Abstract
In order to integrally manage computers and peripheral devices at a user site, when a device monitoring server () receives a trouble message from a device, it sends a message indicating this to a device center server () via a router (). If the received message is a trouble message, the device center server () controls an event adapter to convert the received message into a format that a center server can process, and transfers the converted message to the center server (). Upon receiving the message, the center server () displays occurrence of a trouble in an event list using an event monitor (). The user can simultaneously monitor the versatile computers and peripheral devices by observing the event monitor.
