BCM Technical Configuration Guide V1.1 May, 2006 Abstract This Technical Configuration Guide (TCG) documents one specific application of an ISDN BRI based Polycom VideoStation 512 system. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ NORTEL External Distribution...
Point to point video conference systems have become imbedded into the fabric of today’s small and medium business who are seeking cost reductions by leveraging their telecommunications infrastructure. To this end, Nortel’s Business Communications Manager (BCM) provides the necessary converged infrastructure to enable this type of application.
V1.1 May, 2006 2. Programming The following information is intended to supplement the existing suite of Nortel Business Communication Documentations. It is intended for an informed and experienced audience familiar with programming, administration, and maintenance of a BCM. 2.1 Before You Start 2.1.1 Pre-requisites...
The objective of the following steps is to insert and activate the ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) MBM into the BCM. Firstly, identify an available BUS, and set the dip switches accordingly; in this example, we are using BUS 06. Once inserted, set the programming to “Trunk Module”. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ NORTEL External Distribution...
Figure 3: BRI Media Bay Module - BUS 6 With the BRI MBM in place, continue the programming by selecting Module 1 and configuring this as a “BRI-ST” interface.

Note that the screen captures detail one of the two DNs that must be programmed. The first step is to ensure that the DNs are correctly identified as being of type ISDN. Repeat for both ISDN DNs to be associated with the video unit. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ NORTEL External Distribution...
The Calling Line ID (CLID) or Outgoing Line Identification (OLI) is the key to ensuring that the far end system will call back the originating system to complete call setup. In this case, our tests were performed on Nortel’s corporate network, which operates on a five digit dial plan. For these purposes, the OLI was set to the BCM’s prime DN (34190), and was padded with zeros to fill out a full 10 digit as if it was a complete public number.
The next steps consist of giving the ISDN DNs access to the PRI network facilities. In this BCM, the PRI lines have been assigned to the pool PRI-A; use the “add” command highlighted in the figure below. Figure 9: ISDN DNs - Line Pool Access _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ NORTEL External Distribution...
PRI lines have been pooled into pool PRI-A, and that the access code for this pool is 6. Follow the screen captures below to ensure that the routing in your system is consistent with the customer preferences. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ NORTEL External Distribution...
Figure 13: Call Routing - Route 2.7 Target Line In this example, the programming of the target line allows the BCM to route any incoming calls with the Called Number of 34190 to be routed to DN 2468. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ NORTEL External Distribution...
It should be noted that during the development of this document, three (384 Kbps) and four (512 Kbps) loop configurations were setup and tested. 2.9 Polycom The unit utilized for our testing was a VideoStation 512 running software Release 7.2 – March 10, 2002. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ NORTEL External Distribution...
