Does anyone know how to flash a Mitel Bay Control card III? I have 3 of these cards that are not working. On system reset all 3 lights just stay on steady. I was told that reflashing the card might help.

If they were just installed in the bays, they need to be flashed with the same rev level as the MCC.
You download the updates @ Mitel's website, IF you are a currently registered Mitel tech. If not, possibly someone who is will contact you from here. I'm no longer registered, so.... frown

If the status of the 3 lights across the middle of the card never 'flicker' or go out, chances are you won't be able to re-flash.

You need to install them in a system that has a program card that has the BCCIII load on it. Then it will automatically download the program off of that card after the system loads, takes about 20 minutes. When systems are upgraded without a BCCIII then that program does not get loaded on the flash memory so your card must not have it.

The cards will download their own software, if they are operating properly. If the status of the 3 lights does not change at all, the cards are probably bad. Those of us in the refurb business politely refer to those cards as
caa-caa!! They're known for their 'issues'!!!

I don't care for the BCC III. When I get a bad one I replace it with a BCC II and a PIMCCC card with the corresponding module.

If you dont have a PRI in that Bay you probably don't a BCC III. The BCC II is much more reliable and very cheap on the secondary market.

FYI.....The BCCIII is only needed if it's supporting a DSP, a T1/E1 module, or a CIM/FIM. The PRI has nothing to do with the BCCIII.

BRI card does require a BCCIII also.

From a mitel doc that I found on our network:


1. OVERVIEW
This TSB details the methods used to load the Bay Control Card III (BCCIII) with operating files to recover the unit from a failed download. As long as the version loaded on the BCCIII is the same as that running in the host system, the associated bay will startup without delay. If the load is not the same, the BCCIII will then upgrade itself from the PBX flash card if the bccIII.fix file is present.

2. DESCRIPTION
To complete this procedure, you must know how to assign a static IP address to your laptop, have a NIC, and have a crossover ethernet cable. You will also need WinZip to extract the files from the BCCIII.zip archive. To begin the process of loading the required files to the BCC card, you’ll need an SX-200EL bay with bay maintenance access. This is done in one of two ways, depending on how the card is installed.

If the BCCIII is in the control bay (bay one), then there is only one choice – install a maintenance module onto the lower front position of the BCCIII. (Part Number: 9180-510-009-NA) Connect a PC to it via the special rs-232 cable. (The same cable that is used for TAPI integration) Have a terminal setup using VT-100 emulation and 38,400 8-n-1.

If the BCCIII is in a peripheral cabinet there are two ways to access the debug interface. When no CIM or FIM module is installed on the BCCIII, meaning you are using a carrier card in slot 12 of the peripheral node, a maintenance module would be required the same way as with the control bay. If a CIM or FIM is present on the BCCIII card, bay maintenance access is done via the printer port on the back of the peripheral cabinet.
Once connected, power up the card. The following “VxWorks System Boot” text will appear in the PC terminal display . Hit any key when prompted. Enter all commands in lowercase lettering unless otherwise directed. You will then get the [VxWorks Boot]: prompt.

Press any key to stop auto-boot...  -hit a key here – quickly or reset again!

Ethernet Access:

At the VxWorks prompt, type the letter ‘c’

[VxWorks Boot]: c -Enter ‘C’ to change the boot parameters

'.' = clear field; '-' = go to previous field; ^D = quit  -note useful commands

(Note: Once you have entered the change ‘c’ command, enter the new value in the field you are in, or enter `.` to clear the field . Hit enter to step to the next field – you may change one field then jump back to the [VxWorks Boot]: prompt by entering ^D (ctrl D) By pressing enter over and over you will step through all change parameters and jump back to the [VxWorks Boot]: prompt.)
Following are all the fields presented:
boot device : flash0 -here we can enter ‘flash’ to boot or ‘qu’ for ethernet access
processor number : 0
host name :
file name : vxworks
inet on ethernet (e) : 134.199.2.1:ffffff00 -here we set the IP address for ethernet access
inet on backplane (b):
host inet (h) :
gateway inet (g) :
user (u) :
ftp password (pw) (blank = use rsh):
flags (f) : 0x0
target name (tn) : bcc4f52
startup script (s) :
other (o) : flash,c:/,xqt,sx2c-bri.cmd

