About Managing the Computer in Your Network
When you have multiple mobile computers and peripherals in your
network, it is essential to have an easy way to manage updates,
configure all the devices, and remotely troubleshoot problems.
Intermec provides two free software solutions for managing your
computers:
• CloneNGo is a peer-to-peer license-free way to easily clone settings
from one computer to another.
• SmartSystems™ is a device management software platform that
helps you manage your devices.
• You can also purchase third-party device management software
through a vendor.
How to Manage the Computer Using CloneNGo
Intermec CloneNGo is a software application that allows you to copy
the settings and parameters from a master computer onto one or more
client computers. Cloning reduces redundancy and error by providing
an efficient and accurate way to copy and transmit settings from a
master computer to one or more client computers through an adhoc
wireless network. For more information on using CloneNGo, see the
CloneNGo User Guide.
How to Manage the Computer Using SmartSystems
Intermec SmartSystems is a software platform that lets you manage all
of your SmartSystems-enabled devices simultaneously from a central
server. From the Intermec website, you can download this application
at no charge. For help, see www.intermec.com/SmartSystems.
The SmartSystems console displays all SmartSystems-enabled devices
and peripherals in your network. 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 the computer and peripherals.
