The  Intel Client Instrumentation for DMI Version 3.0 is supported in the following operating systems:

•	Microsoft* Windows NT* 4.0 with Service Pack 3 including NDIS HotFix or with a subsequent Service Pack

•	Windows* 95 (NDIS drivers only)

•	Windows 98/Windows Me and

•	Windows 2000.

New Features in this Release

•	DMI Events and SNMP Traps

•	Support for AFT/ALB management (Windows NT 4 and Windows 2000 only)

•	Support for VLAN management (Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 only)

•	Support for Flow Control and TCO management

•	Support for specifying custom solutions and thresholds in the NI_NIC.DAT file in the system directory

For more on the Intel Client Instrumentation for DMI Version 3.0, see the README.TXT file in the DMI-SNMP\WIN32 directory on the Intel CD.


Quality of Service Provider
Quality of Service WMI Provider

Default Install Directory

Default Directory: Program Files\Intel\QoSWMIProvider

You can use the Browse button on the Advanced Features Install dialog box to specify an alternate installation directory.

Overview

The Intel(R) PRO Quality of Service (QoS) Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Provider is a set of software modules that allow WMI-based management applications to manage the QoS capabilities of Intel(R) PRO network adapters. QoS WMI Provider uses WMI, a kernel-level instrumentation technology for the Microsoft Windows platform.

WMI is the middleware layer that allows measurement and instrumentation information to be collected from kernel mode data providers, which is then provided to local or remote user-mode data consumers through the use of a common set of interfaces (Web-based Enterprise Management called WBEM). WMI is a data-independent pipeline between the data consumer and the data provider that makes no assumptions about the format of the data.

The QoS WMI Provider lets WMI-aware management applications set up priority filters to process high priority network traffic before normal traffic. By prioritizing traffic at the host or entry point of the network, network devices can base forwarding decisions on priority information defined in the packet.

WMI-aware management applications using QoS WMI Provider functionality can configure priority filters on the target system to do the following:

•	Tag packets with priority levels or forwarding behaviors

•	Drop incoming packets that match certain criteria

•	Obtain statistics such as number of packets or number of bytes that were tagged with a particular priority

Usage with Applications

WMI-based management applications such as WBEM CIM studio and WBEM Object browser in the WMI SDK can be used to access QoS WMI Provider functionality both locally and remotely. This applies to Windows NT 4.0 Systems (SP4 and later) and Windows 2000 systems.

On Windows 95/98/Me operating systems however, you must carefully configure client systems to allow remote access of QoS WMI Provider functionality.

To do this, you will need to edit the Windows95/98/Me registry to remotely access QoS WMI Provider functionality on Windows 95/98/Me systems from Windows NT(*).

For more on the Intel PRO Quality of Service Windows Management Instrumentation Provider , see the README.TXT file in the WBEM\WMI\QOS directory on the Intel CD.


Network Adapters WMI Provider

Default Install Directory

Default Directory: Program Files\Intel\NicWMIProvider

You can use the Browse button on the Advanced Features Install dialog box to specify an alternate installation directory.

Overview

The Intel(R) PRO Network Adapters WMI Provider is a set of software modules that allow WMI-based management applications (such as Intel's LANDesk(R) Client Manager 6.0) to monitor the status of PCI network adapters.

Intel(R) PRO Network Adapters WMI Provider uses WMI, a kernel-level instrumentation technology for the Microsoft Windows platform.

Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is a middleware layer that allows measurement and instrumentation information to be collected from kernel mode data providers and then to be provided to local or remote user-mode data consumers through the use of a common set of interfaces (Web-based Enterprise Management called WBEM). WMI is a data-independent pipeline between the data consumer and the data provider that makes no assumptions about the format of the data.

For example, Intel(R) PRO Network Adapters WMI Provider uses the WMI event notification mechanism to send an event if a loosely plugged-in cable is disconnected and a system's Ethernet signal is lost.

Make sure that the driver included on the Intel CD is used to view custom information regarding Adapter Fault Tolerance and Adapter Load Balancing (AFT/ALB).

Usage with Applications

WMI-based management applications such as WBEM CIM studio and WBEM Object browser in the WMI SDK can be used to access Intel(R) Client Instrumentation properties both locally and remotely.

This is true by default on Windows NT 4.0 Systems (SP4 and later) and Windows2000 systems.

On Windows 95/98/Me operating systems, however, you must carefully configure client systems to allow remote access of Intel(R) PRO Network Adapters WMI Provider properties.

For more on the Intel PRO Network Adapters WMI Provider, see the README.TXT file in the WBEM\WMI\NIC directory on the Intel CD.


Priority Packet
Priority Packet II

Default Install Directory

Default Directory: Program Files\Intel\Priority

You can use the Browse button on the Advanced Features Install dialog box to specify an alternate installation directory.

Overview

Intel® Priority Packet is a utility that lets you set up priority filters to process high priority network traffic before normal traffic. Using Priority Packet, you can set up priority filters to give priority to time-critical traffic. You can set up filters that apply to the entire system, or to specific network components (individual adapters, VLANs, or adapter teams).

Use Priority Packet filters to:

•	Tag packets with priority levels or forwarding behaviors

•	Apply global priority filters to all network components for your system

•	Apply local priority filters to a specific network component (an individual adapter, adapter team, or VLAN)

•	Drop incoming packets that match certain criteria

•	Count the number of packets that match certain criteria

Install Checkboxes
What do the Checkboxes Mean?

A checkbox appears in front of each installable feature.  These checkboxes can appear in three states:

•	A blank checkbox means that this feature is not currently installed and that you have not selected it for installation.

•	A light gray check in a checkbox means that an existing version of the feature is already installed on your system.  You can click on a light gray checkmark to change it to a dark checkmark, indicating that you want to reinstall or upgrade that feature.
NOTE:  When you install over an earlier version of a feature, it is upgraded.  Any and all settings specified in the earlier version are applied to the upgrade version.  When you install over the same version of a feature, it is reinstalled.  If you attempt to reinstall, any and all settings will be lost.  When you click on a light gray checkmark, a message informs you whether you will be upgrading or reinstalling that component.  At that time you will be given the option to accept or cancel the install.

•	A dark check in a checkbox means you have selected this feature for installation.  Installation will occur on all items you have selected with a dark checkmark when you click the Install button.

You cannot install an earlier version of a feature over a later version.

PROSet II will automatically be selected for installation whenever you select the following advanced features:

•	Intel® PRO Network Adapters WMI Provider
