By default, when you access the form to add a laptop in the Command Center, you must click a link to access the installation package, which directs you to the Download Center configured for your Command Center (see Using the Download Center). You can configure the link to go directly to specific packages or to go to another Download Center or another website.
Linking Directly to Packages
You can configure direct links to each version of the laptop installation package. For example, you can configure one link for the Windows operating system and another link for the Macintosh operating system. The laptop installation packages are stored on your Web Server or on a different website.
On the Add laptop page in the Command Center, the first link is based on the end user's operating system. You can configure this operating system-based link by using the PackagePathX and PackageUrlX additional settings.
