Introduction

Task Pane & Summary Pane

The Task Pane and Summary Pane are in the bottom area of the main Management Console window. They display the execution status for each task. If there is more than one device for a listed task, the status of each device will be listed.

Template Pane

The Template Pane is in the top-right of the Management Console

 

main screen. The templates that are applicable to the listed client

 

devices are listed here.

Status Bar

The Status Bar is shown at the very bottom of the main Management

 

Console window. Descriptions of various items in HP Device Man-

 

ager are displayed here when the mouse cursor moves over them; for

 

example, a description of each Device Pane icon is displayed when

 

the mouse cursor moves over each icon.

EWF

Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) provides the ability to write-protect a

 

run-time image. By redirecting all write requests to either a separate

 

disk partition or RAM, EWF allows the run-time image to maintain

 

the appearance of a writeable run-time image. Additionally,

 

Enhanced Write Filter provides the ability to deploy a run-time

 

image onto read-only media, such as a CD-ROM.

Agent Mode

Agent Mode is the mode of the Management Agent to acquire tasks

 

from the Management Gateway. Through configurations to the

 

Agent mode, the agent can work at the NAT network without Gate-

 

way. The Agent mode can be either Push mode or Pull mode. Push

 

mode means the gateway sends the available task to the agent, and

 

Pull mode means the agent would require the task from the gateway

 

at regular intervals.
