BCM50 management
You can quickly and easily install, configure, and administer BCM50. These topics summarize the
BCM50 management areas:
• "Ease of installation"
• “Remote management accessibility” on page 33
• “On-box and device manageability features” on page 33
• “Set-based administration” on page 34, for “no-PC” programming of most of the system
• “Business Element Manager” on page 34, interface that supports all aspects of BCM50 2.0
element management
• “Network Configuration Manager (NCM)” on page 37, for multi-element support
Ease of installation
BCM50 installation is simplified with innovative hardware and management tools.
The simple rack-and-stack nature of BCM50 physical installation, with the multipurpose
RJ-45-based connector strategy, gives you ease of installation. The dedicated RJ-45 port for
management access gives you easy access to the unit for on-site PC-based element management
tasks.
For BCM50 installations that require data networking, IP sets, or VoIP trunking, BCM50 can
function as a DHCP client to a network DHCP server for automated IP address assignment.
BCM50 can also function as a DHCP server to provide both IP phone sets and a directly connected
Element Manager PC with their IP configuration.
If you use set-based programming, you can install and program BCM50 telephony and
applications through set-based administration. Installers who familiarize themselves with
set-based programming use the keypad of any telephone connected to the system to program the
system without requiring access to a PC.
All configuration can be performed using the “Business Element Manager” on page 34.
Startup profile
To accelerate the initial installation programming of system-level parameters, you can use the
Startup Profile to quickly bring the BCM50 to a basic operational state, ready to program, without
having to use Element Manager or set-based administration.
The Startup Profile is an easy-to-use template you can datafill using Microsoft Excel.
The Startup Profile gives you a quick interface for defining parameters such as:
• system profile including country, telephony template, and key voicemail attributes
• system IP parameters
• system-level telephony attributes to automatically create the system DNs
