Chapter 5 Business Communications Manager System Startup 137
Installation and Maintenance Guide
If you can use the default IP address, you can connect the Business Communications Manager
server to the LAN. This allows you to configure to the Business Communications Manager system
from your PC through the Unified Manager.
Connecting when there is an IP address conflict
If you cannot use the default IP address, you must change the IP address of the Business
Communications Manager system through one of these connections:
• a terminal and a null modem cable. Refer to “Use of a null modem serial cable” on page 137.
• a computer and an Ethernet crossover cable. Refer to “Ethernet crossover cable usage” on
page 140.
After you set the initial parameters, you can connect to the Unified Manager through the network
to complete the system setup using the Quick Start Wizard.
If you do not have a network connection, you can also access a Quick Start Wizard through a serial
link.
For detailed information about configuring the Business Communications Manager system, refer
to the Business Communications Manager 3.0, Programming Operations Guide
Use of a null modem serial cable
You must use a null modem cable connection to the Business Communications Manager base
function tray if the default IP address is not compatible with your LAN or WAN network.
Required equipment:
• null modem cable
• VT100-compatible terminal or a computer that has a terminal program such as Hyperterminal
Warning: Your terminal must be VT100-compatible and must support the VT100
National Character set. If the terminal does not support the National Character set, the text
displays incorrectly.
