Appendix B

Initializing the system

After you start the BCM system, you are ready to set the initial configuration parameters.

The initial configuration defines your BCM system to the network. It also gives the system a unique identity and initial parameters. From that point, you can continue with the specific configurations for your system, which are described in the BCM 4.0 Administration Guide and the other user guides for each optional application you choose to add to your system.

Data parameter requirements

Obtain the following parameter values from an Internet service provider (ISP) or corporate network administrator.

•initial IP address and netmask for each network interface

•primary (and optional secondary) DNS servers

•default next-hop router

•fractional T1 channel numbers (if you are using fractional TI)

•system name

•WAN link protocol

•frame relay DLCI/CIR (if applicable)

•V.90 or V.92 modem settings (North America only)

Using the default BCM system IP address

All BCM systems are shipped with this default address:

•IP address: 10.10.10.1

•Subnet: 255.255.255.0

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.

You can also connect to the BCM system using an Ethernet crossover cable (see “Using the Ethernet crossover cable” on page 30) or through the serial port (“Connecting through the serial port” on page 31).

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.
