About Integrated System Manager (iSM)
HPE Edgeline Integrated System Manager (iSM) is a remote management tool embedded in the HPE Edgeline EL300
Converged Edge System. iSM allows system administrators to remotely configure, update, and monitor system health and
activity. The embedded iSM management module has its own network connection and IP address to which administrators
connect on their dedicated management network, even when the system is powered down. Depending on hardware
configuration, Edgeline systems with iSM can be connected to a management network using Ethernet or a wireless Wi-Fi, 3G,
4G, or LTE connection. iSM offers a Web-based console (iSM GUI), a command line interface (iSM CLI), and is accessible using
the REST API.
