Installation and Maintenance Guide
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.

accompanies the software for any system administration that needs to be performed pre- or 
post-upgrade.
