BCMS Vu R2 Software
•Takes real-time data from the DEFINITY system and displays it in
textual and graphical form on the monitor of a PC
•Allows the textual form of this real-time data to be printed
•Allows this real-time data to be displayed on external wallboards
•Allows posting of messages on external wa llboards
•Supports several types of wallboards

Introduction
Differences Between R1 and R2 of BCMS Vu1
Release 2 of BCMS Vu is the response by Lucent Technologies to requests
from users for more features than exist on Release 1.
The most obvious difference between Release 1 and Release 2 is the
separation of the Server application from the Client application. The Server
application is installed on one PC, which is connected to a DEFINITY
system. The Server obtains data from the DEFINITY system. Client
applications are installed on the same PC as the Server or on other PCs,
which connect to the server over a LAN, instead of connecting directly to the
DEFINITY system. Thus only one physical port is needed for several clients
to access data from the same DEFINITY system.
With Release 2, users can now
•Access real-time data without each BCMS Vu program having a direct
connection to a system management port on the DEFINITY system.
•Create real-time pie chart graphs and time-trace graphs.
•Print real-time text reports.
Chapter 1
•Schedule the printing of historical reports.
•Send displays to wallboards connected to other PCs in the network.
Wallboards need to be registered with but not physically connected to
the Server PC.
•Send on e report to several wallboards or send different reports to
wallboards daisy-chained together.
•Alternate reports and a broadc ast message to the same wallboard or
wallboards.
•Define four levels of alerts and thresholds in reports.
•Manage the storage of interval and daily data separately.
•In addition to the above, BCMS V u R2 is now licensed for o ne, five or ten
Clients.
•In BCMS Vu R1, threshold s applied across all splits/skills or VDNs.
Now you can define thresholds for each split/sk ill or VDN.
•The 486 processor is no longer supported.

Introduction
Upgrading from BCMS Vu R1 to BCMS Vu R21
Upgrading from R1 on Window s NT 4.0 to R2
Server
We recommend that when you upgrade from BCMSVu R1 on Windows NT
4.0 to BCMSVu R2 Server, you do not remove BCMSVu R1, because you
thereby preserves historical data, saved reports, and certain configuration
parameters. We also recommend that you install the R2 Server software on
the R1 PC where the historical database is located, although this is not
required.
Note
When you upgrade from R1 to an R2 Server,
•The R2 Server PC must be a Pentium.
•The R2 Server PC must have at least 64 MB of RAM.
•Historical data is copied to the R2 Server under the
default Server name. For example, if you are installing
the Server on the C: drive, historical data is copied to
C:\Program Files\Lucent\BCMS Vu\Server\BCMSVu
Server.
•Configuration information BCMS data, Server connection, and configuration information is unchanged.
•Saved reports remain where they were before the
upgrade. R2 Client software can open these reports.
•Wallboard configuration is not saved. You must readminister it.

Page 30
Introduction
Upgrading from R1 on Windows 95 to R2 Server1
When you upgrade from R1 to an R2 Server, Windows NT 4.0 must be the
operating system on the PC before you instal l R2. If R1 was installed on
Windows 95, you must install NT 4.0 on the PC before you install R2. Refer to
“What you need on your PC” in this chapter.
To upgrade from R1 on Windows 95 to R2 Server,
1. Find the file entitled “histdb.mdb”; the default location is C:\Program
Files\Lucent\BCMSVu\Server\BCMSVu Server\. Copy it to a location
somewhere other than the PC on which BCMSVu R1 is installed.
2. Search thr ough t he Windows 95 configuration wizard and write down all
the information displayed there, for example, the login and password,
phone number, and download interval and start time. Save this

Windows NT 4.0 on the PC.
3. Install Windows NT 4.0 on the PC.
During the NT 4.0 installation, you will be asked if you want to replace
the existing Windows 95 disk partition with an NT-compatible disk
partition. We recommend that you choose to use an NT-compatible
partition for best Windows NT operation.
Replacing the existing disk partition will delete ALL existing

files and data on the disk.
4. After you have installed Windows NT 4.0 on the PC, install BCMSVu R2
Server on the PC. Refer to "Installation Checklist" in this ch apter and
"Installing BCMS Vu Server Software" in chapter 4.
5. Go through the Windows NT 4.0 configuration wizard and configure it
using the information you wrote down in step 2.
6. If, when you configure BCMSVu Server, you choose to store the database
in the default location, copy the file “histdb.mdb” to C:\Program

