Preface
This guide describes how to install, initialize and maintain the Business Communications
Manager 1000 (BCM1000) hardware.
This issue of the document includes the information in the addendum released with BCM 3.6
software, and includes the additional functionality provided with the BCM 3.6.1 software
maintenance release. Initial software release versions will be noted for hardware function that is
dependant on a software release. For instance, BCM 3.0 introduced the concept of double density
on the first five DS30 buses. This section will note this software release, with the implied
understanding that all successive releases contain this function, unless otherwise noted.
Network note: The software version you are running has important implications in terms of
private networking between Business Communications Managers and other types of systems.
Refer to the Private networking sections of the Programming Operations Guide and the IP
trunking and interoperability sections of the IP Telephony Configuration Guide for information
about compatibility between software releases within the network.
Upgrade notes:
When you upgrade the software on the BCM1000, ensure that you read the upgrade guide that
accompanies the software for any system administration that needs to be performed pre- or
post-upgrade.
Warning: Ensure that you make a complete backup of your data before attempting to
upgrade your system. Upgrade instructions are delivered with the upgrade firmware.
