The JDM and Ethernet Routing Switch software versions must match for
the correct dialog boxes and information to be shown and accessible.
Please see the Release Notes for a complete compatibility list.
If you want to use JDM to support multiple Nortel switches in your
network, ensure that the JDM version you use supports each version of
software running on each Nortel device in your network.
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 Windows, UNIX, or Linux machine, provided that each version
is stored in a separate directory.)
Do not install the JDM to a directory where a previous version of Device
Manager software already exists.
JDM saves the IP addresses that are visited to a settings file. A JDM
uninstall operation does not remove this settings file.
— In a Windows environment, the settings file is dm.xml, and is created
in the jdm folder, under window user profile directory.
— In a UNIX environment, the settings file is ~/.jdm/dm.xml.
— In a Linux environment, the settings file is ~/.jdm/dm.xml.
The dm.xml file containing IP addresses visited from a previous JDM.
