Telephones
The BCM can communicate using digital telephones (7000, 7100, 7100N, T7208, 7208, 7208N,
7316, 7316E, 7316E+KIMs, and 7310), cordless telephones (7406), and IP telephones and
applications (Nortel IP Phone 2001, IP Phone 2002, IP Phone 2004, and Nortel IP softphone
2050). With this much flexibility, the BCM can provide the type of service you require to be most
productive in your business.
While analog and digital telephones cannot be connected to the BCM system using an IP
connection, they can make and receive calls to and from other systems through VoIP trunks. Calls
received through the VoIP trunks, or other IP telephones, to system telephones are received
through the LAN or WAN card and are translated within the BCM to voice channels.
Gatekeepers
A gatekeeper tracks IP addresses of specified devices, and provides routing and (optionally)
authorization for making and accepting calls for those devices. A gatekeeper is not required as part
of the network to which your BCM system is attached, but gatekeepers can be useful on networks
with a large number of devices.
When planning your network, be sure to consider all requirements for a data network. Consult
your network administrator for information about network setup and how the BCM fits into the
network.
SIP Proxy
A SIP Entity that receives requests and sends them on to another proxy or to their final destination.
A Proxy uses the information retrieved from the Location Service in order to find an alias or an
actual destination address for the request. Alternatively, a Proxy can be statically configured, in
which case registration is not necessary
.
IP Network
WAN
A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a communications network that covers a wide geographic area,
such as state or country. For CallPilot, a WAN is any IP network connected to a WAN card on the
CallPilot system. This can also be a direct connection to another CallPilot system.
If you want to deploy IP telephones that will be connected to a LAN outside of the LAN that the
BCM is installed on, you must ensure the BCM has a WAN connection. This includes ensuring
that you obtain IP addresses and routing information that allows the remote telephones to find the
BCM, and vice versa.
Note: Model 7000 phones are supported in selected markets only.
