Page 110, Shutting down the system

The procedure about how to shut down the system should be replaced with the following section.

Performing a system shutdown

If there is a need to perform maintenance, the system may already be powered down. If this is the case, proceed to “To shutdown the system hardware” on page 16.

If the system is still operating, perform the following procedures:

•“To shut down the system software” on page 15

•“To shutdown the system hardware” on page 16

To shut down the system software

1Check for a recent backup of the BCM system programming.

2If there is no recent backup, use Element Manager to back up the system data. For information about backing up the system data, refer to the BCM 4.0 Administration Guide.

3In Element Manager, from the Administration tab, click the Utilities folder to expand it.

4From the Utilities folder, select Reset.

5Click Shutdown System to prepare the system for power disconnect.

This action will stop all services. All Element Manager sessions will be disconnected from the system. The BCM system can be restored to service only by powering the BCM system off and back on again.

6Click Ok.

The progress update dialog box appears and the BCM system begins the shutdown process.

When the shutdown process is complete, the final warning dialog box appears, and the LEDs enter the flashing state.

7Click Ok to disconnect Element Manager.

When the shutdown Element Manager is disconnected, the system gives an audible beep. The LEDs remain in the flashing state until the hardware is shutdown (see “To shutdown the system hardware” on page 16).

If the system hardware is not shutdown within about 15 minutes, it automatically boots up again.

One of the standout features of the BCM 1000 is its integrated voice and data capabilities. The system allows users to manage voice calls via the traditional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) as well as Voice over IP (VoIP). This versatility enables organizations to streamline their communication channels and facilitates remote work environments.

In terms of scalability, the BCM 1000 is a flexible option. It can accommodate up to 200 users while supporting various configurations to adapt as a business grows. This feature is particularly appealing for organizations that anticipate expansion, as they can derive maximum utility from their initial investment.

The BCM 1000 also integrates seamlessly with various third-party applications, enhancing its functionality. Businesses can connect customer relationship management systems (CRM) and other software to streamline operations further. Moreover, the system features advanced telephony applications such as voicemail, auto attendant, and unified messaging, which help streamline communication processes.

Another significant aspect of the BCM 1000 is its reliability. Built on Nortel’s long-standing reputation for quality telecommunications equipment, the BCM 1000 boasts redundancy and failover capabilities. This means that even in the event of a hardware failure, service continuity is maintained, ensuring that communication lines remain open.

Security is another critical feature of the BCM 1000. The system incorporates encryption protocols and supports secure access, safeguarding sensitive business communications from potential threats.

In conclusion, Nortel Networks BCM 1000 is a comprehensive communication platform that encapsulates essential features, including scalability, versatility, and reliability. By integrating voice and data capabilities within a single system, it effectively supports businesses striving for effective communication and operational efficiency. As organizations continue to evolve with technology, the BCM 1000 stands out as a proven solution that meets contemporary business communication needs.
