54 Chapter 3 Auxiliary requirements

If your company wishes to continue using Telnet over the LAN or if you have DECT equipment, the Telnet service can be manually enabled through the Unified Manager, under Services. If you have DECT equipment, Telnet is required to run the DECT programming.

The client SSH application is called PuTTY. A link to download this application to your desktop can be found under the Install Clients button on the first page of the Unified Manager. The application installs on your computer, not on the Business Communications Manager. Therefore, if you want to use a LAN to connect to the Business Communications Manager hardware during maintenance procedures, you must install PuTTY on your computer before beginning any procedures that require you to access the text-based interface.

As well, the connection to the Unified Manager is now through an https// link rather than http//. To log on to the Unified Manager you enter: https//<BCM IP address> on your browser. Any existing bookmarks will automatically convert to https// during the connection process.
