Telephony system and device programming

This section provides links to the telephone and telephony system programming areas of the
system.
Within the context of the network, system telephones act as call end points or call initiation
devices.
• To make or receive calls, telephones must be set up with the correct line assignments.
• To make calls, users must know the correct routing codes and dial strings to reach other
internal or external devices.
Refer to the BCM50 Networking Configuration Guide
line setup and numbering plans.
How telephones handle incoming and outgoing call traffic is determined by telephone features.
Some telephone features are set up for the entire system, while other parameters are configured on
a per-device basis.
• System-wide telephony feature configuration
The system telephony settings must be set correctly to ensure that telephones can be
programmed correctly.
— "Global telephony settings" on page 17
• Telephone record configuration
Once the system features are determined, the telephone DN records then allow you to refine
how each of telephone interacts with the system. DN record configuration can depend on what
features you want the user to have access to, or what features the type of telephone can
support.
