About Managing the Computer in Your Network
When you have multiple computers and peripherals in your network, it is essential to
have an easy way to manage updates, configure all of the devices, and remotely trouble-
shoot problems. Honeywell provides a free device management software platform
called SmartSystems™ Foundation to help you manage your devices. You can also pur-
chase third-party device management software through a vendor.
Manage the Computer Using SmartSystems Foundation
SmartSystems Foundation is a software platform that lets you manage all of your
SmartSystems-enabled devices simultaneously from a central server. The SmartSys-
tems Foundation console displays all SmartSystems-enabled computers and peripher-
als in your network.
SmartSystems Foundation Console
Through the console, you can:
• drag-and-drop configuration bundles, operating system updates, and firmware
upgrades to multiple computers.
• save configuration settings from a single device and deploy those settings to many
devices simultaneously.
• remotely change settings on SmartSystems-enabled computers and peripherals.
The SmartSystems Foundation console can report on asset locations and battery sta-
tus, making it easier to manage your devices.
With a Provisioning license, SmartSystems Foundation can automatically push soft-
ware, configuration settings, and other files to connected computers. You can download
SmartSystems Foundation from the Honeywell website at no charge. To purchase a
Provisioning license, contact your Honeywell sales representative.
