Distributed Systems Management/Software Configuration Manager. A tool for the
centralized planning, management, and installation of software on distributed (target)
HP systems. DSM/SCM runs on a customer’s central system and performs the tasks of
receiving, archiving, configuring, and packaging software for the customer target sites.

dotted-decimal notation. The standard external representation of an Internet address
comprising the ASCII value of each of the four octets, separated by periods (for
instance, 133.50.85.43). Each octet value is a number in the range 0 to 255 inclusive,
expressed either in decimal with no prefix or in hexadecimal preceded by the
characters 0X (with X in either uppercase or lowercase letters). For example, two other
valid ways to express this example address are all hexadecimal
(0x85.0x32.0x55.0x2b), and a combination of decimal (ASCII) and hexadecimal
(133.0X32.85.0X2B). See also Internet address.

Trap Subagent. It contains objects that characterize individual events.
EMS Trap Subagent. The SNMP subagent that translates EMS events into SNMP traps
whose objects are defined in the EMS Trap MIB.
ENDPOINT object. The SNMP agent configuration object that describes an interface for
request/response messages. The object has two attributes: HOSTADDR (the Internet
