Registering Nortel 20XX and 11XX IP telephones
The Nortel IP telephones must register with the system to be able to use the call features and
system features.
Determining the registration process
Registering IP telephones to the system is a two-stage process.
1 Set up the system programming to receive registration under Resources > Telephony
Resources > IP Terminal Global Settings tab .
On the Global Settings panel:
a Select the Enable registration check box.
b If you want the installers to use a single password to configure and register the telephone,
select the
Enable global registration password check box, and then enter a numeric
password in the Global password field.
c If you want the system to automatically assign DN records to the telephones, select the
Auto-assign DNs check box.
2 Configure each telephone ( “Configuring telephone settings” on page 50 ).
How you configure the telephones depends on whether DHCP is active on the system.
Note: Ensure that you have loaded the appropriate keycodes to activate
the Nortel IP telephones on your BCM50 system.
Note: To automatically configure IP Phones with DNs assigned:
1) Select the Enable registration check box.
2) Select the Enable global registration password check box.
3) Leave Global password field blank.
4) Select the Auto-assign DNs check box.
Once the IP Phones are operational, clear the Enable
registration check box.
Security Note:
Turn Enable registration and Auto-assign DNs off when the
telephones are registered. Nortel cautions that leaving your IP registration open and
unprotected by a password can pose a security risk.
