BCM expansion unit (BCM400 only)

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.

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.

Chapter 2 System overview 15

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

• Microsoft Excel 2000 or later

• the Nortel BCM 4.0 Startup Profile template (Microsoft Excel template)

If you do not have the Startup Profile template on your computer, you can get a copy from the

BCM web page (Administrator Applications) on the BCM main unit.

• a portable USB storage device compatible with USB 1.1 (formatted for FAT32)

Note: The Startup Profile is not available for BCM1000 systems.

“Unpacking, placing, and wiring telephone hardware” on page 31

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 rack-mount a BCM unit (main unit or expansion unit), you need the rack-mount kit included with the main unit.

BCM 4.0 Installation Checklist and Quick Start Guide

24 Chapter 3 Physical installation

To install MBMs

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

4 minutes/MBM

1

Ensure 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.

2 Select an open MBM bay.

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

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

5 Repeat 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).

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.

Chapter 3 Physical installation 25

Danger: Electrical shock hazards

Electrical shock hazards from the telecommunications network and AC mains are possible with this equipment. To minimize risk to service personnel and users, the BCM system must be connected to an outlet with a third wire ground. In addition, all unused slots must have blank faceplates installed. The covers on all units must be in place at the completion of any servicing.

Warning: Electrical shock warning.

The BCM MBMs have been safety approved for installation into BCM main units and expansion units. It is the responsibility of the installer and user to ensure that installation of the BCM hardware does not compromise existing safety approvals.

Before you open the BCM main unit or expansion unit ensure that the network cables are unplugged and the unit is disconnected from the AC power source.

Station MBMs: The ports on these MBMs are meant to be connected only to approved digital telephones and peripherals with the proper cables on a protected internal wiring system.

Do not connect any telephones to wiring that runs outside of the building.

To connect the DTM, CTM, BRIM, or 4x16 MBMs

Chapter 3 Physical installation 29

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.

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.

To connect the fiber cables

1 Ensure the BCM system is powered up and functional.

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

2 minutes/MBM

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.

a Connect the Norstar Line Modules to the FEM beginning at fiber port 1. b Connect Norstar Extension Modules to the FEM beginning at fiber port 6.

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

Powering up the BCM system

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

“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 .

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Maintenance Guide.
