Installation

You can obtain the Element Manager Through SiteWizard CD-ROM or you can download it viahttps://www.online.nokia.com/SWD/: Software Delivery > Operations Support Systems > Element Management Products > SiteWizard.

To install the Element Manager, follow the instructions of the SiteWizard installation program.
The installation program should start automatically when the CD-ROM is inserted in the CD-ROM drive. If it does not start, run setup.exe from the CD-ROM manually.

If you received the Element Manager installation package as a compressed file (.zip), extract the zip file contents into some temporary directory in your hard disk. Then run setup.exe from the directory. After the installation is completed, you can delete the temporary directory and its contents.

The Element Manager files are installed into the directory you selected during the installation (referred to as "Installation Directory").

The Element Manager startup (shortcut) icon is added into the "Nokia Siemens Networks" folder.

The Element Manager executable "FXCRRIMan.exe" is located in the Installation Directory.

To use connection services of the Element manager, GCS communication service (as per the compatibility chart above) must be installed.
