SMS 1.2 Clients Supported by SMS 2.0 Consoles

An SMS 2.0 Remote Tools console can connect to and carry out remote functions on SMS 1.2 client workstations. The three differences you will notice are:

• Ping Test is not automatically enabled by default on 1.2 clients as it is on SMS 2.0 clients. The Ping Test icon on the SMS 2.0 Remote Tools console might either be available or unavailable depending on the client-side setting on the SMS 1.2 client.
• The SMS 2.0 TCP/IP protocol (which is an enhancement over UDP or TCP over sockets in SMS 1.2) is not available. This can result in lost connections and incorrect screen redraws due to the absence of error handling inherent in the UDP protocol.
• Absence of Vector Interrupts and Windows Drivers functionality. These two features have been removed from SMS 2.0 at the request of users.
