Refer to the following sections for information on setting the initial parameters on the BCM50
system:
• “Startup Profile requirements”
• “Configuring basic parameters” on page 145
Startup Profile requirements
To use the Startup Profile template, you need the following:
• a computer with a USB port
• Microsoft Excel 2000 or greater
• the Nortel BCM50 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
the Nortel support website (www.nortel.com/cs), or the Administrator Applications page on
the main unit. Refer to “To download the Startup Profile template” on page 145 for details on
getting the Startup Profile template from the main unit
• a portable USB storage device compatible with USB 1.1 (formatted for FAT32)
Note: The USB storage device must be formatted for the FAT32 file system. If
necessary, reformat the USB storage device by plugging it into the USB port of
your computer, right-clicking the USB device icon, and selecting FAT32
reformatting. This destroys any data you had on the USB.
Note: The Startup Profile works only on a BCM50 system that has no keycodes loaded.
After the keycodes are loaded, the Startup Profile does not work. This condition prevents
unintentional overwriting of the parameters of a configured system.
Note: The Startup Profile template uses macros to perform certain functions. You
must set your Excel macro security level to medium or low to enable the macros:
• From the Tools menu, select Macros, then select Security..., and select
Medium or Low.
• Exit from Excel.
• Open the Startup Profile template (in Excel).
• Enable macros if prompted.
