Nortel Norstar/BCM Digital Phones
Configuration
In order to use Norstar/BCM digital phones with UCX software, these phones must be connected to the DSM16. The DSM16 can be configured to communicate with a specific UCX Software using its Web-based Configuration Utility. This UCX Server configuration applies to all Nortel digital phones connected to the UCX DSM16.
Step One: Configure DSM16 to communicate with UCX Server
To specify the UCX Server to which DSM16 is connected, perform the following steps:
- From your Internet browser, enter the IP address of the DSM16 (See DSM16 - Web-based Configuration Utility) to open the DSM16's Web-based Configuration Utility.
- From the Gateway tab, select Call Server
- In the Primary Server IP field, enter the IP address of the UCX Server
- If the UCX Server does not use the default port number for Nortel phones (7000), enter the port number in the Primary Server Port field
- Press the Save Changes button to update the configuration of the UCX DSM16
Please refer to the DSM16 - Gateway Configuration for more information on the configuration of other parameters.
Step Two: Connect phones to the DSM16
Refer to the DSM16 - Wiring Chart for wiring information on the RJ-21 telephony connector. You can connect 16 Nortel digital telephones to the RJ-21 telephony connector on the system's main unit.
Step Three: Configure the phones
Refer to the Device Configuration page for details on configuring the options for Nortel digital phones connected to the DSM16.
To configure the phone on the UCX Server, follow the instructions for Adding an XSTIM Extension.
