Netfinity Service—Using the Netfinity Service, the system
|
administrator does not need to stop his task to watch and control
|
the system, because it can be done remotely.
When the
|
Netfinity Service runs in the background, the tasks running on
|
your system do not need to be halted.
The network
|
administrator, at the same time, can monitor the network, so any
|
problems can be avoided before they become severe.
The
|
remote workstation control function of Netfinity Service allows
|
help desk personnel to remotely connect to a user's system and
|
take control of the PC to diagnose and repair system problems.
Universal Management plug-ins—applications or solutions that
provide additional management capabilities throughout the life
cycle of networked system hardware with the goal of reducing
TCO.
|
Asset ID EEPROM
|
The essential component of Asset ID is a radio-frequency interface
|
within each PC that is linked with a system EEPROM.
The Asset ID
|
antenna enables communication between the PC and an
|
industry–standard radio–frequency enabled device.
|
The Asset ID EEPROM contains information about the system
|
including its configuration and the serial numbers of key components.
|
It also includes a number of blank fields you can record with your
|
choice of end user information.
Setting Up System-Management Features
This section describes how to configure the network interface in your
computer.
You can change the settings of system-management
features in Easy-Setup.
Easy-Setup contains the following functions:
Enabling or disabling Wake on LAN
Automatic power-on startup sequence
Enabling or disabling Flash (POST/BIOS) update from the
network