Changing R2 Server from Windows 95 to Windows
NT 4.0
Lucent Technologies does no t sup p ort the use of BCMSVu R2 Server on
Windows 95. If you are presently running BCMSVu R2 on Windows 95, you
must change the operating system to Windows NT 4.0 in order to receive
continued BCMSVu service and support.
To change R2 Server from Windows 95 to Windows NT 4.0, perform the steps
in "Upgrading from R1 on Windows 95 to R2 Server" above.
Upgrading from R1 to R2 Client1
When you upgrade from an R1 to an R2 Client,
•The Client PC must be a Pentium; a 486 is not sufficient.
•The Client PC must have at least 32 MB of RAM.
•Historical data
The Client can display historical data.*
•Saved reports remain where they were before the upgrade. The R2
Client can display them. Wallboard configuration is not saved. The first
time you try to open a saved report after upgrading to BCMS Vu R2
Client, you are asked if you want to convert the old R1 report to an R2
report. Choose “Yes.”
remains undisturbed where it was before the upgrade.

Chapter 1
•After you install BCMS Vu R2 so ft w are over BCMS Vu R1 software, you
should remove the BCMS Vu R1 start icon from the Windows start
menu. Instructions for this are at the end of the software installation
procedures in Chapter 4.
*Ideally, historical data was on only one of the R1 PCs, and that is the PC on which R2 Server
software is being installed. If the database is on a PC that is to become a Client, you can
either a) move the database to the Server PC, or b) give the Server PC the path to the client
PC’s folder containing the database. The former is perferred, because otherwise the Server
PC must have access to the Client PC’s database in order to perfor m downloads.

Introduction
Software Required for Maintenance Contracts 1
In addition to installing BMCS Vu software, you need to install
pcANYWHERE software on the same PC as the Server software. The
pcANYWHERE software enables Lucent Technologies Services to log into
your PC remotely and perform troubleshooting procedures.
Use the installation procedures in the pcANYWHERE documentation to
install your Server PC as a host computer.
Lucent Techno logies recommends that pcANYWHERE software be opened
only when working with Lucent T echnologies Services personnel, to prevent
unauthorized remote access to the BCMS Vu Server PC. Remote access is
possible only when pcANYWHERE software is open and set up as a host PC.
Caution
Because pcANYWHERE software allows a remote PC to access the
BCMS Vu Server PC, it is essential that you take the following
precautions:
•While installing pcANYWHERE software, do not select the
Autoload option. The Autoload op tion starts pcANYWHERE
each time the computer is turned on.
•Do not start pcANYWHERE software unless you are asked to do
so by Lucent Technologies Services, and be sure to close it
immediately afterwards.
•If you must leave pcANYWHERE software o pen at al l time s for
your own purposes, use a password that is not rel at ed in any
way to the passwords you use to access the DEFINITY
system or BCMS. Include characters in the password that are
not alphabetic (use numbers, special characters). Do not make
this password widely known. Refer to the pcANYWHERE
user’s guide for instructions on establishin g passwords.

BCMS Agent Login IDs (Non-EAS)2
In a traditional ACD (non-EAS) environment, BCMS Agent Logins are
USED MOSTL Y when the customer has more than one agent using the same
telephone set and wants to track each agent’s BCMS information separately.
If the customer does not have this need, we recommend that this optional
feature be set to no. The VuStats feature (turned to yes on customer options)
can still be used, even though this field is set to no; only the recommended

