Using the broadcast update method
To do a broadcast update, plug the client into the same network as the update server. A broadcast
update relies on HP Smart Client Services, which works with IIS to automatically push updates to the
client.
NOTE: Broadcast updates work only if the client is on the same subnet as the server.
