Introducing the Business Communications Manager 
This chapter describes the Business Communications Manager hardware required to create the 
system.
The Business Communications Manager system provides private network and telephony 
management to small to medium-sized businesses. With this system, you can create a telephony 
system that suits your special business requirements. This compact system allows you to set up 
access to the public network. As well, you can create private networks between remote sites which 
also have Business Communications Systems or Meridian 1 equipment. Private networks can be 
created using dedicated central office (CO) lines or through a LAN or WAN internet connection 
using voice over IP (VoIP) trunks. You control your own system from your desktop using the 
Unified Manager and CallPilot applications.
The system supports a variety of Nortel Networks telephones which support many user and call 
features. These features can be programmed by the system manager during the initial installation 
of the telephone. Some features can also be programmed by the users through their telephones.
CallPilot voice mail and Auto Attendant applications are part of the basic Business 
Communications Manager system. If you require more extensive coverage, such as more voice 
mail boxes or the call center application, additional features are easily activated using software 
keycodes.
