System Profile The System Profile provides a convenient notebook of pertinent data about a particular user or system. It features many predefined fields for extensive user-specific data, including name, address, office number and location, and phone number. System Profile also includes many predefined fields for system-specific data that might not be available to the System Information Tool, including model and serial numbers and date of purchase. Finally, there are many user-definable miscellaneous fields that can be used to hold any data the user or administrator requires. Update Connector Manager Use Update Connector Manager to quickly and easily gather information about various updates that are available for your client systems. Once available updates are discovered, use Update Connector Manager to apply updates to your systems remotely. Updates can be applied to individual systems, or you can apply multiple updates to multiple systems, all from Netfinity Manager. You can also use Update Connector Manager to remove previously applied updates. Update Connector Manager also includes a scheduler that you can use to discover, apply, or remove updates automatically and periodically. Web Manager Configuration Use the Web Manager Configuration service to limit access to the Netfinity Manager for Web to user-specified TCP/IP host or ranges of TCP/IP host addresses. Enable or disable the Netfinity Manager for Web and specify the TCP/IP port number to which the Netfinity Manager Web server functions. Delaying Netfinity Manager startup on OS/2 systems In some cases, it might be necessary for you to delay the automatic startup of the Netfinity Manager Network Interface (NETFBASE.EXE) in order to allow other time-sensitive applications to start up correctly or to allow your system to fully configure itself prior to beginning network operations. NETFBASE.EXE includes a parameter (WAIT) that you can use to specify the number of seconds that NETFBASE.EXE will wait before starting. During Netfinity Manager installation, the Netfinity Manager Network Interface object is placed in the Startup folder. To configure Netfinity Manager to wait a specified number of seconds before starting: 1. Shut down the Netfinity Manager Network Interface if it is running. 2. Open the Startup folder. 3. Using the right mouse button, click the Netfinity Manager Network Interface object. This will open the Netfinity Manager Network Interface context menu. 4. Click Settings to open the Netfinity Manager Network Interface Settings notebook. 5. In the Parameters field type WAIT:x 138 Netfinity 6000R Type 8682 Models 1RY, 2RY

System Profile
The System Profile provides a convenient notebook of perti-
nent data about a particular user or system.
It features
many predefined fields for extensive user-specific data,
including name, address, office number and location, and
phone number.
System Profile also includes many pre-
defined fields for system-specific data that might not be
available to the System Information Tool, including model
and serial numbers and date of purchase.
Finally, there are
many user-definable miscellaneous fields that can be used
to hold any data the user or administrator requires.
Update Connector Manager
Use Update Connector Manager to quickly and easily gather
information about various updates that are available for your
client systems.
Once available updates are discovered, use
Update Connector Manager to apply updates to your sys-
tems remotely.
Updates can be applied to individual sys-
tems, or you can apply multiple updates to multiple systems,
all from Netfinity Manager. You can also use Update Con-
nector Manager to remove previously applied updates.
Update Connector Manager also includes a scheduler that
you can use to discover, apply, or remove updates automati-
cally and periodically.
Web Manager Configuration
Use the Web Manager Configuration service to limit access
to the Netfinity Manager for Web to user-specified TCP/IP
host or ranges of TCP/IP host addresses. Enable or disable
