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):
n
Install — to install a new MIF file. Use to add a
component, such as a printer that supports DMI, to
the MIF database.
n
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.
n
Expand — to expand a component.
n
Collapse — to collapse a component.
n

component's details.
n

Upon exiting the Browser, the program saves the current
viewing configuration. The next time you use the Browser,
it restores all the viewing screens to the last known posi-
tion.
