------------------------------------------------------------------- DMTF DMI MIF File ------------------------------------------------------------------- This directory contains the following files: README.TXT - This file DE305.MIF - The MIF file for the DE305 adapter DE305.MIF is the MIF (Management Information Format) file that describes the DE305 adapter. This is for use with a DMI (Desktop Management Interface) compliant set of tools. Details on how DMI works may be obtained from the DMTF (Desktop Management Task Force). The site ftp.dmtf.org may be accessed via anonymous FTP, and con- tains documentation and other information concerning the work of the DMTF. This README.TXT file describes the modifications that should be made to the MIF file at adapter installation time. Although the file will work fine with no modification, the information in the file will be of significantly greater use with some simple updates. To make the modifications, use any text editor. The editor built into MS-DOS, or NOTEPAD under Windows, both work fine. Setting the Serial Number ------------------------- The serial number may be specified by replacing the <UserSpecified> field with the adapter serial number. The adapter serial number is located on the adapter, as well as the box in which it is packaged. The serial number attribute, before being modified, looks like this: Start Attribute Name = "Serial Number" ID = 4 Description = "Serial number for this component." Access = Read-Only Storage = Specific Type = String(64) Value = "<UserSpecified>" End Attribute // Manually entered during setup Edit the <UserSpecified> field, replacing it with the unit serial number, taking care to leave the quote marks. Example: The unit serial number is DEC0000001. Modify the MIF file as follows: Start Attribute Name = "Serial Number" ID = 4 Description = "Serial number for this component." Access = Read-Only Storage = Specific Type = String(64) Value = "DEC0000001" End Attribute // Manually entered during setup Setting the Installation Time ----------------------------- The installation time may be specified by editing the "Installation" attribute. The "Value" field of the Installation attribute is a Date type, and is formatted as follows: "YYYYMMDDhhmmss.ffffff+zzz" YYYY = Year MM = Month (01-12) DD = Day (01-31) hh = Hour (00-23) mm = Minutes (00-59) ss = Seconds (00-59) ffffff = Fractional seconds zzz = Time zone shift The installation attribute, before being modified, looks like this: Start Attribute Name = "Installation" ID = 5 Description = "The date of the install of this component" Access = Read-Only Storage = Specific Type = Date Value = "19950627120000.000000+000" End Attribute Edit the Value field, replacing it with the installation date and time, taking care to leave the quote marks. Example: You are installing the adapter on August 31, 1995 at 9:38 in the morning. Modify the MIF file as follows: Start Attribute Name = "Installation" ID = 5 Description = "The date of the install of this component" Access = Read-Only Storage = Specific Type = Date Value = "19950831093800.000000+000" End Attribute Note that it is important that the exact format of the Value field is preserved. There should be 14 decimal digits, followed by a decimal point, followed by 6 decimal digits, followed by a + sign, followed by 3 decimal digits. There should be no whitespace, and quotes should enclose the field. Using the MIF file ------------------ This MIF file will work with any DMI compliant management tool. Consult the documentation for your specific SMI management tool for information concerning adding a new MIF to the management database.Download Driver Pack
