Chapter 1 Getting started 9

No longer supported by BCM 4.0 software

The following items are not supported by BCM 4.0 software:

•Companion, European Matra DECT, and Symbol: Keycodes are unavailable for BCM 4.0 and these telephones will no longer function.

•PPTP functionality: Point-to-point tunneling protocol (PPTP) for VPN access is no longer supported. BCM 4.0 provides support for IPSec as the preferred VPN solution.

•Voice Applications: CallPilot Mailbox Manager and Operator Manager, previously available through the Unified Messaging interface, are no longer available through a graphical user interface. This functionality can be accessed through Telset administration (see BCM 4.0 Telset Administration Guide).

•BCM 3.6/3.7 wizards: The wizards available in BCM 3.6/3.7 are replaced with similar functionality in BCM 4.0:

—The Quick Start wizard is replaced by the Startup Profile in BCM 4.0.

—The Add New Users wizard functionality is accomplished using Element Manager.

—The Edit DN Record Template functionality is accomplished using Element Manager.

—The DN Renumber functionality is accomplished using Element Manager.

—The Network Update functionality is accomplished using Element Manager.

—DECT configuration and DECT mobile wizards are no longer available for Matra DECT since Matra DECT is not supported in BCM 4.0 (Kirk DECT is supported).

•COPS protocol: The ability to configure quality of service queue policies using the COPS protocol is no longer supported. The synoptics MIBs supported on BCM 3.6/3.7 for this purpose have also been removed.

•Partial double density: Partial double density (PDD) was used to support Companion telephones (through buses 6 and 7). Since Companion is no longer supported, PDD is not required and all buses are full double density (FDD).
