BCM50 Administration Guide
Element Manager panels
The BCM50 Element Manager Configuration and Administration trees group the various tasks and
functions required to configure the BCM50 or perform administrative tasks. When either the
Configuration tab or the Administration tab is selected, the associated task tree provides access to
the information required to complete the tasks. For example, all tasks in the Configuration tab are
configuration tasks, organized by workflow. Various types of administrative tasks are presented in
the Administration tab, such as monitoring alarms or performing backups.
Some tasks have multiple tabs within the Information panel. Information on the panels may be
grouped by related information or tasks.
Repetitive information such as line programming, DN programming, and system speed dial is
displayed in table format in the Element Manager. These tables allow you to change the data
display, apply filtering, sort data, or copy information between cells. If there is additional
information or configuration details available for a selected item in the table, an associated details
panel for the selected row appears below the table.
