Display links to Web Admin for SMS - If this is selected, you must also specify the URL in the format http//<server name>/AexWebAdmin, in the box for Web Admin for SMS.

Note If the user is viewing object properties for an asset that has been imported from an SMS source, a link will be displayed that will invoke Web Admin for SMS so that the user can use the resource tools (remote control, explore the inventory, or view properties) on the given resource.
