8X16 Media Bay Module; Next Generation Ip Phones; Sip And H.323 Interoperability; Hardware Inventory - Nortel BCM50 3.0 Overview

8x16 Media Bay Module

BCM50 has an 8x16 Combo MBM to deliver GATM8 plus DSM16 capability in one MBM. It
requires only one expansion chassis and is available in all markets where the GATM8 or DSM16
is sold. This MBM is backward-compatible to BCM4.0.

Next generation IP phones

BCM50 supports Next Generation IP phones from BCM4.0. PVQM, Desktop Assistant, and
Business Element Manager button programming includes support for both existing sets and new
sets.

SIP and H.323 interoperability

BCM50 and SRG50 match BCM 4.0 SIP and H.323 interoperability. For SIP support, see
Initiated Protocol" on page
SIP interoperability includes the following products:
• CS1000 4.5 and 5.0
• MCS5100 3.5 and 4.0
H.323 interoperability includes the following products:
• CS1000 4.5 and 5.0
• CS2000 SN08 and SN09/09FF/09U
• CS2100 SE08 and SE09
• MSC5100 3.0 and 3.5
• IPT 3.01

Hardware inventory

As part of the BCM50 management changes, the Business Element Manager hardware inventory
panel and the Entity MIB allow you to remotely view detailed information about the CSC,
integrated router, and integrated BRI CDC hardware. Additionally, visibility of other FRU
components, such as fans, provides a complete hardware inventory view of all BCM50 hardware
components to the FRU level.

Proactive Voice Quality Monitoring

With the proactive voice quality monitoring (PVQM) capability, you can set call-quality
thresholds for IP sets and receive an alert and if these thresholds are exceeded. You can
proactively identify voice quality of experience (QoE) issues for every call. In turn, you can
troubleshooting of voice-quality issues within the network.
PVQM supports calls from an IP set to any other set or trunk. The measured call-quality metrics
includes the following.
• packet loss
• inter-arrival jitter
