• DPNSS
• BRI: ETSI QSIG
•T1: E&M
• VoIP trunks (with optional MDCN)
BCM systems can be networked together using T-1, PRI or VoIP trunks. PRI SL-1 lines and VoIP
trunks also offer the opportunity to use the MCDN protocol, which provides enhanced trunking
features and end-to-end user identification. If a Meridian 1 is part of the MCDN network, the
network can also provide centralized voice mail and auto attendant off the Meridian.
MCDN note: MCDN networking requires all nodes on the network to use a common Universal
Dialing Plan (UDP) or a Coordinated Dialing Plan (CDP).
Keycode requirements
Keycodes are required to activate the protocols that are used to create private networking,
including:
• VoIP Gateway keycodes
• an MCDN, DPNSS, or Q. Sig keycode, if you want to use a networking protocol between the
systems
You must purchase and install these keycodes before you can create any of the networks described
in this chapter. Consult with your Nortel distributor to ensure you order the correct keycodes for
the type of network you want to create.
Remote access to the network
Authorized users can access TIE lines, central office lines, and features from outside the system.
Remote users accessing a private network configured over a large geographical area can avoid toll
charges.
Note: MCDN is referred to as SL-1 in Element Manager.
Note: You cannot program a DISA DN or Auto DN to a VoIP trunk, as they
act as auto-answer trunks from one private network to the next. However, you
can configure VoIP line pools with remote access packages so that callers can
access telephones or the local PSTN on remote nodes on a tandemed network
that use VoIP trunks between systems.
