Overview 
One of the key benefits of this tool is that management tasks, such as configuring network or serial 
ports, managing and/or transmitting text and binary files, and monitoring and controlling processes, 
can handled easily using a Windows-based user interface. In addition, MDM can be used to 
manage different models of embedded computer, and embedded computers that use different 
operating systems, all from a single computer. As long as the individual embedded computers are 
pre-installed with an MDM agent, they can be recognized and managed by the unified MDM tool 
from your PC. The following figure shows a sample management system addressed by this tool. 
 
In addition to controlling heterogeneous computer systems, the traffic between the MDM tool and 
any of the MDM agents is encrypted. This feature protects data transmitted from the system. 
To obtain the unified MDM tool and the associated MDM agent, please go to the download center 
on MOXA’s website (
). You need to 
download two installation files under “Driver and Software Downloads.” The files are MDM Tool 
and an associated file named MDM Agent-xxx (the “xxx” represents the model of embedded 
computer you are using. ) 
Installing the MDM Tool 
 The MDM tool is a Windows-based program that must be installed on a PC running Windows XP 
or Windows 2000. Use the following steps to install the software.
