Feature Coverage
BCM50 is the model in the Nortel Business Communications Manager range which is specifically adapted for the small customer site. As with the larger BCM models, the BCM 50 has a rich feature set, with an advanced suite of applications and connectivity.
In line with its positioning within the BCM product family, several of the BCM50′s capacities and capabilities are less extensive than that of BCM200 and BCM400. If a particular customer site requires capabilities beyond that of BCM50, it is recommended that one of the larger BCM systems be used.
The purpose of the following table is to help identify the differences in capacity and functionality between BCM50 Release 1.0, BCM200 Release 3.6 and BCM400 Release 3.6. Additional comments are indicated for BCM 3.7 enhancements on BCM200 and BCM400.
