Nortel Business Element Manager

The primary management application for configuring and administering the BCM50 system is

Nortel Business Element Manager. Element Manager is a client-based management application

that runs on a Windows computer. With Element Manager, you can connect to the BCM50 system

devices over an IP network and configure, administer, and monitor BCM50 system devices.

You can use the latest Element Manager version to manage all previous BCM systems that use

Element Manager. You need only one instance of Element Manager on your computer.

The Element Manager requirements are:

• Windows: Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista

• RAM: minimum 256 MB, recommended 512 MB

• free space: 150 MB

Element Manager access is also supported through a Citrix server.

Startup Profile

You can use the Startup Profile to customize a template with common BCM50 system parameters.

Then you can use this template to easily configure a single system or multiple systems.

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

then use a USB storage device to transfer the Startup Profile data to the BCM50 main unit.

Loading the Startup Profile adds about 5 minutes to the time for the BCM50 system to boot.

To use the Startup Profile template, you need:

• a computer with a USB port

• Microsoft Excel 2000 or later

• the Nortel BCM50 Startup Profile template (Microsoft Excel template)

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

Power supply mounting

enclosure

The power supply mounting enclosure packages up to three power supplies in one

enclosed case. You can neatly mount multiple power supplies with no excess cables.

You can install the power supply mounting enclosure in the same way as you install a

main unit or expansion unit.

Uninterruptable power supply

(UPS)

(if applicable)

An uninterruptable power supply (UPS) is an optional device that maintains

continuous operation during power interruption or failure conditions. The UPS

provides power-source monitoring and battery-backup activation so that critical

BCM50 functionality is maintained.

BCM50 supports American Power Conversion (APC) UPS devices that use a USB

control interface. The UPS control software configures various operational settings.

USB hub

(if applicable)

The USB port on the UPS uses a different communication speed than the USB port

on the main unit. Due to this difference, you must use a USB hub to connect the UPS

data connection to the main unit. The USB hub also provides additional USB ports.
