 requires no special settings to take advantage of double density. You can simply install
four modules on one DS30 bus, with the dip switches set to the four offsets. The exception is for DS30 06 and 07
if they are set to PDD. In that instance, you can still only install two ASM8s per bus.
Figure 12 shows how much of a DS30 bus each station module requires.

PDD note: If DS30 6 and 7 are in
partial double density mode, you can
only install modules set to single
density. This also means that only two
ASM8s could be installed on each
DS30 bus.

The following diagram provides a system view of what double density looks like from a system perspective. Note
that this example is based on the default setting, which provides partial double density to DS30 06 and 07.

allow single-density modules. DS30 02 to 05 are set to allow
double density modules.
Double density
Systems configured with Full double density (FDD), do not
allow Companion telephones. All DS30s are set to allow
double density modules.

Setting module DIP sw itches for double dens ity
Doubling the available telephone lines also requires additional DN records to accommodate the additional
telephones. The following charts show the DIP switch settings for single and double-density. Note that the ASM8s

one mode or the other.
Note that the second set of 16 lines are not consecutively numbered from the first set. This was done to
accommodate existing installations.
ASM 8 switch settings
In a single density configuration, such as for DS30 06 or 07 when they are set to the default PDD, only offset 1
and 2 are available to ASM8s. In a double-density configuration, you can install four ASM8s per DS30 bus. Table
1 shows the switch settings for each DS30 bus and the dialing numbers (DNs) assigned to each DS30.

DSM16/DSM 32 single density switch settings (upgraded system)
The following table shows the switch settings for DSM modules deployed as single density on a system that has
been upgraded from Business Communications Manager version 2.5 to version 3.0. All your current modules are
probably single-d ensity modules. If you intend to continue to use them, you do not have to change any settings.
They will continue to function in the same manner as before.
DSM16+ and DSM32+ modules can be set to either density. To set them for single density, refer to the following
table. To set them to double density, refer to the table under
DSM16+ and DSM 32+ double density switch
settings (upgraded system) on page 37.
Note that Companion sets can only be assign ed on DS30 06 and 07, which have single-density DSM modules.
Companion handsets have a different set of default DNs than the digital sets. Also, Companion can only be
deployed on systems that remain at Part Double Density (PDD), the default condition of 3. 0 systems.

Chapter 1
Introducing the Business Communications Manager
This chapter describe s the Business Communications Manager hardware required to create the
system.
The Business Communications Manager system provides private network and telephony
management to small to medium-sized businesses. With this system, you can create a telephony
system that suits your speci al business requirements. This compact system allows you to set up
access to the public networ k. As well, you can cre ate private networks between remote si tes which
also have Business Communicati ons Systems or Meridian 1 equipment. Private networks can be
created using dedicat ed central office (CO) line s or through a LAN or WAN internet connection
using voice over IP (VoIP) trunks. You control your own system from your desktop using the
Unified Manager and CallPilot a pplications.
The system supports a variety of Nortel Networks telephones which support many user and call
features. These features can be programmed by the system manager during the initial installation
of the telephone. Some features can also be programmed by the users through their telephones.
CallPilot voice mail and Auto Attenda nt applications are part of the basic Business
Communications Manager syst em. If you require more extensive coverage, suc h as more voice
mail boxes or the call center application, additional features are easily activated using software
keycodes.

Chapter 1 Introducing the Business Communications Manager73
Power supply — The BCM1000 can have a single (standard) power supply module or a redundant
power supply module. Single power supply Business Communications Manager equipment can
also be upgraded to redundant Busine ss Communications Manager system by install ing a
redundant power supply in place of the standard power supply.
Note: Power supplies for the BCM1000 are auto-switching power supplies.
The power supply on an original 2.0 system has a voltag e switch that must be set to the
correct voltage.
Cooling fan — The BCM1000 can have a single cooling fan or a redundant set of fans. Units with
redundant power supplie s always have two cooling fans.
•BCM1000 systems upgraded from 2.0 hardware to redundant power supply systems use a
piggy-back fan configur ation.
•The BCM1000 2.5 hardware has side-by-side fan ports.
Hard disk — The BCM1000 can have either a single hard diskor a mirrored disk configuration
(RAID 1). Units delivered with the mirrored disk configuration can als o have redundant power
supply and fan assemblies installed, although redundant power supplies and fans are not a
requirement for running disk mirroring.
The Business Communications Manager supports the RAID 1 disk mirroring protocol. This
protocol creates an exact data duplicate of the system hard disk on a second, co-locate d hard disk
within the BCM1000. If one of the hard disks becomes inoperable , the system continues with
normal operation on the remaining disk. You can then schedule disk replacement during normal
maintenance peri ods. This process does not replace your BRU backup disks, which should still be
run on a regular schedule and should be kept offsite . The data backup and recovery process (BRU)
are discussed in the Business Communications Manager Programming Operations Guide.

