Abstract
The present invention provides for a method and an apparatus for performing remote system administration upon a standalone computer system, using a controlling computer system. A remote communication sequence is started. The remote communication sequence is used to initiate a Hyper-Media Managed Object (HMMO) request to a computer destination address. Communications between the controlling computer system and the standalone computer system is established by decoding the computer destination address. A diagnostic software application program on the standalone computer system is initiated using the established communication between the controlling computer system and the standalone computer system.
Claims39
A method for performing remote system administration upon a standalone computer system, using a controlling computer system, comprising:
- starting a remote communication sequence;
- using said remote communication sequence to initiate a Hyper-Media Managed Object (HMMO) request to a computer destination address;
- establishing communications between said controlling computer system and said standalone computer system by decoding said computer destination address;
- and
- initiating a diagnostic software application program on said standalone computer system using said established communication between said controlling computer system and said standalone computer system.
An apparatus for performing remote system administration upon a standalone computer system, using a controlling computer system, comprising:
- means for starting a remote communication sequence;
- means for using said remote communication sequence to initiate an HMMO request to a computer destination address;
- means for establishing communications between said controlling computer system and said standalone computer system by decoding said computer destination address;
- and
- means for initiating a diagnostic software application program on said standalone computer system using said established communication between said controlling computer system and said standalone computer system.
A computer readable program storage device encoded with instructions that, when executed by a computer, performs a method for performing remote system administration upon a standalone computer system, using a controlling computer system, comprising:
- starting a remote communication sequence;
- using said remote communication sequence to initiate a Hyper-Media Managed Object (HMMO) request to a computer destination address;
- establishing communications between said controlling computer system and said standalone computer system by decoding said computer destination address;
- and
- initiating a diagnostic software application program on said standalone computer system using said established communication between said controlling computer system and said standalone computer system.
