Having a brain fart

[Cyclonedc]

I am trying to find documentation or something showing a Nortel IP 2007 phone is able to have a KEM using a BCM 50. Can anyone help me get something that shows this. I've looked at all the documents on the Nortel website, and either I'm overlooking it, or it just doesn't give me alot about KEM systems. I am mostly looking for a 24 button KEM for the 2007 phone.

I don't believe any i2007 can take a KEM. I don't have one laying around to look at, but I believe those only work on 2002 or 2004 phones.

Ok, thanks, I thought that 2007 was able to have a KEM of some sort. I might have only been thinking of 2002 or 2004 though.

I've seen a KEM on a I2007, but it was on a CSK1.

biv is correct according to comparison chart.

Do you by chance know what the KEM model number or even the type was. I know that CS systems are different than BCM, but it might have a way to find one compatible with the BCM

I thought a BCM 50 couldnt handle a KEM....

BCM 50 can handle a KEM, but only the IP phones of 2002 and 2004. The problem is, my client has an IP 2007 phone and needs a few more buttons for extensions.

The IP Phone 2007 can not physically support an IP KEM due to the fact that it does not have an expansion port on the back, as well as the place for the stylus blocks where the KEM would sit.

If you need additional buttons, then I'd recommend replacing that phone with an i2004. It doesn't have a high-res screen (or the capability of some of the XAS functions), but other than that, they're pretty much the same phone.

Ain't it great how they move a CS IP phone to a BCM, but fail to add the correct pieces and parts to help make it work how you need it? But I figured as much with that one. Thanks for the input.
