Nortel Networks manual To load the Startup Profile data onto the BCM50 system

146 Chapter 15 Using the Startup Profile to configure parameters

The filename for the Startup Profile editor and the Startup Profile consists 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.

4Enter the remaining information into the Startup Profile editor that you want loaded onto the BCM50.

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 choose 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.

5When you have entered all the information, press 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.

6Exit from Microsoft Excel.

7Insert the USB storage device into the USB port of the computer.

8Copy the Startup Profile (.sps file) to the root directory of the USB storage device.

9If you want to load your keycodes using the Startup Profile, copy the keycodes file to the root directory of the USB storage device.

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

10Remove the USB storage device from the USB port on the computer.

The Startup Profile is now stored on the USB storage device.

To load the Startup Profile data onto the BCM50 system

1Disconnect the power supply from the main unit.

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

If the BCM50 system has a UPS, insert the USB storage device into the Linux-compatible USB hub.

3Connect the power supply to the BCM50 system.

The BCM50 automatically detects the Startup Profile file and loads the information during the bootup sequence. Loading the Startup Profile adds approximately 5 minutes to the time for the BCM50 to bootup.

If an error is generated, the status LED flashes red. View the log file (written to the USB storage device) for a description of the Startup Profile errors. If there are no errors, the power and status LEDs are solid green.
