Introduction
Your Business Communications Manager telephone system has many features that you can
customize to keep up with changes in your workplace.
Unified Manager
Unified Manager is the tool used to program settings for the system telephony features, and
settings for each telephone and external lines. Multiple levels of programming are accessible
through Unified Manager. You access the Business Communications Manager Unified Manager
from your web browser. For more information about navigation and making selections using
Unified Manager, see the Business Communications Manager Programming Operations Guide.
Telephone types
Figure 1 shows the three different Business Series Terminals, as well as the M7324 and M7324N
telephones. See “T7100, T7208, T7316, M7324 and M7324N telephones” on page 20.

Name a telephone or a line
You can assign names to identify external lines, target lines, and your colleagues’ telephones.
During a call, the name (if programmed) appears on the telephone display instead of the external
line number or internal telephone number of the caller. You need to start a Unified Manager Nortel Meridian BCM 50
session to program this feature. For more information about programming using Unified Manager,
see the Business Communications Manager Programming Operations Guide.
Telephone names and line names can contain both letters and numbers, but cannot be longer than
seven characters. You cannot use the # and * symbols.
Extension numbers
Each telephone in the system has an extension number. The length of extension numbers in your
system can range from two to seven digits. All numbers in your system are the same length. Your
installer assigns the length of extension numbers, called the extension length. The default
extension length is three.
To find out your internal number, use the Button Inquiry feature (≤•‚) from an intercom
button. On the T7100 telephone, Button Inquiry shows your internal number followed by the
function assigned to the memory button.
Note: You can give the same name to a telephone and a line in your system. Use
initials, abbreviations, or even nicknames to give each telephone a unique name to
avoid confusion.
24 Chapter 1 Introduction
P0937240 02
Line assignment
You can assign any of the lines in your system to any of your telephones. Your installer assigns
lines to telephones. Assignments for lines are:
• appear only
• appear and ring
• ring only
Lines assigned to a telephone automatically have a line button on that telephone, when a button is
available. The T7100 telephone has no line buttons.
Prime line
You can program your telephone to select an internal, or external line, or a line pool automatically
when you lift the handset. This is your prime line.
Private line
A private line is limited to a selected telephone. You can pick up calls put on hold, or not answered
on a private line, only at the prime telephone.
Target line
A target line routes a call directly to a selected telephone, or group of telephones. Target lines are
only for incoming calls. A single incoming line can provide connections to several different target
lines. Target lines allow each person or department in the office to have their own number without
having a separate external line for each number.
Overflow call routing
If a call comes in to a target line that is busy, the system routes the call to the prime telephone for
that target line. If there is no prime telephone assigned to the target line, or if you cannot direct a
call to a target line, the call goes to the prime telephone for the external line.
Overflow routing for incoming calls uses the routing service programmed by your installer.
Service must be active for overflow routing to operate. Overflow routing is not available in normal
service.
Note: When you make a call and the programmed route is busy, you hear the
expensive route warning tone and see a display indicating the use of an expensive
route. To avoid using the normal, expensive route, release your call.
Because overflow routing directs calls using different line pools, a call might be
affected by different line filters.

Answer calls
There are three indications of an incoming call:
• ringing
• a line button flashing
• a message on the display
You do not always receive all three indications for any distinct call. For example, you can have a
line set up not to ring at your telephone. If so, you see only a flashing line button. There are many
possible combinations, depending on your system set up. For more information about the use of
lines, see “Line buttons” on page 42.
Ring types Nortel Meridian BCM 50
There are several different types of ring.
Distinctive Line Ring
There are four Distinctive Ring patterns (DRP) for incoming calls.
Call Ringing
When more than one call rings at a telephone, highest proprity DRP rings through first.
A double beep every ten seconds A call is camped to your telephone.
A long single ring There is an external call on the line for you.
A shorter double ring There is an internal call on the line for you, or a call
is being transferred to you.
A brief single ring A call arriving on an external line is redirected to a
telephone outside of your system. You cannot
answer this call.
Three beeps descending in tone You are receiving a priority call.
DRP 4 Highest priority
DRP 3 2nd highest priority
DRP 2 3rd highest priority
DRP 1 Lowest priority

