Security changes
Business Communications Manager 3.5 introduced a number of security enhancements
with the addition of a security layer to the programing. One change that particularly
affects maintenance procedures is the shift from the Telnet interface to using a secure
interface (SSH-based) to access the text-based Unified Manager menus from a computer
connecting to the Business Communications Manager over a LAN, for instance when you
want to initialize a new hard disk. Connecting to the BCM1000 through a serial or
crossover cable configuration is not affected by this change.

Note:
The ideal display setting for a monitor using Unified Manager is 1280 x 1024.
Unified Manager is a web-based application that runs off the BCM1000 computer.
Therefore, you take up minimal space on your computer and you can run multiple
applications on your computer. We recommend that you use Windows NT or 2000 to
ensure optimal performance with the Unified Manager.
