Chapter 1 Introducing the Business Communications Manager 55
Installation and Maintenance Guide
• BCM1000e — a separate cabinet with six additional bays for media bay modules. It connects
to the BCM1000 through an DS256 RJ45 connector. A Business Communications Manager
five-meter DS256 cable is included with the BCM1000e (expansion cabinet).
• Telephones and adapters — Business telephones and adapters connect to the media bay
modules installed in the BCM1000. Business Communications Manager supports Norstar and
Business Series Terminal telephones, as well as IP-based Nortel Networks telephones.
The Nortel Networks i2002 and i2004 IP telephones and the Nortel Networks i2050 Software
Phone have separate installation and operations documentation. Refer to the main index on
your system CD.
The system also supports four types of cordless telephone systems: Companion, DECT, T7406
Business Series Terminal (BST), and the Symbol NetVision and NetVision Data telephones.
Companion installation information is included in this guide and in the Programming
Operations Guide. Installation documentation for the other three systems is provided in
separate documentation for each system. Refer to “Telephones and adapters” on page 83 for
information about the handsets and the hardware they use to connect to the system.
Data networking components
The data networking components connect the Business Communications Manager system to the
local area network (LAN) and/or the wide area network (WAN). These components are installed at
the factory.
• Modem card (North American systems only) — a V.90 modem that sends and receives data
using the public telephone system.
This connection can be used to:
— manage the Business Communications Manager system from a different location
— provide dialup backup for a WAN card
• LAN interface card — a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet network interface card that connects the
Business Communications Manager system to the local area network.
• WAN interface card — a network interface card with a T1 interface and sync port that
connects the Business Communications Manager system to the wide area network (WAN).
The WAN card connects to a T1 PSTN line with an integrated T1 DSU/CSUs (North
American). The WAN card can also connect to a T1 PSTN line with an X.21 or V.35 interface
(Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA)).
