For information on setting the ESU 1800 or 1850 IP address, see Nortel Metro Ethernet Services Unit 1800 and 1850 Commissioning (NN46212-303).

Starting Device Manager using Windows and UNIX

In the Windows environment, from the Windows Start menu, choose Programs > Nortel > Java Device Manager > DM.

In a UNIX environment, verify that the Device Manager installation directory is in your search path, then type:
