Finding the configuration menus

To carry out this procedure, the BCM1000 must be correctly powered up, as described in Chapter 9, “Starting the system,” on page 115.

1Attach the null modem cable to the serial port on the BCM1000.

Note: The location of the transmit (TX) and receive (RX) pins on your terminal can vary. Refer to your terminal or computer documentation to confirm pin locations.

2Attach the other end of the cable to the serial port on the terminal or computer.

3Ensure that the BCM1000 and your terminal or computer are turned on.

4If you are using a computer, start your VT100 terminal program.

5Press <ENTER>.

6When prompted for a User ID, type: ee_admin <ENTER>.

7When prompted for a Domain, press <ENTER>.

8When prompted for a Password, type: eedge <ENTER> The Main Menu screen appears. Refer to Figure 50.

Note: If the Initialization Menu screen appears instead of the Main Menu screen shown below, your BCM1000 system is not initialized correctly. Systems normally are initialized at the factory, so this will seldom occur. If you see this on system startup, consult with your account representative for correct procedure before attempting to initialize your system. Initializing the system sets such parameters as the hardware profile, which must match your actual installed hardware configuration.

When you replace a hard drive in a single-disk system, you also will use the initialization menu to initialize the hard disk to your system. Refer to “Initializing the hard disk (single-disk system, BCM 2.5/2.5.1)” on page 179.
