This document describes the technical specifications and configuration options for the BACLITE Communication Driver.

Note: This Communication Driver is hosted by the OI Server Manager, a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in, which is a part of the Operations Control Management Console (OCMC) suite of utilities.
