corporate environments.
SMS connection

system configurations. By using Toshiba’s SMS Connection, a

to the SMS database. With SMS Connection installed on the Tecra
8100 computer, SMS becomes a significantly more useful
management tool in a variety of areas:
❖
Remote trouble shooting is easier with detailed hardware
configuration information at your fingertips.
❖
Systems can be tracked based on serial number as asset tag
information.
❖
Systems with desired hardware configurations or components
can be searched.
❖
Systems that have had unauthorized hardware changes can be
identified.
