Transcend PC Link SmartAgent Driver Agents

3Com’s SmartAgent driver agents, which provide network management capabilities for adapters and PCs, are available with Transcend PC Link SmartAgent software or from 3Com’s bulletin board service (BBS). (For information on 3Com‘s BBS, refer to Appendix B, “Technical Support.”) The driver agents occupy less than 6 KB on client PCs. They are fully SNMP- compliant when used with SmartAgent SoftHub®/DOS or SoftHub/NLM software, one copy of which is included with each copy of Transcend PC Link SmartAgent and Transcend WorkGroup Manager software.

For more information on WorkGroup Manager software, contact your authorized 3Com representative.

Desktop Management Interface

3Com’s support of the Desktop Management Interface (DMI) makes the management of PCs and Fast EtherLink EISA adapters easier. Support of DMI allows any DMI-compatible management application to access 3Com adapter information.

3Com’s SmartAgent driver agents take full advantage of the Management Information File (MIF) included with the DMI software. DMI supports NetWare ODI DOS and NDIS DOS drivers.

For information about DMI software and instructions on how to install it, access 3Com’s BBS, as described in Appendix B.
