Implementing Asset ID

Asset ID is a radio-frequency identification technology that lets you read and write PC system data using RF devices such as handheld scanners. It can be considered the next generation of barcodes, but instead of actually having to find and scan the barcode then looking up a database to find the matching information, you simply hold the scanner near the system and all the system information is read in real-time, directly from the system.

Asset ID is available in recent models of the IBM PC 300PL, NetVista, and IntelliStation workstations, plus selected ThinkPad models.

Asset ID aids deployment by recording end-user information and software requirements on individual PCs without having to unpack them from the cardboard box. It also makes inventory reporting easier because you no longer have to open the system unit to determine what components are installed.

This redbook describes how to implement Asset ID. We describe what the components are and how the technology works. We explain how to use Asset TraQ and the Asset ID Starter Kit, two Asset ID solutions from IBM Business Partner QueTel Corporation. We then take a look at how to implement Asset ID with the following management products: LANClient Control Manager (LCCM), Software Delivery Assistant (SDA), Netfinity Director, and the Tivoli FrameWork.
