Installing Device Manager software

Java Device Manager (JDM) is an SNMP-based graphical user interface (GUI) tool designed to manage single devices. To use Java Device Manager (also referred to in this manual as Device Manager), you must have network connectivity to a management station running JDM in one of the supported environments.

The Device Manager software is provided on the software CD as a self-extracting executable file. Device Manager is also available from the Nortel web site. This chapter provides instructions for installing the Device Manager software in a Windows or UNIX environment.

The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is bundled with the Device Manager software and does not require a separate installation.

JDM installation notes

The following installation notes apply to both Windows and UNIX:

•If you have other Nortel switches in your network and are running earlier versions of Device Manager software, you must install the newest version of Device Manager to access the switches running the latest software.

•Prior to upgrading Device Manager, either uninstall your previous version of the Device Manager software, or install the new software to a different directory. (You can have multiple versions of Device Manager stored on your PC or UNIX machine, provided that each version is stored in a separate directory).
