BCM50 expansion and SIP compatibility
BCM50 expansion and SIP compatibility
(OP)
Hi all
Just a few questions hopefully someone can answer please
OK so at RLS 6 latest updates is a licence still required (which obviously is no longer available)to add an expansion module to the BCM50
In terms of the registration of SIP trunks to the BCM50 how open ended was it. Should most trunks or accounts that have a user name, password and domain name register without issues to the BCM50 again with the proper licenses or were some accounts or trunks easier to get working than others
Was it possible to register open SIP handsets to the BCM50 or did it just accept Unistim protocol handsets to register
thanks all

-Each SIP carrier can have different rules but the BCM is powerful enough to accommodate them.
-SIP sets are not supported on the BCM, only the Succession.

We have "played" with SIP phones that was developed at release 6.0, but was never released and therefore not supported. I personally that that they were more troublesome and you would be better off hooking the BCM to an Asterisk Server such as one that I have recently tried with a tiny Raspberry Pi at release 3 and I was using the FreePBX software.

RE: BCM50 expansion and SIP compatibility
Have managed to get the sip trunks working however the volume of voice transmission on calls bcm side isn't as good as it was with the bri gateway still using sip. Is there any settings anywhere on the bcm 50 to allow for transmission gain of voice. Probably not.
I am also wanting to try out the 2050 soft phone. Is there still an evaluation licence included when downloading the softphone on the avaya website. I have enough ip licence so it's the softphone licence I am referring to as I thought in the past there was an evaluation 30 day licence included
Cheers

I've used SIP trunks on my BCM50 for about 5 years with minimal problems. Volume has never been an issue, so I can't speak to that problem.

RE: BCM50 expansion and SIP compatibility
It is for the reasons above I say that especially in a public forum, I prefer not to mention it anymore unless special circumstances.
It's like giving you hope but in the end it's grief.
As for the 2050 you need to use version 2 as it does not require a license, which is a different type of license.

Curly Cord version 2 is virtually impossible to get - just version 1. I did think that there was a 30 day trial with the latter versions but if there is then it doesn't seem to be on installation and must require some form of modification

Not true
When you boot up any UnisTIM phone on a PBX it will ask for just the password.
When you boot up any SIP phone on a PBX or Carrier(SIP Trunk) the phone will then ask you to enter a user and password.
SIP Trunks from a carrier can be used with a SIP set alone or by a PBX for it's own sets be it Private or Public just like POT's lines.
Do not confuse SIP Sets with SIP Trunks.
Had Avaya continued programming the SIP Sets then you would see it's own set of programming.

I'd go for an Asterisk Server with SIP trunks from the BCM. I have been playing with a Raspberry Pi using FreePBX software as it's free.

RE: BCM50 expansion and SIP compatibility
Curly cord in my case what you see in the photo is what I get everytime I register a new set to the system. The response to this prompt has always been to enter 738662 as mentioned then the next screen will ask for the registration password which is either 266344 or whatever other password is set
I appreciate now though why there is a reluctance to offer support via this channel for the sip sets as obviously the settings are in a different section and only via keycode which are only opened via the unofficial method. If I make contact with you outside of forum can you assist with these features further
Thanks again