For boot device, type ‘qu’ and press return. (You cannot backspace here. If you make a mistake, simply hit enter all the way through the options, and start again by typing ‘c’ at the VxWorks prompt)
Press return repeatedly until the inet on ethernet is presented. Here, enter an IP address. Do not use leading zero’s if your addresses are 2 digits. Assign a static IP address with the same subnet to your laptop. Follow the ip address with a colon, then ffffff00. Hit enter repeatedly until you reach the VxWorks prompt.

[VxWorks Boot]: R -Enter a Capital ‘R’ to have the card format and listen for ftp commands
The flash will be formatted, and you will return to the VxWorks prompt, and the card is now ready to have the files loaded to the flash.

The file received from Product Support is called bccIII.zip. Open the file with WinZip, and extract these files into a directory that contains ONLY these 9 files, and note the pathname of where they are stored on your laptop so you can navigate there from DOS. The file names are:
SSL.OUT, SL_BCC.O, SX2C-BRI.CMD, BRI200NA.O, BCC3FPGA.BIN, SX200ID2.O, BCC3.O, VXWORKS, and BCC_DSP.LDR.

Set the IP address on your laptop to an address compatible with the address you assigned to the bccIII earlier.
(In this example, I used 134.199.2.30) Connect a crossover ethernet cable to your NIC, and to the ethernet port on the bccIII. The Ethernet port is the middle female connector directly beneath the 3 LEDs.
Open a command prompt on your laptop, and use the ‘cd’ command to navigate to the directory that contains the 9 bccIII files. Then type ‘ftp 134.199.2.1’ (substitute the IP address you assigned to the BCCIII). Press enter for both username and password. It will return with a prompt telling you you’ve logged in successfully. If you cannot connect, use the ‘ping’ command to verify you are talking to the bccIII. If you cannot ping, check that your ip addresses are on the same subnet, try another cable, verify you typed commands in the correct case, and make sure there are no leading zero’s in your IP addresses.

Eight of the files are transferred in binary mode, and one in ASCII mode. At the ftp prompt, type the following:
ftp> hash <return> (This will put a progress indicator of # signs across the screen)
ftp> prompt <return> (This will ask you to confirm each file being loaded onto the card.)
ftp> ascii <return> (Puts transfer in ASCII mode)
ftp> mput *.ldr <return> You will then be asked if bcc_dsp.ldr is the correct file. Press ‘y’.

ftp> bin <return> (This will put the transfer into binary mode.)
ftp> mput *.* <return> (Warning: Pay attention to the file names as the system asks you to confirm. When you see the filename bcc_dsp.ldr, be certain to say no) Say no to any file that does not match the list above, including the original bccIII.zip file.
When finished ftp>bye gets you out of FTP and then exit out of DOS.
Return to your terminal access. Type ‘c’ and change the boot device field to ‘flash’. Press enter the rest of the way through the options. At the VxWorks prompt, type ‘@’ and press enter. The card will reboot, and if the files you sent to the card are of the same revision the main control is running, it will be up in a couple of minutes. If the files you sent were different, and the main control flash card has the bccIII.fix file loaded, the bccIII will upgrade itself to the new load. Be aware this process takes 15 minutes after the main boots, and it is imperative that the bay not lose power, or connection to the main during this time, or you will have to run this procedure again.

3. CONCLUSION
If you keep your terminal connected, you can watch the boot sequence to verify the card is working normally. If the card cannot boot, you will see the error message here. However, at this point, if the card doesn’t boot, you will need a replacement card.
