Figure 5-4. DMI Configuration dialog box
To use this option, you must have a DMI client application, such as
Hewlett-Packard OpenView, already installed on your local
computer and DMI administrative software running somewhere on
your network.
VirusScan software comes packaged with a Management
Information File (AMG.MIF) that identifies VirusScan alerting
attributes to your DMI client application. The DMI client, in turn,
assigns an identifying number to the VirusScan software, so that it
can collect VirusScan alert events and send them to a DMI
administrative application.
In order for VirusScan software to send alert messages with an
identification number that the administrative application can
recognize and process, you must enter the correct ID number here.
Consult your system administrator for specific details that apply to
your DMI software.
When you have entered a number, click OK to close the dialog box.

Configuration dialog box.
