Free Support for DMI-compliant
Desktop Management


Overview Information:

3Com® DMI Agent software provides DMI (Desktop Management Interface) 2.0 support that standards-based management applications need to access NIC and PC Card information such as location, version, packet statistics, and errors. It also enables LAN administrators to configure systems remotely, and to provide failover protection for PCs and servers using multiple NICs.

By centralizing desktop management with DMI-compliant applications, companies can save network administrator time and lower total cost of ownership.

3Com DMI Agent is included with most 3Com NICs and PC Cards. The software is also available free online. This download supports Fast Ethernet (10/100 and 100 Mbps) and Ethernet (10 Mbps) devices. Click here to download the software.

Note: 3Com DMI Agent includes 3Com-specific component instrumentation that requires that you have DMI 2.0 Service Provider software installed on your system. This software is available from a number of vendors. To link to one of these vendors, click here.
