BCM 4.0 for BCM1000 Installation and Maintenance Guide Addendum

Chapter 1

About this document

The purpose of this addendum is to provide updates to the BCM1000 Installation and Maintenance

Guide (N0008587 01) for the release of BCM 4.0 software.

For information on upgrading to BCM 4.0 software, refer to the Upgrade Guide for BCM 4.0.

How to use this addendum

To perform installation and maintenance of a BCM1000 system running BCM 4.0 software, use

the BCM1000 Installation and Maintenance Guide (N0008587 01) for BCM 3.7 as the main

document. Then refer to this addendum for updates and changes to the installation and

maintenance information for BCM 4.0 software.

What’s new in BCM 4.0

The primary changes from BCM 3.7 to BCM 4.0 are:

• Operating system: A Linux operating system (OS) replaces Windows NT® Embedded for

BCM 4.0 systems.

• Element Manager: Element Manager replaces Unified Manager as the primary BCM

management tool. Use Element Manager to configure a BCM 4.0 system; Unified Manager

does not function with a BCM 4.0 system. If you need to configure a pre-BCM 4.0 system (for

example, BCM 3.6/3.7), then you must use Unified Manager; Element Manager does not

function with a pre-BCM 4.0 system.

• New IP Phone support: BCM 4.0 supports the following new IP Phones: 1120, 1140, 2007,

2033, WLAN handset 2212, and the IP Phone KEM.

• Administrator account: In a BCM 4.0 system, the default administrator account is nnadmin,

instead of ee_admin, and the password is PlsChgMe!.

• Keycode functionality: You no longer require a keycode for each feature; you now require

only one keycode to enable software features on the BCM 4.0 system. The single keycode is

generated from multiple feature selections using the Nortel keycode retrieval system (KRS).

• Market profiles and software loads: In BCM 4.0, there are only three software loads (instead

of the five for BCM 3.7); T1 CT2 and E1 CALA are removed. If the BCM 3.6/3.7 system was

running a T1 CT2+ load then it is upgraded with a T1 Etiquette load and if it was running an

E1 CALA load, then it is upgraded with an E1 Global load. These changes are automatically

implemented as part of the upgrade process; no user intervention is required.

• Telset administration: BCM 4.0 supports Telset administration (see BCM 4.0 Telset

Administration Guide).

• USB support: BCM 4.0 adds support for USB ports on the BCM200/400 systems (not

supported on BCM1000). This support includes file loading and UPS connection through the

USB port.
