INTELLIGENT MANAGEABILITY FOR ARMADA PORTABLE PRODUCTS (cont.) ... Compaq Insight Manager Using the industry standard SNMP protocol found in Windows 95 and Windows NT Workstation, Compaq Insight Manager delivers world-class client-server management for all commercial products from Compaq. One of Insight Manager's core features is the ability to connect to the Insight Management Agent running (and pre-installed) on all Armada portable PCs and remotely view the AssetControl and other configuration data. Figure 3: Using Compaq Insight Manager to view configuration data of connected PCs. For more information on Compaq Insight Manger, please see the Integration Management section. The Compaq Management Solutions Partners Program The other method for viewing AssetControl data remotely is through the Compaq Management Solutions Partners Program. This program is a Compaq initiative that ensures compatibility and integration of Intelligent Manageability features with products from a broad range of leading PC LAN management vendors. This program allows customers to manage Armada portable PCs remotely using their tool of choice. For more information on the Compaq Management Solutions Partners Program, please see the Integration Management section. AssetControl data significantly extends upon the information that the Management Solutions Partners products can extract and present from other vendors' products. Information such as processor type, IRQ maps, and memory configuration is available from any PC. The unique AssetControl information, on the other hand, provides the key that helps make Armada portable PCs easier to inventory. Accurately tracking Asset Tags, model information and system / component serial numbers allows a PC administrator to pinpoint asset locations. The ability to track this information over the network lowers the cost of inventory tracking and allows a service technician to arrive at a PC site with the proper replacement parts if hardware problems arise. 6
