Introducing the BCM hardware
The Nortel Business Communications Manager (BCM) system provides private network and
telephony management capability to small and medium-sized businesses. The BCM system
integrates voice and data capabilities, voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) gateway functions, and
quality of service (QoS) data-routing features into a single telephony system. The BCM system is
a compact system that enables you to create and provide telephony applications for use in a
business environment.

Warning: External equipment connected to the auxiliary ringer, page relay, page
output, and music-on-hold interfaces must use safety extra low voltage (SELV).
All four interfaces are SELV, and the external equipment connected to these
interfaces must be SELV. If these interfaces are not SELV, you must use external
line isolation units (LIU).
