    Supporting horizontal CAT6 runs

    Thanks again for the info. I was going to drill holes, but then I realized that there where already many pipes running below the joists, the basement already has 9ft ceiling, so losing an inch is not a big deal, plus its my house and I will never Sheetrock my basement ceiling and can't stand...

    Upgrade from BCM400 to 450?

    Thanks. I was also reading about using Nortel IP phones with the 450, and does it offer the ability to setup an IP phone without a VPN? Can I just point the phone to en external IP and NAT to the BCM450?

    Upgrade from BCM400 to 450?

    I found out recently that the BCM400 will no longer be supported. And I was reading about an upgrade kit that will take my BCM 400 ver.4.x to the BCM450 v.6.0. Is this upgrade even worth it? What new features does the bcm450 have with the ver.6 software? Any input would be appreciated...

    How do I Swap Extension numbers

    I appreciate everyone's assistance. I figured how to swap the existing DN's to the new IP phones. This new office space is going to be temp space while we have some work done to one of our floors. So, I will eventually need to switch them back to regular digital sets. Can anyone help me with...

    How do I Swap Extension numbers

    I think I am missing something here. I have the digital set unplugged from the system. I have the IP set "de-registered" but still plugged in. The IP set is asking for the password to connect it to the system. When I call either set, it displays "Not in service" The digital set still has...

    OK, so we are finally moving forward with this project. And I can't seem to get the steps above to work. I got the ext. moved, but the lines assignments and buttons did not move. Oldestgeek can you give me more details on this process? So far I tried: 1. unplugged the existing digital set...

    How do I Swap Extension numbers

    I currently have a BCM400 system. I want to move about 20 employees from their existing digital phones over to IP sets. How can I move their existing extensions over to a new IP phone? Do I plug in the new IP phone first, let the system assign it a random extension first? Then got into the...
