The BCM400 system can have one BCM expansion unit that contains six additional bays for

media bay modules (MBMs). The BCM expansion unit is not compatible with the BCM200

system.

The supplied DS256 cable is 5 m (16 ft.) long and connects into a DS256 port on the main unit,

and into a DS256 port on the center panel of the expansion unit (see Figure 3). Use of any other

cable is not supported.

Figure 3 BCM expansion unit DS256 port location

Note: The number of MBMs that can be installed is determined by the number of DS30

buses required by the MBMs and the number of buses available. It is not dependent on the

number of physical MBM bays available.

BCM 4.0 Installation Checklist and Quick Start Guide

Element Manager

The primary management application for configuring and administering the BCM system is

Element Manager.

Element Manager is a client-based management application that runs on a Windows computer.

You can connect to BCM system devices over an IP network and configure, administer, and

monitor BCM system devices.

Element Manager has the following system requirements:

• Windows: Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000, Windows XP

• RAM: minimum 256 MB, recommended 512 MB

• free space: 150 MB

The Element Manager application can be downloaded from the BCM web page (on the BCM main

unit) or from the Nortel support web site.

Element Manager allows you to connect to the BCM system devices through the LAN or with an

Ethernet crossover cable.

Element Manager access is also supported through a Citrix server.

Startup Profile

The Startup Profile enables an experienced administrator to customize a template with common

BCM system parameters. This template can be used to quickly configure a single system or

multiple systems.

You create the Startup Profile using the Startup Profile template (a Microsoft Excel template). You

then use a USB storage device to transfer the Startup Profile data to the BCM main unit.

Loading the Startup Profile adds approximately 5 minutes to the time for the BCM system to boot.

To use the Startup Profile template, you need the following:

• a computer with a USB port

Mounting a BCM main unit and expansion unit

Before you mount a BCM main unit or expansion unit, you must decide how you want to mount

the units. The main unit and expansion unit are typically mounted in the same manner. Nortel

provides three methods of mounting the BCM units:

• rack-mount

•wall-mount

• desktop-mount

Make sure that the expansion unit is installed close enough to the main unit so that the supplied

5 m (16 ft) expansion cable can be connected between the expansion unit and main unit.

Refer to the chapters “Installing a main unit” and “Installing an expansion unit” in the BCM200/

400 4.0 Installation and Maintenance Guide for more detailed information.

Installing a BCM unit in a rack

To install MBMs

1Ensure that the switches on the MBM are set correctly (see Table 6 and Table 7).

In the case of FEM MBMs, the switches activate the front ports. Ensure that the switches

accurately reflect the ports you require.

2Select an open MBM bay.

3With the face of the MBM facing toward you, insert the MBM into the open bay.

4Push the MBM completely into the unit. You will hear a click when the MBM is firmly seated

in the bay.

5Repeat steps 2 to 4 for each MBM you want to install.

Connecting the MBM wiring

Refer to the chapter “Installing a media bay module (MBM)” in the BCM200/400 4.0 Installation

and Maintenance Guide for more detailed information.

This section describes how to wire the cables that connect to the station and trunk MBMs.

• Station MBMs have one (ASM, DSM16, 4x16) or two (DSM32) 50-pin amphenol connectors

(25-pair cables).

• Trunk MBMs (CTM4, CTM8, 4x16, DTM, and BRI) connect to central office trunks using

RJ-type jacks. However, the GATM4 and GATM8 have a 50-pin amphenol connector (25-pair

cable).

Caution: Only install the MBMs when the system is powered down.

Warning: Use only qualified persons to service the system.

The installation and service of this unit must be performed by service personnel with the

appropriate training and experience. Service personnel must be aware of the hazards of

working with telephony equipment and wiring. They must have experience in techniques

that minimize any danger of shock or equipment damage.

Leakage currents: Service personnel must be alert to the possibility of high leakage

currents becoming available on metal system surfaces during power line fault events on

network lines. These leakage currents normally safely flow to Protective Earth ground

through the power cord. However, if the AC power is unplugged prior to disconnecting the

cables from the front of the base function tray, this hazard can occur.

System shutdown: You must disconnect the MBM cables from the system before

disconnecting the power cord from a grounded outlet.

System startup: You must reconnect the power cords to a grounded outlet before

reconnecting the cables to the MBMs.

Wiring the FEM

A fiber expansion module (FEM) allows you to upgrade from a Norstar system to a BCM system

by reusing the Norstar MBMs. The MBMs connect to the FEM using the same fiber cable that

connected them to the Norstar fiber expansion card.

To connect the fiber cables

1Ensure the BCM system is powered up and functional.

2Connect the fiber cables from the Norstar MBMs to the jacks on the FEM.

aConnect the Norstar Line Modules to the FEM beginning at fiber port 1.

bConnect Norstar Extension Modules to the FEM beginning at fiber port 6.

