Hi All. I just moved office, and I thought I'd be able to plug and play my router and BCM50. I am using the same router, but my business element manager is not finidng the BCM50. I tried searching all IP addresses. Does anyone know how to ping it? or locate the IP address manually? Thanks!!!!

If you have the proper password you can go to a telset and step through Feature 9*8 to get the IP. This assumes the BCM is using DHCP as opposed to Static IP's. If your using static IP's than it would be the same IP as at the old office.

Find a M7310 / 7324 programming terminal which is connected to the BCM.
Press the Nortel / Feature key followed by 9*8.

The display will show ... User ID:_
RETRY OK

Key in the Nortel default telset ID of "XXXXXX", which is also XXXXXXX on the phones keypad. Then key in the default password associated with it of "XXXXXX" or (XXXXXX).

If it's successful, then the display will change to Feature Codes
NEXT OK

Press OK to list out the systems site ID SID:xxxxxxxxxxxx
NEXT BACK

Write down the site ID, in case you need to get the Keycodes!. Then press BACK.

This time at "Feature Codes", press NEXT 2 times to get to the IP Address menu.

Press OK. Display shows.. IP Address
CHNGE BACK

Display shows.. DHCP:Disabled
IP ENL BACK

Press IP. Display shows.. 192.168.0.150
NEXT CHNGE BACK

Press CHNGE, key in the new IP address. Use "*" as the "."
Once you have done that, the display will show "Subnet Mask". The current setting will be listed after a few seconds. i.e. 255.255.255.0
NEXT CHNGE

Press NEXT or CHNGE as required. The display will show "Default Gateway". The current setting will be listed after a few seconds. i.e. 192.168.0.1
NEXT CHNGE
Press NEXT or CHNGE as required. You will end up at the IP Address. If you have made any changes, then you will get a message "Restart Required", followed by..
