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).

12 Installing Device Manager software
In a Windows environment, a dm.ini file is created in the JDM install
directory to save those IP addresses visited in JDM. In a UNIX
environment, a ~/.jdm/dm.ini file is created to save those IP addresses
visited in JDM. A JDM uninstallation operation does not remove this file.
If you wish, you can move or copy these files from a previous version
of JDM to a new JDM installation.
JDM installation warnings
The following warnings apply to both Windows and UNIX:
•
If you have other Nortel switches in your network, and are running earlier
versions of JDM software, you must install the newest version of JDM to
access the switches running the latest software.
•
Prior to upgrading JDM, 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.)
Nortel recommends that you do not install the JDM to a directory where
a previous version of Device Manager software already exists.
•
In a Windows environment, a dm.ini file is created in the JDM install
directory to save IP addresses that are visited in JDM. In a UNIX
environment, a ~/.jdm/dm.ini file is created to save those IP addresses
visited in JDM. A JDM uninstallation operation does not remove this file.
If you wish, you can move or copy these files from a previous version of
JDM to a new JDM installation. The contents of the IP addresses visited
file are automatically copied from previous existing JDM versions to
upgraded installed JDM version when the previous version is uninstalled
and the upgraded JDM version is installed in the same directory. The
dm.ini file containing IP addresses visited must be manually copied
when the upgraded JDM file is installed in a separate directory from
the previous version.
•
Ensure that the JDM and the switch software versions match. Matching
versions correctly display dialog boxes and information and enable
accessibility to the software. Please refer to the Ethernet Routing Switch
8600 release notes for correct compatibility.
Installing Device Manager on Windows
This section describes the minimum installation requirements and describes
how to install JDM from the CD or the Web.

Setting the Device Manager properties
Device Manager uses the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
to configure and manage the Optical Ethernet Services Solution (OESS)
switches. You can use the Device Manager Properties dialog box to
configure important communication parameters such as the polling interval,
timeout, and retry count. You can set these parameters at any time before
or after you open a device.
Device Manager keeps a set of default, or global, properties that apply to
all devices, and a set of properties for each device. The default properties
are used when you open a device for the first time. A copy of the properties
are saved for each device that is opened. You can customize the properties
for a particular device as required.
Use this procedure to set the Device Manager default properties.
Procedure steps
Step Action
1
If you do not have a device open, from the Device Manager menu
bar, choose Device > Properties > Current.
OR
If you have a device open, from the Device Manager menu bar,
choose Device > Properties > Devices. Select Default in the

Application launch with ring tone
When checked, the ring tone will sound
every time you launch Device Manager.
This is the default behavior.
Save SNMPv3 Devices to Open Last
When checked, you can open a device
using Device > Open Last by SNMPv3
without reentering the required
SNMPv3 authentication information.
Note, however, that this is not secure.
JDM prompts with a warning message
that indicates a possible security threat
because the devise opens without
having to enter security information.
When this box is unchecked, the saved
SNMPv3 authentication information for
all devices is erased. JDM prompts you
to verify the change.
JDM resets the required parameters
for the devices open using SNMPv3
only when this option is enabled. In
this case, you can select a device
from a list of devices that Device
Manager has accessed through
SNMPv3 without having to enter
the required SNMPv3 user name,

Objects in a Metro ESU 1850 switch device view
To select a single object, click the edge of the object. The object is outlined
in yellow, indicating that it is selected. Subsequent activities in Device
Manager refer to the selected object.
To select multiple objects of the same type (such as ports or modules), use
one of the following actions:
•
For a block of contiguous ports or modules, drag to select the group
of objects.
•
For multiple ports or modules anywhere in the switch chassis, press Ctrl
and click the objects anywhere in the device view.
The general rule for selecting multiple physical objects, such as fans, power
supplies, modules, and ports, is that the selected objects must belong to the
same category or have some kind of parent/child relationship.
Interpreting the status of LEDs and ports
The conventions on the device view are similar to the actual switch
appearance for the Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600, and Metro ESU
1800 and 1850. Module LEDs are in one of three states: on, off, or blinking.
For a full description of what each state means, refer to the documentation
that came with the module.
The ports on the device view are color-coded to provide at-a-glance port
assigned to each color.

Using Device Manager dialog boxes 53
Using Device Manager dialog boxes
Many Device Manager dialog boxes contain fields that allow you to enter
values for parameters, and many of the parameters have predetermined
possible values. For example, a port may be set to be enabled or disabled.
Other parameter values are ranges of user-determined values. For example,
the value for a system contact will be a name you enter in the SysContact
field.
Fields that can be modified are displayed in white.
Use this procedure to change the value in a field.
Procedure steps

Online Help
Online Help in Device Manager is context-sensitive. You use a web browser
to display online Help. The web browser should launch automatically when
you click help. To display online Help correctly, Nortel recommends using
the following web browsers:
•
•
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later
Netscape Navigator 4.7 or later
In a UNIX environment, for Device Manager (or Optivity Switch Manager) to
launch a Netscape browser properly, the shell in which Device Manager was
launched must have a Netscape browser in its path.
In a Solaris environment, Device Manager may not open a Netscape
window when you click a Help button. To work around this issue, first launch
Netscape manually; then the Help system properly opens in the Netscape
browser window.
The Help menu may behave erratically after you view the "About Device
Manager" selection. If the edge of the Help menu extends beyond the
device view window, you may not be able to select Legend using the cursor.
The workaround for this problem is to use the arrow keys to select from
this menu or to widen the device view window so that the Help menu is
displayed in its entirety on top of the device view.
If, for some reason, the web browser does not launch, the Help files for the
Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 are located in the default installation
directories listed in "Help file locations, Metro Ethernet Routing Switch
