Tree data can get corrupted

Issue
Avoid using quotes in folders and or device names. The tree data will get corrupted
and the tree nodes will not be saved.
Solution
Do not use quotes in folders or device names.

Excessive memory usage if BEM left running for extended periods of time

Issue
Memory is not released when it is connected to or disconnected from the device.
When you use the connect feature to manage BES 1xx/2xx devices, a certain
amount of memory (1-2 megs) is not released upon disconnect. Over an extended
period of time with multiple connect and disconnect events from BES 1xx/2xx
devices, memory resources on the Business Element Manager workstation become
scarce.
Solution
Close the Business Element Manager when you complete configuration tasks. This
frees all memory.

BES shelf level graphics displays are not always visible on Windows XP

Issue
BEM doesn't display unit and port info for BES.
Under certain but rare conditions that are not fully understood, the BES shelf level
graphics panel that is displayed by default when connecting to a BES device may not
display when the Business Element Manager is running on Windows XP over a VPN
connection. This can result in the inability to view information from the shelf level
graphics display.
Solution
Nortel recommends using the Business Element Manager on the local SMB LAN
instead of a VPN tunnel.
