Element Manager
The BCM Element Manager is a client-based management application that runs on a Windows
computer or on a Citrix server. The Element Manager allows for connection to BCM50 devices
over an IP network. It is used to configure, administer, and monitor BCM50 devices.
The BCM Element Manager allows you to connect to the BCM50 devices to be managed either
through an IP network connection, or through the craftsperson OAM port on BCM50 devices that
include a craftsperson port.