Preliminary Considerations2
Note
❐Be sure the PC on which Client software will be installed is connected to
the same network as the Server PC. It is properly connected if you can
locate the Server PC in Network Neighborhood from every Client PC, and
can locate every Client PC in Network Neighborhood from every Server
PC.
❐You must have one of the following name resolution methods:
•A local Hosts file on the Server and Client PCs
•DNS
•WINS.
❐The following must be install ed:
❐TCP/IP protocol
❐(Windows 95) A service entitled “Client for Microsoft Networks.”
❐Unless you are using WINS, you must have a “hosts” file containing the
IP addresses of each Client PC and the Server PC, with their fully
qualified domain names.
Unless otherwise noted, every item refers to PCs operating
with either Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0.
Chapter 2
❐If you are not using WINS, select the following s et tings:
❐(Windows 95) LM Announce or (Windows NT 4.0) Enable LMHosts
Lookup
❐(Windows NT 4.0) Enable DNS for Windows Resolution.
Configuring a Network 2-17
Page 56
Administering the DEFINITY System and Configuring the Network
Configuring2
❐DNS is not required. However, if you decide to enable DNS, configure it
correctly:
❐The name in the “Host” field on the Server PC must be the same
as the name of the Server. The name in the “Host” field on the
Client PCs must be the same as the name of the Client.
❐The entry in the “Domain” field should be the same throughout
the network. Typically, it is a term that identifies your company
or organization. If PCs are on different domains, the domains
must have “trustee relationships.”
❐Be sure that the numbers in the box entitled “DNS Server Search
Order” are numbers for DNS Servers.
If the domain settings are incorrect, proble ms may occur. You
may be able to connect to the Server, but you may be quickly
disconnected.
❐Configure TCP/IP
❐(Windows NT 4.0) Select the “IP Address” tab and select the radio
button next to “Specify an IP address.” Ask your network
administrator which IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway
to use.
❐(Windows 95) Select the “IP Address” tab and select the radio
button next to “Specify an IP address.” Ask your network
administrator which IP address and subnet mask to use.
❐The Server PC must have a static IP address .
❐Be sure that TCP/IP protocol is installed on the network. To verify
this, from the Server PC,
(Windows NT 4.0): Open Start/Programs/Command Prompt
and type ipconfig /all (note the space after ipconfig).
(Windows 95): Open Start/Run and type winipcfg
If TCP/IP is installed, a window appears describing the
configuration. If TCP/IP is not installed, you receive an error
message. If you receive an error message, go into

Start/Settings/Control Panel/N etwork and add TCP/IP Protocol.
(You may need the Windows installation disk.)
❐In the list of installed network components, highlight “Network
In a multi-protocol environment, if TCP/IP is not the
primary protocol in Windows NT 4.0 or is not the default
protocol in Win d ow s 95, then a NetBIOS connection to th e
VUSHARE can happen through another protocol. Therefore,
be sure that TCP/IP is the primary protocol.
❐Configure Client for Microsoft Networks.
❐Under “Logon Valid ation” leave the box unchecked and the
“Windows NT domain” field blank, unless this PC is part of
Windows NT domain.
❐Do nothing to “Network logon options.”
❐(Windows 95) On the “Identification” tab
❐Y ou must supply the PC name. The BCMS V u Server PC must be
accessible under that name to the BCMS Vu Client. If you are
using DNS, this name must be the same as the DNS Host name.
❐To avoid possible problems, we suggest that the workgroup be
the same for all BCMS Vu PCs.

❐“Computer Description” is optional.
❐(Windows 95) Select Share-level access control.
________________________________________________________________
*These are typical settings
**On a Novell Network you may set this to Novell Interware Client.
❐Install Hosts files:
Unless you are using WINS for name resolution, you must create and
install “hosts” files a s f ollows:
Create a text file named “hosts” containing IP address and
computer name inf orm ati on for eve ry BC MS Vu Server, Client, and
Wallboard PC. Use one line for each PC.

Installing the Data Module3
A digital line is required to connect either the 7400B/7400B Plus (4-wire
digital port only) or 8400B Plus (2-wire digital port only) data module to the
DEFINITY system.
Refer to “Administering” on page 2-4 for data module translations.
When you first apply power to the 7400B/7400B Plus data module, the
progress of the self-test is indicated by the sequential, left-to-right lighting of
the ten front panel LEDs. If the self test finds no problems, the LEDs labeled
“Power/Test” and “TR” remain on and all others go out. The operation of
the LEDs described here assumes that the factory default options are still in
effect.
When you first apply power to the 8400B, the green and red LED remain on
while the 8400B performs a self-test. When the test is complete, the green
LED goes off. If the self-test passes, the re d LED remains on. If the self-test
fails, the red LED flashes three times, and then remains on. This indicates a
defective data module.