3Change the DN records in Element Manager or change the set wiring, as required, to match

your system.

Powering up the BCM system

Refer to the chapter “Connecting the cables” in the BCM200/400 4.0 Installation and Maintenance

Guide for more detailed information.

Warning: Handling optical fiber cables.

If the cable is too long, ensure that it is coiled correctly using the fiber spool. Coil excess

fiber cable carefully around the spool provided. Do not bend the cable around any tight

corners. Bends in the fiber cable must not be less than 100 mm in diameter. Place the fiber

cable spool into a slot at the back of the cable trough in the Norstar module.

Note: The DIP switch settings you chose determine which FEM ports are available. If you

enable all six FEM ports, the BCM system has no more DS30 resources available.

Therefore, you cannot connect more MBMs to the system.

Note: If you connect a Norstar station module amphenol cable directly to a DSM, you do

not have to modify the wiring connections. Ensure you select the correct DS30 number.

Caution: The BCM system is available in North American and International

versions. Ensure that the power supply is correct for your location. The BCM200

and BCM400 systems have standard power supplies and redundant power

supplies that adjust automatically to the required voltage.

Connection and configuration procedures

The initial configuration defines your BCM system to the network. It also gives the system a

unique identity and initial parameters. From that point, you can continue with the specific

configurations for your system.

This chapter provides the following connection and configuration procedures:

•“Connecting to the BCM system” on page 33

•“Downloading from the BCM web page” on page 36

•“Generating a software keycode” on page 37

•“Configuring the BCM system parameters” on page 37

•“Configuring the MBMs” on page 42

•“Customizing other parameters” on page 43

For more information about installing the BCM system (such as wiring charts and cable diagrams),

refer to the BCM200/400 4.0 Installation and Maintenance Guide.

Connecting to the BCM system

Refer to the chapter “Initialize the system” in the BCM200/400 4.0 Installation and Maintenance

Guide for more detailed information.

If you can use the default IP address, you can connect the BCM system to the LAN. This enables

you to configure the BCM system, through Element Manager, from any PC connected to the LAN.

If you can connect through a LAN connection, proceed to “Downloading from the BCM web

page” on page 36.

If you must change the IP address (due to a conflict with your network), connect to the BCM

system using an Ethernet crossover cable (see “Connecting through the Ethernet crossover cable”

on page 34), through the serial port (see “Connecting through the serial port” on page 34),or

change the IP address using Telset Administration.

Warning: Before using the default address on your network, check with your system

administrator. If this address conflicts with the LAN settings, you can cause network

damage if you connect to the network without changing the IP address.

Generating a software keycode

You require a keycode to enable software features your BCM system. You receive only one

keycode whether you purchase one feature or a bundle of features. You can load a keycode using

Element Manager, Startup Profile, or Telset Administration.

To generate a keycode, you require an authorization code for each feature you purchase.

For example, if you have one feature, you receive one authorization code and you will generate

one keycode. If you purchase four features, you receive four authorization codes, however, you

will still generate only one keycode.

To generate a keycode through the Nortel Keycode Retrieval System (KRS), you require:

• Username and password for the KRS (http://www.nortel.com/servsup/krs)

• BCM 4.0 feature authorization code for each feature

• BCM 4.0 system ID

For more information on keycodes, refer to the Keycode Installation Guide.

Configuring the BCM system parameters

Refer to the chapter “Configuring the BCM system” in the BCM200/400 4.0 Installation and

Maintenance Guide for more detailed information.

This section provides information on configuring the basic BCM system parameters (see Table 9).

You can configure the basic parameters using the Startup Profile template or Element Manager.

10 Copy the Startup Profile (.sps file) to the root directory of the USB storage device.

11 If you want to load your keycode using the Startup Profile, copy the keycode file to the root

directory of the USB storage device.

The name of the keycode file on the USB storage device must exactly match the filename you

entered in the Startup Profile editor.

12 Remove the USB storage device from the USB port of the computer.

The Startup Profile is now stored on the USB storage device.

13 Insert the USB storage device into the USB port of the BCM main unit before the BCM

system is powered up.

The BCM system automatically detects the Startup Profile file and loads the information

during the bootup sequence. Loading the Startup Profile increases the time for the BCM

system to boot depending on the selected parameters. See Table 10 for details about Startup

Profile times and LED status.

For more information on using the Startup Profile, refer to the BCM200/400 4.0 Installation and

Maintenance Guide.

Warning: Do not use the Startup Profile on a functional BCM system. The

current parameter values will be replaced with those defined in the Startup Profile.

Note: The Startup Profile functions only on a BCM system that does not have a keycode

file applied. After a keycode file is applied, the Startup Profile does not function. This

condition prevents overwriting of the parameters of a configured system.

To re-apply the Startup Profile, remove the applied keycode file by returning the system to

factory defaults using the BIT tool.
