Desktop Management Interface

3Com’s support of the Desktop Management Interface (DMI) makes the management of PCs and 3C592 EISA adapters easier. Support of DMI allows any DMI-compatible management application to access 3Com adapter information.

3Com’s SmartAgent driver agents can take full advantage of the Management Information File (MIF) that is 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.
