Using the Startup Profile to configure parameters

The Startup Profile tool enables an experienced administrator to customize a template with common BCM parameters. This template is used to quickly configure one or multiple systems.

You create the Startup Profile using the Startup Profile template (a Microsoft Excel template). You then use a USB storage device to transfer the Startup Profile data to the BCM main unit.

Loading the Startup Profile increases the time for the BCM system to boot depending on the selected parameters. For example, if you apply a keycode using the Startup Profile, the BCM system might reboot, which can add up to 30 minutes to the total time. However, if your selected parameters do not require a reboot, as little as 5 extra minutes are added to the total time for the system to become operational. If you decide to configure these parameters using Element Manager, the overall time required for system reboots and applying the parameters are the same.

When the Startup Profile is successfully applied, the BCM system automatically reboots to complete the system configuration. The Startup Profile is not fully loaded until the system reboots.

Figure 96 shows an overview of using the Startup Profile.
