Telephone Features Programming Guide
Chapter 1
Telephone configuration overview
Your Business Communications Manager telephone system has many features that you can
customize on your telephones to accommodate changes in your workplace. The system supports a
variety of telephone types, and not all features are available on all types of telephones. These
anomalies are noted.
Configuration tool: Unified Manager
Unified Manager is the computer-based tool used to program the system telephony features, and
settings for each telephone and all external lines. Multiple levels of programming are accessible
through Unified Manager, based on your user name and password. The system administrator has
full access, and must understand how the entire system functions. As a telephony administrator, the
user name and password you use to access the Business Communications Manager Unified
Manager from your web browser, probably provides access only to specific telephone functions.
This guide only describes procedures that can be performed at a telephone. This guide also
describes the function of features that require access to the Unified Manager to configure, but the
process for setting the feature is not detailed. For more information about navigation and
performing feature configuration using Unified Manager, refer to the Business Communications
Manager Programming Operations Guide.
Telephone types
The Business Communications Manager supports a number of digital telephones, IP telephones,
cordless telephones, and ISDN equipment.
Figure 1 shows the M7324 (North America) and M7324N (International) digital telephones, which
can be used for systems that require a central call management person.
Features described in this guide are based on what is available on digital telephones with
two-line displays that have display keys, such as the M7310/M7310N, M7324/M7324N,
and the T7316 telephones. Telephones with one-line displays use dialpad characters to
respond to prompts. The T7000 has no display, but it does have four programmable
memory buttons.
Not all features described in this manual are available through the cordless handsets or
ISDN equipment. Refer to the telephone user cards and feature cards, and to the specific
installation and configuration guides, for feature information specific to these telephones.
