Startup Profile requirements

To use the Startup Profile template, you need the following:

a computer with a USB port

Microsoft Excel 2000 or newer

the Nortel BCM50 Startup Profile template (Microsoft Excel template)

If you do not have the Startup Profile template on your computer, you can get a copy from the
the Nortel support Web site (www.nortel.com/support) or the Administrator Applications page
on the main unit. For details about getting the Startup Profile template from the main unit, see
the procedure

To download the Startup Profile template

on page 147.

a portable USB storage device compatible with USB 1.1 (formatted for FAT32)

Note: You must format the USB storage device for the FAT32 file system. If
necessary, reformat the USB storage device by plugging it into the USB port of
your computer, right-clicking the USB device icon, and selecting FAT32
reformatting. This destroys any data on the USB.

Note: The Startup Profile works only on a BCM50 system with no keycodes loaded. After
the keycodes are loaded, the Startup Profile does not work. This condition prevents
unintentional overwriting of the parameters of a configured system.

Note: The Startup Profile template uses macros to perform certain functions. You
must set your Excel macro security level to medium or low to enable the macros:

1

From the Tools menu, select Macros.

2

Select Security.

3

Select Medium or Low.

4

Exit from Excel.

5

Open the Startup Profile template (in Excel).

6

Enable macros if you are prompted.
