DMI Browser
The NEC DMI Browser is a Windows application provided
by NEC Technologies. The Browser uses the MI to provide
access to MIF attributes and their respective values and to
provide the ability to set attributes and manage DMI
components.
The Browser is a local application; it only accesses the local
MIF database. The Browser lets you access MIF attributes
according to the structure defined by the DMTF. It is not
intended to be a general PC management application. If a
more comprehensive management application is desired, use
a product such as Intel®'s LanDesk Manager™.
The NEC DMI Browser has a graphical user interface. It
displays components in a hierarchical tree structure. Use it
to install or remove MIF files to and from the database and
to inspect or manage components already present in the
database.
By pointing and clicking, components can be expanded and
collapsed. To obtain specific attributes, simply double click
on an attribute and retrieve the associated value.
You can also use the toolbar to manipulate or obtain
information on the MIF file.
The buttons are defined as follows (starting at the left):
Install — to install a new MIF file. Use to add a
component, such as a printer that supports DMI, to
the MIF database.
Remove — to remove a MIF file. Use to remove a
component from the MIF database. Only remove the
system component when it needs to be replaced.
Expand — to expand a component.
Collapse — to collapse a component.