Telephony hardware
The BCM1000 is a modular system. You can increase the capacity of your Busi ness
Communications Manager by adding more tele phony hardware components known as media bay
modules.
The BCM1000 accommodates three media bay modules. The BCM1000e accommoda tes an
additional six modules . The number of media bay modules that can be added to your system is
determined by the number of media bays that are open, combined with the number of DS30
channels each component occupies. Each Business Communications Manager system has a
maximum of six DS30 channels available to media bay modules.
If your system r equires many IP lines or trunks, you can reduce the number of DS30 channels that
are assigned to modules and increase the number of channels available to IP teleph ones. This is
called a 3/5 DS30 c hannel split. I n this case, you only have five DS30 channels available to media
bay modules. Refer to “Understanding DS30 channel numbers” on pa ge 114 for more information.
Warning: Changing the DS30 channel split
89
If you change the channel split fr om 2/6 (default) to 3/5 after the system is initialized, any
module set to DS30 channel 7 or requiring the use of channel 7 becomes inoperable.
If you change the channel split from a 3/5 s plit to a 2/6 split after the system is initialized,
all data is lost and all optional applications must be reinstalled and reconfigured.
Refer to Chapter 4, “Selecting the media bay modules for your system,” on page 111 for details
about determining how many media bay modules can be installed in a system.
As well, this chapter describes the various types of telephone equipment that can be used with the
Business Communications Manag er system. Figure 24 provides pointers to the sections that
describe the modules and telephones that can be installed into the BCM1000.

Power connections
The back of the modules have a single connector that provides a DS256 channel and power to the
module. These connectors plug into the back of the media bay on the BCM1000 or BCM1000e.
Some modules also have a cooling fan that runs off the module power source. Figure 26 shows the
rear views of the two types of modules.

Module wires are vulnerable to breakage.
See Warning below.
Warning: Media bay module wire shorts
The wires that connect the media bay module daughter board to the module can become
pinched between the module and the BCM1000 media bay if you insert the modules off
the straight or with to o much f orce. This will c ause a sh ort in the eq uipment and could st op
the Business Communication s Manager from restarting.
Note: Some of the new modules, such as the DECT module, do not have this wiring
configuration . However, inserting the module carefully and correctly is still important to
securely connect the power connector on the module to the backplane of the media bay.

Caller ID Trunk media bay module
(North American systems only)
The CTM and CTM 8 have the same functions.
•The Caller ID Trunk media bay module (CTM) connects a maximum of four analog calling
line ID (CLID ) interfaces to the Busin ess Co mm u ni cat io ns Ma n ag er sy stem via fo ur RJ 11
jacks on the module face. These jacks are labeled: Line 1, Auxiliary, Line 2, Line 3, and Line
4. The auxiliary jack connects to Line 1.
•The CTM8 provides eight analog CLID interfaces to the Business Communications Manager
via eight RJ11 ja cks on the module face. Each jacks also supports disconne ct supervision.
There are two auxilia ry jacks on this module whic h connect to Li ne 1 and Line 5. Not e that t he
top line of jacks is numbered in reverse order.
The auxiliary ports permit you to connect a V.90 modem, FAX machine, or single-line analog
telephone. When the auxiliary device is active, the Business Communications Manager system
blocks the associated line. Conversely, when the line is active, the auxiliary port line is blocked.
When you connect a single line analog tel ephone to the auxiliary port, you can use it as an
emergency tele phone because this line remains active if a power outage occur s.
