Configuring basic parameters

To customize a Startup Profile for your system

Note: The Startup Profile template uses macros to perform certain functions. You must set your Excel macro security level to medium or low to enable the macros:

•From the Tools menu, select Macros, then select Security..., and select Medium or Low.

•Exit from Excel.

•Open the Startup Profile template (in Excel).

•Enable macros if prompted.

Note: You cannot copy and paste data between cells in the Startup Profile. If you attempt this, the data validation within the spreadsheet becomes corrupt. If corruption occurs, download another copy of the Startup Profile template from the BCM main unit.

1On a computer that has a USB port and Microsoft Excel, open the Startup Profile template (Microsoft Excel template).

If you do not have a copy of the Startup Profile template, see “To download the Startup Profile template” on page 206.

2Refer to the Usage Instructions tab for instructions about using the Startup Profile template.

3Click the StartupProfileTemplate tab to begin entering information in the Startup Profile template.

4Enter your BCM system ID in the System ID field in the Startup Profile template.

The system ID is on the box of the main unit and on the main unit itself. If you enter the wrong system ID, the Startup Profile will not work with your system.

5Click the large button at the top of the Startup Profile template to save a version of the Startup Profile (.sps file) and a version of the Startup Profile editor (Excel spreadsheet) on your computer.

The filenames for the Startup Profile editor and the Startup Profile consist of the system ID followed by the appropriate extension.

Note: Never edit the Startup Profile (.sps file) directly; always use the Startup

Profile editor to make changes.
