This guide is for provisioning and setting up the Nortel Millennium with the community-made backend, mm_manager.

This guide assumes you already have wiring for the 24V power and a landline cable.

This guide will be using the Grandstream HT802 and a Dell/Lenovo Conexant Modem.

Connect your Nortel Millennium to Port 1 on the Grandstream.
Connect your USB Modem to Port 2 on the Grandstream and plug in the USB end to your computer of choice.

Temporarily unplug the modem in Port 2 and plug in another landline phone.
On the phone, dial ***. Once you hear "Enter a menu option", type 02. Enter the IP it gives you into your browser.
Make sure you are on the same network as the Grandstream. Additionally, not all phones allow you to dial ***.

Under Port 1, enter the details for your VoIP provider.
Next, go to Port Settings > FXS Port 1 > Analog Signal Line Configuration and enable Polarity Reversal & disable Line Echo Canceller.
Additionally, set Jitter Buffer Type to "Fixed" and Jitter Buffer Length to "Low" or "Medium".
Note the Port number for Port 2 from the Port Status screen (usually 6060). This number can change when making changes but rebooting the ATA will set it back to 6060.
Now go to Port Settings > FXS Port 1 > Call Settings. Under Dial Plan, enter the following: { <18004104104=*47127*0*0*1*6060> | 911 | 411 | 611 | 988 | 1xxxxxxxxxx | [2-9]xxxxxxxxx | 011x+ | x+ | \+x+ | *x+ | *xx*x+ } (This assumes you're using 1-800-410-4104 as your manager number, you can change this)
The dial plan will route all calls for 1-800-410-4104 to FXS Port 2, which is your USB modem. This allows the Millennium to talk with mm_manager.

Download mm_manager from this link and compile it using the provided instructions.
Next, find the COM number your modem is on (Usually COM3 or COM4). On Windows, you can find it in Device Manager.
Create a shortcut to mm_manager like this:
<path_to_mm_manager.exe> -m -n 18004104104 -f \\.\COM# -vv -l install.dlog -p install.pcap
Replace 18004104104 with your manager number and the # after COM with the COM number your modem has.
Now start up mm_manager. If everything goes right, you should see "Waiting for call from terminal..." at the bottom of the console window.

When you plug in your phone for the first time, you should see "* out of service *" printed on the bottom line.
On the phone's keypad, type 2727378 (CRASERV). When the phone prompts for a PIN, enter any above 50000 and press *.
When the phone prompts, unlock the terminal with the T-Key near the top left of the housing. If you're using a desk terminal, specify a card number in mm_manager and insert that card when prompted.
On the next screen, press # to install.

First, the phone will ask you to preform a C.O. connection check. Take the receiver off hook and put it back on hook once "Completed: 00" is displayed.
Next, the phone will ask for the line number. Enter the phone number for the terminal and press *.
Next, the phone will ask for a serial number. 1234567890 will work fine.
Next, the phone will ask for the NCC number. Enter the number you are using for mm_manager, which is the one you specified in mm_manager's launch options and in the ATA dial plan.
The phone will then preform an answer detection check. If this fails, make sure you enabled Polarity Reversal on the ATA in Step 3.
Once "Press * to start NCC download" appears, wait 15 seconds, and then press * to download the configuration. This can take around 5 minutes.
Afterwards, complete the various tests the phone has you do. Once completed, lock the terminal to put it in service (standard millenniums) or press # to put it in service (desk millenniums).
If you do not have an ID bezel, you may need to open the phone to insert the calibration coins.
