Install telephones and peripherals

This section describes how to install telephones and peripherals.
You can add telephones and peripherals before or after you initialize your system. Telephone
configuration is determined by which station media bay module you are using.
The BCM50 system creates default settings for the telephone DN records when it is first
initialized. The settings are based on which telephony profile you chose. To change these settings,
use Element Manager application. Specific instructions for configuring telephone operation
through Element Manager are contained in the BCM50 Administration Guide (N0xxxxxxx).
Note: For detailed information on installing various telephones and peripherals,
refer to the documentation for your particular telephone or peripheral.
Note: Programming occurs on the telephone when the BCM50 recognizes the telephone
on the system.
Refer to the following sections for information on installing telephones and peripherals:
• "System telephones" on page 131
• "Emergency telephone installation" on page 134
• "Install IP Phones" on page 134
