Installing telephones and peripherals
You can add telephones and peripherals before or after you initialize your system.
Telephone configurations are determined by which station module you are using, and what DS30
bus settings you chose for the module. Refer to Chapter 2, “Telephony hardware,” on page 33,
Chapter 4, “Selecting the media bay modules for your system,” on page 57, and Chapter 7,
“Setting media bay module DIP switches,” on page 83.
The system creates default settings for the telephone DN records when it is first initialized. The
settings are based on which telephony profile you choose when you run the Quick Start Wizard. To
change these settings, use the Unified Manager application, System DNs headings. Specific
instructions for configuring telephone operation through the Unified Manager are contained in the
Business Communications Manager Programming Operations Guide.
System telephones
The Business Communications Manager system supports a number of analog, digital, IP telephony
and cordless telephones. Refer to “Telephones and adapters” on page 48 for a description of these
telephones.
Analog telephones are supported either through analog modules (ASMs) or by connecting to a
digital module through an Analog Terminal Adapter 2 (ATA2).
Documentation describing installation and set features is supplied with each piece of equipment.
Analog terminal adapter
The Analog Terminal Adapter 2 (ATA 2) connects a standard analog voice device or data
communication device to a digital line connector on a media bay module on the BCM1000.
Refer to the installation instructions that come with the module for proper installation. Also refer
to the ATA Installation and Configuration Guide and the Analog Telephone User Guide.
Note: Programming occurs on the set when the Business Communications Manager
recognizes the set on the system.
Caution: Off-premises extensions (OPX) are only supported on an ASM8+.
Digital and all other analog telephones must not be installed on any connections not
protected by building equipment.
