as the URL in the following format:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
— If the BCM50 is installed but not yet configured, connect directly to the BCM50 through
the OAM port and, using a browser, type the following:
http://10.10.11.1/

7 Follow the prompts to install the Element Manager and BCM Monitor on your computer.
If an older version of Element Manager is already installed on your computer, you can choose
to update the existing installation, or perform a new installation. If you choose to perform a
new installation, you can copy the existing resources to the new installation, including the
device tree, cartridges, and user preferences.
BCM Monitor replaces any older versions of BCM Monitor already installed on your
computer.
8 Once the BCM50 Element Manager is installed, find the BCMEM.exe icon where you
installed it. Nortel recommends that you use the default location. The default installation
location is
C:\Program Files\Nortel\BCM50\BCMElementManager\bin\. Double-click on the
BCMEM.exe icon to launch the Element Manager.

various parts of the basic display. Refer to “Element Manager window attributes” on page 42.

• If the BCM50 you want to connect to is installed and has been booted up (both LEDs should
be solid green), connect your computer to either the craftsperson OAM port on the BCM50, or
to the IP network that connects to the BCM50.
