C-Track

The C-Track remote support solution detects and reports events to the HP Support Service. C-Track
transmits heartbeats, SIMs, and configuration information for remote data collection and monitoring
purposes. C-Track also enables the HP Support Service to remotely diagnose issues and perform
maintenance (if the customer allows the remote maintenance). The C-Track solution offers Internet
connectivity only. If you choose the Internet-based remote support solution, additional infrastructure
and site preparation are required. Additional preparation may include server and router
requirements, which you and HP may be responsible for implementing.
