How do I recover a lost password for the BCM50?

There is a Nortel support default user which cannot be deleted or modified. This account is set up to allow troubleshooting technicians to access areas of the system that are not available to other users. You can change the default challenge key, but be sure to retain a record of the change so that support technicians can access your system.

Recovering a lost password: 

1. Select Configuration > Administrator Access > Security Policies, and select the Entry Policy tab.
2. With the Challenge Key available, contact LOGIX Technical Support and request help to recover the lost password.

System Status LEDs

How to Interpret the Two System Status LEDs  on a BCM50

The two system status LEDs on the BCM50 main units (BCM50, BCM50a, BCM50e, BCM50b, BCM50ba, and BCM50be) show the current state of the BCM50 system.

You can view the system status LEDs on the faceplate and on the top of the main unit. See the figure "Location of System Status LEDs on a Main Unit".  The bottom LED is the power LED, and the top LED is the status LED. Under normal operating conditions, both LEDs are solid green.

The table "System status LEDs states and descriptions" describes the meaning of the system status LEDs after the system boots up and is in service.

During BCM50 system startup or reboot, the system status LEDs move through a sequence of state changes. If either the power LED or status LED is yellow, the system is initializing and is not ready for service. The table "System Status LEDs During Startup or Reboot" shows the key states indicating service availability.
