In brief, the information in this guide explains:

• start-up programming

• keycodes and feature settings

• activating user accounts and changing passwords

• viewing and entering IP network information

• programming telephones

Audience

The BCM50 Telset Administration Guide is directed to network administrators responsible for maintaining BCM50 networks. This guide is also useful for network operations center (NOC) personnel supporting a BCM50 managed services solution. To use this guide, you must:

Administration telset interfaces

You can use Business Element Manager or you can use the Telset interface to administer your BCM50 system. The telset configuration is a tool that is used for system configuration if there is no network connection to your BCM50, or for quick configuration changes, such as changing features in a DN record or updating one of the speed dial lists. Administration telset interfaces are accessible only by a user with an Installer level of telset user privileges. These menus are used at initial startup or to make changes to security-sensitive system settings.

• “Initial setup telset menus” on page 11

• “Using FEATURE 9*8 for initial configuration” on page 12

Initial setup telset menus

The initial telset menus are used during the initial configuration of your system. The user requires Installer (Administrator) level of password to use these menus.

FEATURE **7763453

FEATURE **3425723

FEATURE **7827887

Figure 1 Menus for profiles and dialpad function for startup programming

(**PROFILE) should only be run at the initial set up if the Startup profile did

not properly set the country profile on your system and the Element Manager is not accessible to perform this task.

(**DIALPAD) allows you to change how the system receives Q and Z in

the telset interface.

(**STARTUP) should only be run at the initial set up if the Startup profile did

not set the telephony profile to the correct setting and the Element Manager is not accessible to perform this task. Note that using this interface returns your system to the default state

Using FEATURE 9*8 for initial configuration

When you log in to the FEATURE 9*8 interface, it provides access to the following menus:

• Feature Codes: add a keycode for applications such as mail boxes, Fax suite, and private

networking. See “Entering keycodes and feature settings” on page 14

• User Accounts: change user accounts and passwords. See “Activating user accounts and

changing passwords” on page 16

• IP Address: view or set the IP network addressing. See Viewing or entering IP network

information on page 16

• Modem: enable or disable the soft modem. See “System restart” on page 19

• System Restart: restart your system. See “System restart” on page 19

Logging in to the F9*8 interface

An administration-level telset username and password are required to access this interface. Use the following user ID and password to access the FEATURE 9*8 feature:

User ID SETNNA (738662) Password CONFIG (266344)

For more information about accessing the telset interfaces, and about which telephones can be used to access the interface, refer to “Using the telset configuration interface” on page 21. Note that this interface does not use the keypad directional arrows that are used for the telephony interface, but rather follows the conventions of the CallPilot F983 interface, which uses display prompts to navigate through the menus.

When a user enters an incorrect password, the system provides a display indicating that there is an entry error. If the user tries repeatedly to enter an invalid username or password, the system locks the user account. The user can wait until the lockout timer releases the account, or the account can be released through this telset menu by a user with administration privileges or through the Element Manager by a user with administration privileges. The lockout timer and the lockout release can be configured in the Element Manager.
