Overview

3Com Intelligent Management Center (iMC) runs on Windows. iMC
stores and manages data through Microsoft SQL Server. To ensure
normal operation of iMC, you need to properly install the operating
system, database, and iMC software. You can access the iMC system
through IE6.0 SP1 or higher, or through Firefox 3.0 or higher without
needing to install client software.

Introduction to iMC Components

iMC is composed of the iMC platform and service components. The
iMC platform, which is the required configuration, involves such
common components as Resource Manager, NE Manager, Alarm
Manager, Performance Manager, VLAN Manager, ACL Manager,
Intelligent Configuration Center, and so on. Service components
involve User Access Manager, EAD Security Policy, Wireless Service
Manager, Voice Service Manager, and so on. You can select service
components as needed.
The iMC platform is the basis for implementing various services.
Therefore, before installing service components, you need to install
the iMC platform.
