Chapter 1 Installing SREM

The Security & Router Element Manager (SREM) is a graphical user interface that allows users to conﬁgure and monitor a variety of devices, including the Nortel Secure Network Access Switch 4050 (Nortel SNAS

4050) and the Nortel Secure Router 6200 Series. SREM runs in an online, interactive mode, and allows the management of

multiple devices from a single application. This chapter includes the following topics:

•

"Installing SREM on your system" (page 21)

SREM installation precautions

The following warnings apply to SREM on all operating environments:

•

If you have other Nortel devices in your network, and are running earlier versions of SREM software, you must install the newest version of SREM in order to access the switches running the latest software.

•

To maintain multiple versions of SREM on your system, choose a different installation folder for each new version of SREM.

16 Chapter 1 Installing SREM

To replace an existing version of SREM, you must complete the uninstall process ﬁrst. The uninstall process is launched when:

— the SREM uninstall process is started manually (see "Accessing the

uninstall application" (page 17) "Accessing the uninstall application" (page 17))

— the install folder selected during an SREM installation already

contains a version of the software

•

SREM saves the IP addresses that are visited to an encrypted network conﬁguration (.xvn) ﬁle. Uninstalling SREM does not remove this settings ﬁle.

For details about creating a network conﬁguration ﬁle, refer to "Saving

a network conﬁguration" (page 47) "Saving a network conﬁguration" (page 47).

• The network conﬁguration ﬁle containing IP addresses visited from a

previous SREM version is automatically used by a newly installed SREM version. If you do not wish to use the existing network conﬁguration ﬁle, rename or delete the network conﬁguration ﬁle before starting the SREM.

System requirements

Before you install SREM, ensure that you have the current installation ﬁle and that your system meets the following minimum requirements:

•

Java Runtime Environment 1.4.2_02 or later (w

• Win 2k, Win NT 4.0 or later, Windows XP

•

Hardware: P3 1.2 GHz or higher

•

Memory: 512 MB

•

Hard drive space: 72.5 MB

Removing previous versions of SREM

Removing previous versions of SREM is an optional process. Multiple versions of SREM can exist on one system, as long as each version is installed in a separate location. If you decide to allow previous versions of SREM to remain, then you must choose a different folder to use during the installation process.

For details about the Uninstall process, refer to "Uninstalling SREM" (page

17) "Uninstalling SREM" (page 17).

Accessing the uninstall application

If you attempt to install SREM in a folder that already contains a version of the software, then you are prompted to uninstall the existing version automatically before completing the install process.

There are also two ways to access the SREM uninstall application manually:

•

"Using the Start Menu shortcut" (page 17)

•

"Using Windows Explorer" (page 17)

•

"Using the Start Menu shortcut" (page 17)

•

"Using Windows Explorer" (page 17)

Using the Start Menu shortcut

Remove existing versions of SREM software with the Uninstall Security & Routing Element Manager option, created in the Windows Start menu during installation.

For example, to remove SREM from a Windows XP system using the default program group, choose the following option from the Windows Start menu:

All Programs > Nortel Networks Device Manager > Uninstall Security & Routing Element Manager.

Removing previous versions of SREM 17

Using Windows Explorer

If no program group was added to the Windows Start menu during installation, then complete the following steps to access the SREM uninstall software:

Step Action 1

Navigate to the folder where the SREM software is installed using Windows Explorer.

2 3

Open the Uninstall_Security & Routing Element Manager sub-folder. Run the Uninstall Security & Routing Element Manager.exe ﬁle.

Note: If more than one version of SREM software is installed, be sure that you select the correct software version to uninstall.

Changing information within the SREM 49

Cutting, copying, and pasting data between devices

Cut, copy and paste information between devices, such as interface cards, to save time when you enter data. If you are entering similar data for several devices, SREM allows you to cut, copy and paste information between devices.

If moving information between multiple network access devices, SREM allows you to cut and paste information from one device to another. Copying is not enabled between devices because you cannot have multiple network access devices in the Device List with the same conﬁguration data.

Step Action 1

In the Device List, right-click the device with information that you want to cut or copy.

Select Cut or Copy in the right-click menu (Figure 21 "Right-click

menu" (page 45)).

Figure 25 Right-click menu

In the Device List, right-click the device heading for the network access device where you want to paste the copied information.

Select Paste As in the right-click menu. The Paste As dialog box appears (Figure 26 "Paste As dialog box"

(page 49)).