Call Answering
When more than one call rings at a telephone, the user lifts the handset and automatically answers
the call with the highest priority.
For more information about the Distinctive Line Ring feature, refer to the Business
Communications Manager Programming Operations Guide.
Line buttons
For each line assigned to your telephone, you have one line button. Press the flashing line button to
select the line you want to answer. Having several line buttons gives you immediate access to more
than one line.
The T7100 telephone has two intercom paths, instead of line buttons, to answer calls. You can
assign two lines to each T7100 telephone. You can press ≥ to switch between two calls, one
active and one on hold.
What line indicators mean
Information about a call on the display
If you subscribe to Call Display services from your local telephone company, one line of
information about an external caller appears on the display after you answer a call. Depending on
the setting and the external information available, either the caller name or telephone number
appears on the display. When you transfer an external call to another telephone in your system, the
same information appears on the recipient’s telephone display.
Depending on the services you subscribe to, Call Display information can contain up to three
parts: Nortel Meridian BCM 50
Note: External calls have a higher priority than internal calls.
You cannot press ≤•fl to change the ring type on a telephone when
the Distinctive Line Ring feature is in service.
Ω Flashing on and off for equal
lengths of time

answering a call, Call Display information appears on the display of the telephone that answered
the call. Your installer or customer service representative can program telephones to have
automatic Call Display.
Change which call information appears first
If the information is not available from your telephone company, you can see Unknown name or
Unknown number on the display. If the caller blocks that information you can see Private name or
Private number on the display.
You need to start a Unified Manager session to program this feature. For more information about
programming using Unified Manager, see the Business Communications Manager Programming
Operations Guide.
Priority Call
If you receive a priority call and your teleph one has no free internal line buttons, you cannot Nortel Meridian BCM 50
transfer the priority call, you must accept or release it.
Answer calls at a prime telephone
The prime telephone is normally the attendant’s telephone. The installer or customer service
representative programs a prime telephone for a line. Calls not answered at their normal
destinations transfer to the prime telephone. Business Communications Manager allows for a
prime telephone for each line if needed. The prime telephone display gives information about the
call, as in the following examples.
The person at telephone 221 has forwarded a call to you using
Do Not Disturb.
The system has transferred a call to you from a telephone with
Do Not Disturb turned on.
No person answered this call so the system transferred it to you.
A person camped, parked or transferred a call on line 061, but
no one has answered the call. Press

Central answering position (CAP) module
A CAP module is an add-on device that provides 48 additional memory or line buttons. You can
connect one or two CAP modules to the telephone to increase the number of lines it can handle. A
CAP can monitor system telephone status, answer external calls on up to 120 lines, and send up to Nortel Meridian BCM 50
30 messages to other system telephones.
A central answering position (CAP) is an M7324 or M7324N telephone and a CAP module(s) that
your installer or customer service representative programm ed as a CAP. You can have up to five Nortel Norstar Meridian BCM 50
telephones programmed as CAPs connected to Business Communications Manager. The CAP is
best as the prime telephone and direct-dial telephone for the lines and telephones. Refer to “CAP
module with M7324 and M7324N telephones” on page 34.
There is no telephone that can receive a call on line 061 so the
system has transferred it to you.
The call coming in on line 002 for target line 052 has come to
you because Line 052 is busy.
For other displays, see Appendix B, “Common display prompts and error messages,” on

Trunk Answer
The Trunk Answer feature allows you to answer a ringing call in any area in the system from any
telephone in the system. The line you are answering does not have to appear or ring at the
telephone you are using.
Trunk Answer works only with calls that are ringing on lines for which a Ringing Service schedule
is active, and if your installer or customer service representative enabled Trunk Answer. If there is
more than one incoming call on lines in a Ringing Service, the Trunk Answer feature picks up the
external call that has been ringing the longest. Nortel Meridian BCM 50
