Starting Device Manager

Do one of the following, depending upon your operating system environment:

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

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

./JDM

The initial Device Manager window appears.

ATTENTION

On startup, the Device Manager performs a DNS lookup for the machine on which it is running. If the DNS lookup is slow or fails, the initial Device Manager window may take up to 30 seconds to open.
