• How to start the application
• The WebEM tool can be launched in several different ways, both with and without connection to
the BTS
• Launching WebEM tool when connected to the BTS (online) When a user's PC is connected to the
BTS via remote or local BTS port, the WebEM tool can be started directly in the web browser
• Procedure
1. Start the Chrome browser
2. The IP address should be M-plane address of the BTS,
• or (if locally connected) the LMP address
• Step example:
• https://10.46.156.94
• https://192.168.255.1
3. Log in to the web browser using local account credentials or
• Centralized User Accounts. The default credentials are:
• Username: Nemuadmin
• Password: nemuuser
• 4. It is recommended to change the default credentials
