Configuring E&M Line Features - Nortel BCM50 Configuration Manual

Configuring E&M line features
The following procedure describes the fields that need to be confirmed or set for these lines. For
detailed field descriptions, refer to
1 Confirm or change the settings on the Trunk/Line Data main panel:
• Line: Line number.
• Trunk Type: E&M.
• Name: Identify the line or line function.
• Control Set: Identify a DN if you are using this line with scheduling.
• Line Type: Define how the line will be used. If you are using routing, ensure it is put into
line pool (A to O). If you use line pools, you also need to configure target lines and assign
the target lines to DNs. Refer to
• Prime Set: If you want the line to be answered at another telephone if the line is not
answered at the target telephone, otherwise, choose None.
• Pub. Received #: Not applicable.
• Priv. Received #: Not applicable.
• Distinct Ring: If you want this line to have a special ring, indicate a pattern (2, 3, or 4).
• Use remote package: If this line is used for remote call-ins or is part of a private network,
ensure you specify a valid package.
2 Configure the trunk/line data (Properties tab):
• Dial mode: The line service dictates whether this needs to be set to Pulse or Tone (DTMF)
dialing. These are the only two options available.
• Signaling: Match this choice with the information supplied by the service provider.
3 Set the preferences (Preferences tab):
• Auto privacy: If you activate this feature, the line is available only to the telephone that
answers the call.
• Aux. ringer: Use if your system is equipped with an external ringer, you can enable this
setting to allow this line to ring at the external ringer.
• ANI number: Enable if the caller number is to be logged. For T1 lines, this only appears if
Signaling is set to WinkStart.
• DNIS number: Defines whether the digits dialed by an external caller on this line will be
shown.
• Answer mode: If this line is used for remote call-ins, determine how you want the line to
answer (Auto or Manual). If the answer mode is set to Auto, decide whether the caller will
be immediately connected to the system or whether a stuttered dial tone will require the
caller to enter a CoS password.
• Voice message center: If the system is using a remote voice mail, select the center
configured with the contact number.
• Distinct rings: If you want this line to have a special ring, indicate a pattern (2, 3, 4, or
None).
