Using the Startup Profile to configure parameters
An experienced administrator uses the Startup Profile tool to customize a template with common
BCM50 parameters. The administrator uses this template to configure a single system or multiple
systems.
You create the Startup Profile using the Startup Profile template (a Microsoft Excel template). You
then use a USB storage device to transfer the Startup Profile data to the BCM50 main unit.
Loading the Startup Profile adds approximately 5 minutes to the time for the BCM50 system to
boot. After you successfully apply the Startup Profile, the BCM50 system automatically reboots to
complete the BCM50 system configuration. After the BCM50 system reboots, the Startup Profile
is fully loaded.
The figure Overview of using the Startup Profile on page 145 shows an overview of using the
Startup Profile.
