To Connect The Bcm50 To The Lan - Nortel BCM50 Installation And Maintenance Manual

Table 23 LAN ports on the BCM50 (Sheet 2 of 2)
Port Name Function
Router card The router card LAN ports are used to connect network devices, such as IP telephones to
LAN ports the LAN.
These ports are connected to the network switch built into the BCM50. Any devices
connected to these ports are on the same subnet as the device connected to the LAN
port.
BCM50 The BCM50 Expansion Unit LAN port is used to connect network devices, such as IP
Expansion Unit telephones to the LAN.
LAN port
These ports are connected to the network switch built into the BCM50. Any devices
connected to these ports are on the same subnet as the device connected to the LAN
port.
Warning: Check with your network administrator before you connect the BCM50 to the
network to ensure there are no IP address conflicts.
The default IP address for the BCM50 system is 10.10.10.1 with a Subnet of
255.255.255.0.
If the default IP address would create a network conflict, you must change the IP address
of the BCM50 before you connect the BCM50 to the LAN.

To connect the BCM50 to the LAN

1
Connect one end of a standard Ethernet cable to your LAN.
2
Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the LAN port on the BCM50 Main Unit.
3
If you want to use the internal BCM50 network switch to connect another IP device to the
LAN, connect an Ethernet cable between the IP device and one of the additional LAN ports on
the BCM50 (Router card LAN ports, Expansion port, or BCM50 Expansion Unit LAN port).
Note: When connecting a network switch to the BCM50 LAN port, use a straight
through Ethernet cable. When connecting an IP device (such as a computer or IP
telephone) to one of the additional BCM50 LAN ports, use a Ethernet crossover cable.
4
Repeat step 3 for each IP device you want to connect to the LAN using the BCM50 switch.
