DESCRIPTION:  This Softpaq brings together all the necessary components to 
perform Remote Management on the Compaq Professional Workstation 5100.
It unpacks four other SoftPaq files (SP4045, SP5181, SP5910, SP5911) and 
a template file (CPQSECWS.SOT).

Compaq Remote Management allows the user to remotely wakeup and shutdown 
client Workstations, flash the System ROM, and configure security options.  

Compaq Remote Management requires the following components, all of 
which are included in this Softpaq :

1. Compaq Support Software (SSD) for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, 
   Version 2.04 Rev A.
   Includes the Remote Services Driver which is automatically installed by
   the SSD Setup program which includes support for ROM Flash and Security.
   (In SoftPaq SP5181.EXE)

2. Remote Management Setup Utilities Version 1.00 Rev B.
   Contains administrative programs used to remote wakeup, shutdown, 
   and develop packages that can be distributed to perform ROM Flashing and 
   Remote Security Administration. (In SoftPaq SP4045.EXE)

   IMPORTANT: This version of Remote Management Setup does work on the 
              Professional Workstation 5100, even though file SP4045.TXT 
              does not list this as one of the Products Affected.  
              The Professional Workstation Security Options Template
	      (see item 4. below) adapts the use of this utility to the 
              Professional Workstation 5100.

3. Compaq Cabinet (*.CAB) File.
   Required by the Remote Management Setup utility for remote ROM 
   flashing. The *.CAB file is a file that contains a ROM binary image 
   file with a secure digital signature.  Remote Management Setup 
   utility verifies the digital signature during the remote flashing 
   process.   (In SoftPaq SP5911.EXE)

4. Professional Workstation Security Options Template.
   This file contains parameters specific to features for the 
   Professional Workstation 5100. (File CPQSECWS.SOT)
      
5. Professional Workstation 5100 Flash Recovery ROMpaq dated 01/23/98. 
   System ROM dates prior to January 23, 1998 are not capable of remote
   management. (In SoftPaq SP5910.EXE)

IMPORTANT: In preparation For Remote Management note the following: 

Distribution software, such as Microsoft SMS or Norton Administrator 
for Networks, is required to transmit the remote management requests 
over the network. 

Specific Remote Management instructions are available in the Remote
Management Administrator's Guide, located in the online help of the 
Remote Management Setup application.

Before you flash a System ROM, be sure to have a Flash Recovery ROMpaq 
Firmware Diskette (step 6 below) in the unlikely event of flash upgrade 
failure.

and follow the on-screen instructions to unpack the files.
