Use H.323 and in the BCM set the protocol to "Other". Do you HAVE to use the BCM? It's a really horrible system. I worked for many years in tech support, and I've been involved in BCMs since the beta trials of version 1.0, four years ago. I know BCM, and I can tell you that it is one of the worst telephone systems ever produced. Check out the spec sheet:
- The operating system is Windows NT 4.0 -- no really, an EIGHT YEAR OLD OPERATING SYSTEM. - The MSC card is a Norstar KSU that they put on a PCI card. That's FIFTEEN YEAR OLD technology - and it shows. - The platform is an Intel Pentium III 700Mhz, with 256megs of RAM, and a 20meg hard drive. How much do they want you to pay for it? - Many of the critical scripts in the system are DOS batch files (I am NOT kidding!). The BCM is famous for it's instability (go figure), and mind-numbingly stupid interface. Unless you have a lot of money to waste on obsolescence, I'd remove the BCM completely from the equation. If you have to go Nortel, go with a Succession (even a Norstar would be a more stable choice, and you can tie it into a VoIP gateway with PRI trunks). You might want to consider not using Nortel's VoIP technology at all -- I don't think they fully understand VoIP yet. Better would be to tie any Nortel gear into your VoIP network using legacy trunking through, say, an Asterisk gateway, like this: [NT PBX/KSU]---PRI---[Asterisk]=====(WAN cloud)=====[Asterisk] I wouldn't use the BCM as a boat anchor, but for sure it should NEVER be used as the core of a VoIP network - it's just a key system, and not a very good one at that!
