To power up the BCM system

6 minutes

Note: If you are using the Startup Profile to configure the BCM system, insert the USB storage device (containing the Startup Profile file) into the USB port on the main unit before powering up the system.

1Connect the BCM main unit power cord to an electrical outlet that is a non-switchable, third-wire ground AC outlet.

If you use a power bar, plug the power cords into the power bar and connect the power bar to the AC outlet.

2Connect the BCM expansion unit power cord to an electrical outlet that is a non-switchable, third-wire ground outlet.

Danger: Do not fasten the BCM main unit or expansion unit power supply cords to any building surface.

3Turn on the power switch located on the BCM main unit and expansion unit. The BCM system powers up.

Connecting the data networking hardware

Refer to the chapter “Connect the cables” in the BCM200/400 4.0 Installation and Maintenance Guide for more detailed information.

This section describes how to connect network cards to the BCM system.

Warning: If the default IP address creates a network conflict, you must change the IP address of the BCM system before you connect to the network. Refer to “Connecting to the BCM system” on page 33 for detailed instructions about connecting to the BCM system.

The data networking hardware (MSC) is installed in the BCM main unit at the factory. All systems have dual embedded Ethernet interfaces. Some models come with an embedded V.90 modem. WAN cards and modems are ordered separately.

Note: Your BCM system might have a different WAN card than the one described. Refer to the documentation that came with your WAN card.

To connect the BCM system to the WAN
