3.1 Starting the DMC
On Windows systems, you can start the DMC via the Start menu: Start > [Intel telecom software
release] > Diagnostics Management Console (DMC). The DMC application can be found in the
bin directory of the installed Intel telecom software.
On Linux systems, you can start the DMC from anywhere since the bin directory is part of the path.
The DMC application (DMC.jar) is the same for both Windows and Linux. You use DMC.bat to
launch the DMC on Windows and dmc.sh to launch the DMC on Linux.
3.2 Launching a Diagnostic Tool
Locate the tool you want in the list of local diagnostic applications (on the left side of the DMC
main window), click on it to highlight it, and then press Enter or select Execute application from
the File menu or press F5. You can also double-click on the tool name to launch it.
The DMC will execute the application via the command shell.
