Nortel Networks 400 4.0, BCM200 manual To load the Startup Profile data onto the BCM system

208Chapter 17 Using the Startup Profile to configure parameters

6Enter the remaining information into the Startup Profile editor that you want loaded onto the BCM main unit.

The Startup Profile editor contains explanations of the various parameters. Click the cell where you want to enter information, and the Help text appears.

You can specify which parameters to load onto your system by selecting Apply for the parameters you want to load. If you do not want to load certain parameters, select Ignore.

7When you have entered all the information, click 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.

8Exit from Microsoft Excel.

9Insert the USB storage device into the USB port of the computer.

10Copy the Startup Profile (.sps file) to the root directory of the USB storage device.

11If you want to apply your keycode file using the Startup Profile, copy the keycode file to the root directory of the USB storage device.

The name of the keycode file on the USB storage device must exactly match the filename you entered in the Startup Profile editor.

12Remove the USB storage device from the USB port of the computer. The Startup Profile is now stored on the USB storage device.

To load the Startup Profile data onto the BCM system

1Turn off the power switch at the rear of the main unit.

2Insert the USB storage device into the USB port on the main unit.

3Turn on the power switch at the rear of the main unit.

The BCM system automatically detects the Startup Profile file and loads the information during the bootup sequence. Loading the Startup Profile increases the time for the BCM system to boot depending on the selected parameters. See Table 76 for details about Startup Profile times and LED status.

The Startup Profile is not fully loaded until the system reboots.

Note: The Startup Profile functions only on a BCM system that does not have a keycode file applied. After a keycode file is applied, the Startup Profile does not function. This condition prevents overwriting of the parameters of a configured system.

To re-apply the Startup Profile, remove the applied keycode file by returning the system to factory defaults using the BIT tool.

3Remove the USB storage device from the USB port on the BCM main unit. See Table 76 for the appropriate point in the sequence to remove the USB storage device.
