34Appendix B Initializing the system

Software keycode

You require a keycode to enable software features on the BCM system. You receive only one keycode whether you purchase one feature or a bundle of features.

To generate a keycode, you require an authorization code for each feature you purchase.

For example, if you have one feature, you receive one authorization code and you will generate one keycode. If you purchase four features, you receive four authorization codes, however, you will still generate only one keycode.

To generate a keycode through the Nortel Keycode Retrieval System (KRS), you require:

•Username and password for the KRS (http://www.nortel.com/servsup/krs)

•BCM 4.0 feature authorization code for each feature

•BCM 4.0 system ID

You can apply a keycode file using:

•Telset Administration (see “To enter the keycodes” on page 40)

•Element Manager (see “To enter a keycode” on page 47)

For more information on keycodes, refer to the Keycode Installation Guide.

Regenerating a keycode after system replacement

If you replace your media services card (MSC), you must regenerate your keycode file to reflect the new system identification. Apply the keycode file after you perform your system data restore. For more information, refer to the Keycode Installation Guide.

Next step

After connecting to the BCM system, proceed to “Configuring the BCM system” on page 35.
