Desktop Management Interface
The Desktop Management Task Force (DMTF) is an industry
body created in 1992 with the goal of standardizing systems
manageability. DMTF established the Desktop Management
Interface (DMI) framework to standardize access to PC
configuration data. Compaq, as a Steering Committee and
Technical Committee member of the DMTF, delivers hardware
and software instrumentation that supports the DMI standard.
For more information on configuring the DMI software, refer to
the online Intelligent Manageability Guide.
Compaq Insight Manager and the Insight Management Agents
Using the industry-standard Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) found in Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows
NT Workstation, Compaq has continued the migration of
management tools from servers to desktops by enhancing
Compaq Insight Manager. Compaq Insight Manager allows the
LAN administrator to remotely view AssetControl data,
configuration data, memory change alerts, NIC performance
data, and contact information. The tool also provides access to
the Fault Management features of the Compaq Deskpro Personal
Computer.
For more information on integrating with Insight Manager and
configuring the Compaq Insight Management Agents, refer to
the online Intelligent Manageability Guide.
