IBM IntelliStation/IBM PC - How to use the Scan feature in LAN Client Control Manager (LCCM)
Applicable to: United States
This document shows users and network administrators how to use LAN Client Control Manager (LCCM) to scan a client system into the client information database.
Prior to scanning:
The new client workstations being scanned must be turned on prior to or during the scan process. You can turn on the client workstations manually, or you can create a wakeup database and turn on the clients remotely. The scan feature does not wake up new client workstations that are turned off.
Ensure that the desired values are set in the Defaults notebook. If you have set the defaults (on the Scan page of the defaults notebook) to collect user data when the new client workstation is scanned, ensure that someone is at each client workstation to answer the questions.
To start the scan process:
1. At the administrator console, start LAN Client Control Manager, then start the scan process by clicking on the Start button in the Installation/Maintenance window. The following actions occur:
a. The text on the button changes to Stop and the Scan icon becomes animated to indicate that a scan is in progress.
b. The scan function collects details about new clients that have been attached to the network since the last scan operation and for which no details are currently recorded in the Clients database of LCCM. The details collected from a scan include:
Network address
Type and model number
Serial number
Amount of random access memory (RAM) installed
Hard disk drive capacity
Video adapter or chipset
c. If you have set the Defaults notebook to ask questions about the client workstation, on-screen prompts display at the client workstation, and an end-user response is required. If a time-out period has been set, the prompts must be answered within the allotted time or else the processing will continue without collecting the end-user input.
d. If a default BIOS administrator password was specified in the General page of the Defaults notebook, the password is assigned to each new client detected during the scan operation.
e. Each new client workstation is placed in the Unassigned Clients list of the Installation/Maintenance window.
2. To stop the scan process, click on the Stop button All client workstations that were properly installed are now added to the LCCM database.
