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.
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.

Starting Device Manager This chapter describes the basic procedures for starting the Device Manager.
Starting Device Manager ATTENTION On startup, Device Manager performs a DNS lookup for the machine on which it is running. If the DNS lookup is slow or fails, a timeout message appears. Abbreviated Device Manager window Replicating editable fields in Device Manager Use this procedure to replicate all editable table cells. Procedure steps Step Action 1 Click the cell. The cell is highlighted. (Note: A double-click makes the cell editor available.
Setting the Device Manager properties 31 —End— 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.
Starting Device Manager Default Properties 2 Select the properties you want to change and set their values. For information about the property fields, see "Variable definitions" (page 32). 3 Click Ok. —End— Variable definitions Variable Value Status Interval Interval at which statistics and status information are gathered (default is 20 seconds). Hotswap Detect every The number of intervals at which Device Manager will check for module hot swaps.
Setting the Device Manager properties Timeout Length of each retry of each polling waiting period. When accessing the device through a slow link, you may want to increase the timeout interval and then change the Retransmission Strategy to superlinear. Trace If selected, you can perform trace routes. Listen for Traps If selected, Device Manager will listen for a trap. When you operate Device Manager from a UNIX platform, you must be logged in as root in order to receive traps.
Starting Device Manager 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.
Setting the Device Manager properties 35 OR If you do not have a device open, from the Device Manager menu bar, choose Device > Properties > Devices. Select the device IP address in the Properties Device List box, and then click Edit. The properties dialog box for the selected device opens (see the following figure). Device Properties 2 Select the properties you want to change and set their values.
Starting Device Manager Timeout Length of each retry of each polling waiting period. When accessing the device through a slow link, you may want to increase the timeout interval and then change the Retransmission Strategy to superlinear. Trace If selected, you can perform trace routes. Listen for Traps If selected, Device Manager will listen for a trap. When you operate Device Manager from a UNIX platform, you must be logged in as root in order to receive traps.
Opening a device 37 Procedure steps Step Action 1 From the abbreviated Device Manager window menu bar, choose Device > Open. OR From the Device Manager toolbar, click the Open Device button.

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.
Understanding the Device Manager window In addition, the Help menu provides a legend that identifies the port colors and their meanings. Using shortcut menus Objects in the device view, such as the chassis, ports, and cards, have shortcut menus. These menus provide a faster path for editing objects and applying changes; however, you can access the same options through the menu bar or the toolbar.

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.
Understanding the Device Manager window Device Manager buttons Button Description Apply Applies the changes you have entered in fields on a tab or dialog box. The button is dimmed until you change a parameter. Changes are displayed as bold text or numbers.
