Using Desktop Management Interface (DMI) 2.0

The 3C905C NIC supports DMI 2.0 and 2.0s, which enables managed PCs and net PCs to report details about themselves and their peripheral devices across the network to a DMI 2.0-compliant management application.

A network administrator can then use this information to configure and manage a client or server PC remotely.

For instructions on installing the 3Com DMI Agent, see Appendix C.
