BCM50 - Adding 3rd party IP phone 1

[Guyger]

Hi guys,

I've got a BCM50 and I'm trying to add an Aastra 6731i IP Phone to it. I have the required IP seats (8 in all), I've got a PoE switch and the phone does get an IP address from the BCM 50 (it shows up in the DHCP lease tab)

But that's all I get. Viewing the BCM50 with BCM monitor, the phone doesn't use up an ip phone license, and the phone display shows "No Service"

I've tried to configure the phone to the best of my knowledge, but I'm missing something.

Can someone please help me? What info do I need in the phone? Where do I tell the phone the IP of the BCM50? Do I need a username/password to connect to the BCM50? I tried many different options, but now I don't quite know what do try next.

Thanks in advance!
Guy

By the way Nortel is not Nortel anymore they are Avaya.
