you should be aware that there are 2 ways of using the EM, Database Control for Standalone and Grid control..

usually its http://myhostname:default_port_number/em
As you rightly said the default port during installation is 5500

Also note the myhostname stands for
the IP address or symbolic name of your PC

Telnet the Server.from your PC ..at the command prompt type the command as given below

emctl start dbconsole.

then open the browser http: // myhostname:default_port_number/em

usually port number is 1158 or 5501.

go to command prompt on the server
