Specify Custom Filter Sets in the VCM Remote Settings
VCMRemote supports three connection types: broadband, dial-up, and LAN. To optimize the collection of
data, you must specify the collection filter set for each connection used in your environment.
When a mobile Windows machine connects to the network using one of three connection types and the
VCM Remote client indicates the presence of the machine, VCMdetermines the connection type and uses
the collection filter specified for the connection when collecting data from the target machine. This method
enables mobile VCM Remote client machines to connect using any of the connection types and to collect
data using a filter set optimized for the connection type.

Filter Sets" on page 169.
