Installation architecture
This chapter describes the architecture of a typical Business Communications
Manager 450 (BCM450) system, including the main unit, expansion cabinets,
and related equipment. The mounting options for your BCM450 system and
the DHCP details are also discussed.

System architecture
The primary hardware component of your BCM450 system is the main unit.
Each BCM450 system must have one main unit.
In addition to a main unit, the BCM450 system can include a BCM450
expansion cabinet. An expansion cabinet connects to the main unit and
provides additional functionality through one or more installed media bay
modules (MBM).
You can connect your BCM450 system directly to a power source or through
an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
For a visual representation of a BCM450 system, the following figure.

Figure 1 BCM450 system architecture
DHCP and IP addressing
Each main unit includes a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server.
This DHCP server supplies Nortel IP Phones and client computers with IP
addresses and connection information.
You can configure the DHCP server using Element Manager.
When the DHCP client is enabled, the main unit receives IP configuration from
a DHCP server.
External DHCP server not available
If no external DHCP server is available, the main unit uses the following
default IP configuration:
IP address: 192.168.2.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.254.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
The DHCP server on the main unit supplies IP configuration information for all
IP devices (PCs and IP Phones). The DHCP server also supplies specific
connection information to the IP Phones.
External DHCP server available
If an external DHCP is present, the BCM450 system uses the IP configuration
supplied by the external DHCP server.

Nortel Business Communications Manager 450 1.0
Installation — System
NN40160-301 01.04 Standard
July 2009
Copyright © 2006-2009 Nortel Networks
The DHCP server on the main unit must configure a range of IP addresses to
supply to the IP Phones.
The factory default DHCP server address range is set to 192.168.2.3 -
192.168.3.254. This allows for more than 500 addresses.
Use Element Manager to verify and change the default range.
The administrator must ensure that this range works with the network
configuration; the external DHCP server does not use the range.
Mounting options
You typically install the main unit and expansion cabinet in the same manner.
Ensure you install the expansion cabinets close enough to the main unit so
you can connect the supplied 5 m (16 ft) expansion cable between the
expansion cabinet and main unit.
Nortel provides three methods to install the BCM450 units:
•Rack-mount installation
•Wall-mount installation
•Desktop-mount installation
Rack-mount installation
You can install a BCM450 main unit in a standard 19-inch equipment rack
along with your other networking and telecommunications equipment. You
install the BCM450 expansion cabinet in a similar manner to the main unit.
Wall-mount installation
You can mount a BCM450 main unit or expansion cabinet on a wall. To mount
the unit on a wall, you need the following items:
• A wall-mount bracket kit NTAB3422
• Four #10 x 2.5 cm (#10 x 1 in.) round-head wood screws
• A plywood backboard 2 cm (3/4 in.) thick
To mount the expansion cabinet, you need the following items:
• A wall-mount bracket (supplied with unit)
• Two #10 x 2.5 cm (#10 x 1 in.) round-head screws
• A plywood backboard 2 cm (3/4 in.) thick
Desktop-mount installation
You can install a BCM450 main unit or expansion cabinet on a desktop or a
shelf.

Miscellaneous features
The following sections describe some additional features of the BCM450
system.
External music source
You can connect an external music source for music on hold. For more
information about installing an external music source, see Connecting the
music source using the music source jack (page 72).
Analog telephones and devices
You can use an analog terminal adapter (ATA2) to install analog telephones
and data devices, such as fax machines, on your BCM450 system. For more
information about installing an ATA2, see Analog terminal adapter installation
(page 85).
Element Manager
You can use Element Manager to configure and monitor your BCM450
system. For more information about installing Element Manager on a PC, see
Element Manager installation (page 91).
Startup Profile
An experienced administrator can use the Startup Profile tool with common
BCM parameters. You can use the Startup profile to quickly configure one or
multiple systems.
Create the Startup Profile using the Startup Profile template (a Microsoft
Excel template). Then use a USB storage device to transfer the Startup Profile
data to the BCM main unit. For more information about Startup Profile and
templates, see Nortel Business Communications Manager 450 1.0
Configuration—System (NN40160-503).
Attention: Voicemail parameters are not available through Startup Profile.
Line and data connector wiring
For information about connecting telephone and data lines to media bay
modules (MBMs), see Lines and extensions connection (page 63). For
information about connecting the BCM450 to a LAN, see LAN connection
(page 75).

BCM450 installation preparation
Verify that your site meets all requirements and that you have the required
main unit and expansion cabinet components before you install the BCM450
system.
Prerequisites to BCM450 installation preparation
• The BCM450 expansion cabinet is an optional component. The expansion
module increases the number of media bay modules (MBMs) you can
install in the system.
BCM 450 installation preparation procedures
This task flow shows you the sequence of procedures you perform to prepare
to install your BCM450 system. To link to any procedure, go to
BCM450 installation preparation navigation (page 18).
