Install the cards
Refer to Chapter 10, “Replace Data Cards and Processing Hardware,” on page 217 for the removal
and installation process for these cards.
Initialize the System
After starting the Business Communications Manager system, you are ready to set the initial
configuration parameters.
The initial configuration defines your Business Communications Manager to the network. It also
gives the system a unique identity and initial parameters. From that point, you can continue with
the specific configurations for your system, which are described in Business Communications
Manager 3.0 Programming Operations Guide, and the other user guides for each optional
application you choose to add to your system.
Data parameter requirements
Obtain the following parameter values from an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or corporate
network administrator.
• initial IP address and netmask for each network interface
• primary (and optional secondary) DNS servers
• default next-hop router
• fractional T1 channel numbers (if you are using fractional TI)
• system name
• WAN link protocol
• frame relay DLCI / CIR (if applicable)
• V.90 modem settings (North America only)
Default IP settings
All Business Communications Manager systems are shipped with this default address:
• IP: 10.10.10.1
• Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Warning: Before using this address on your network, check with your system
administrator. If this address conflicts with the LAN settings, you can cause network
damage if you connect the network without changing the IP address.
