  • Device initiated TCP/IP - a raw TCP/IP connection initiated by a remote device/application which transmits ASCII data
  • Log File - any log file available to the netPrefect device management component (e.g. local or via a windows share of nfs mount point)

  • Port Scan - tests for open ports on the managed device, reporting the port status
  • HP iLO - manage HP Servers through the use of RIBCL commands via a connection to their embedded integrated lights out card
