摘要:
A method for configuring a peripheral device in communication with an information handling system (IHS) is disclosed, wherein the method includes receiving visual data associated with the peripheral device and mapping configuration data to the peripheral device based on the visual data. The method further includes utilizing the configuration data to configure the peripheral device in communication with the IHS. An information handling system (IHS) in communication with an image capturing device is further disclosed including a storage device operable to store a database, the database configured to store a standard image of a peripheral device, wherein the standard image is associated with configuration data for the peripheral device. The system further includes a memory coupled to the storage device and a processor to receive visual data associated with the peripheral device from the image capturing device. The processor is operable to execute a software application configured to match the visual data with the standard image to configure the peripheral device based on the configuration data.

An emergency service provider contact system includes a portable chassis. A processor is housed in the portable chassis. A storage, a communications module, at least one sensor, and a display are coupled to the processor and housed in the portable chassis. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium is housed in the portable chassis, coupled to the processor, and includes instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to monitor the at least one sensor and, in response to detecting an alert event through the at least one sensor, search the storage using the alert event to retrieve contact information for at least one emergency service provider that is associated with the alert event, and contact the emergency service provider through the communications module using the contact information.

Methods and systems are described for factory configuration of existing customer settings so that existing customer settings can be easily configured or pre-configured on new information handling systems. A software module is run on a first information handling system that captures configuration information for an existing information handling system. One example for such configuration information is network configuration information associated with one or more existing wireless and/or wired networks on which a new information handling system will operate. Captured configuration information is transferred to a server information handling system associated with ordering of the new information handling system. The transferred configuration information is then used to configure the new information handling system.

A method supports secure input/output (I/O) communications between an I/O device and a data processing system via a keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) switch. An example embodiment includes the operations of establishing a first secure communication channel between the KVM switch and the I/O device and establishing a second secure communication channel between the KVM switch and the data processing system. In addition, I/O data may be received at the KVM switch from the I/O device via the first secure communication channel. In response to receipt of the I/O data from the I/O device, the I/O data may be transmitted from the KVM switch to the data processing system via the second secure communication channel. Embodiments may also include support for non-secure channels between the KVM switch and nonsecured I/O devices, nonsecured data processing systems, or both.
摘要:
A customer support system includes at least one subsystem to communicate with a customer about a problem with a customer information handling system (IHS), wherein the customer IHS includes a plurality of first customer IHS data. The plurality of first customer IHS data is received from the customer and used to create a virtual IHS having substantially the same characteristics as the customer IHS. A problem with the customer IHS is then diagnosed using the virtual IHS.
