Introduction
Terminology
Direct Interface
A direct interface component instrumentation runs as a process
independently of the DMI Service Provider. It contacts the DMI Service
Provider via socket IPC to register its component ID and entry points,
and to notify DMI that it will handle all subsequent requests for the
specified information.
Desktop Management Interface (DMI)
The DMTF's standard for management of hardware and software
components in a computer system. (The standard is available from the
DMTF website: www.dmtf.org)
Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF)
An industry-wide consortium committed to making desktop computer
systems easier to use, understand, configure and manage. The

Application Provider API Server.
Management Interface API
The DMI layer between management application and the Service
Provider.
Management Interface Client
DMI's term for the client side of the Management Interface service
which makes calls to the MI Server to manage communication between
DMI-enabled applications and the DMI SP. It allows DMI-enabled
applications to access, manage and control desktop systems,
components and peripherals. The MI Client is part of the management
application.
Management Interface Server
DMI's term for the server side of the Management Interface service
that manages communication between DMI-enabled applications and
the DMI SP. It allows DMI-enabled applications to access, manage, and
control desktop systems, components and peripherals. The MI server is
part of the DMI SP.
