Mouse 39

Dial-up connection

You can use a dial-up modem with the thin client to access a dial-up server. This method provides two ways to access the enterprise intranet:

An enterprise dial-up server connects directly to the enterprise intranet.

● An Internet Service Provider (ISP) dial-up server provides access to the Internet, from which the thin client must access an enterprise Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) Virtual Private Network (VPN) server that connects to the enterprise intranet.

NOTE:

The dial-up server must be a Microsoft Remote Access Server or another server that supports industry-standard protocols.

Direct connection

This type of connection allows you to connect directly to another computer through the serial port on the terminal.

NOTE:

This option is available only to thin clients with serial ports.

Virtual Private Network (PPTP) connection

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables the secure transfer of data between a remote client (in this case the thin client) and an enterprise server environment by creating a

VPN across TCP/IP-based data networks such as the Internet. It provides a password-protected path through the enterprise firewall to the enterprise server environment in which the network and session services required by the thin client reside.

Access to the internet requires an Internet Service Provider (ISP). You may use any of the standard means of connecting to the ISP, such as a dial-up modem, cable modem, or DSL modem.

You must first establish the connection to the ISP, before contacting the enterprise PPTP VPN server. This includes dial-up access as well as direct access through the cable modem and DSL modem paths.

Virtual Private Network (L2TP) connection

Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) merges Microsoft’s PPTP protocol with Cisco’s Layer Two Forwarding

(L2F) protocol. L2TP is basically the same as PPTP; the primary difference is that L2TP supports encryption.

PPP Over Ethernet (PPPoE) connection

This is a connection from the thin client Ethernet port directly to the enterprise intranet. No additional hardware is required.

In this configuration all network services may be used, including the enterprise DHCP server. A DHCP server on the network may provide not only the terminal’s IP address, but also the location of the file server containing the software updates.

Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a remote control program that allows you to view and interact with one computer (the “server”) using a simple program (the “viewer”) on another computer anywhere on the

Internet. The VNC Server runs as a service and therefore is available even when the user is logged off the thin client.

ENWW View or Remove Programs 57

Settings for VNC Server

Configure VNC Server on your thin client by selecting the following:

Check Box

Prompt local user to accept incoming connections

Enable Viewer Cursor

Explanation

The default should be ENABLED and Auto Accept should be ENABLED

Accept input events from clients

Autoport Select

Accept connections on port

Allow HTTP connections on port

This setting allows the viewer to show its cursor on the screen while moving the mouse.

The viewer shows a small dot that points to the actual location of the “hot spot” of the remote cursor location. Enabling this setting will show the local cursor of the viewer; however, the remote dot will lag behind the local viewer cursor as it tries to synchronize the local viewer cursor.

Enabling this setting will allow the viewer to control the keyboard and mouse of the unit remotely.

This setting will be devalued, leaving only the “Accept connections on port” and

“Allow HTTP connections on port”.

Defaults to the standard VNC port of 5900.

Defaults to the standard VNC port of 5800 for JVM (Java)-enabled Web Browser

Viewers.

NOTE:

Windows CE does not support Java.

You can find additional information about VNC Server features at: http://www.realvnc.com/ documentation.html

.

Volume & Sounds

The Volume & Sounds Properties dialog box allows you to adjust the volume setting and enable sounds for various events and conditions. You can also create custom sound schemes for various events.

RDP 5.5

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) 5.5 replaces RDP 5.1 and provides the following functionality:

Unicode compatibility, which enables you to send Unicode values of characters as virtual key codes to the keyboard input.

RDP supports operation in any environment that allows network localization, automatic disconnect, and remote configuration.

Variable bandwidth allocation through client-side bitmap caching and optional compression for lowbandwidth connections, significantly improving performance over low-bandwidth connections.

Multichannel-capable protocol that permits separate virtual channels for carrying presentation data, serial-device communication, licensing information, and heavily encrypted data.

Remote control which lets the support staff view and control a Terminal Services session. Sharing input and display graphics between two Terminal Services sessions lets support staff diagnose and resolve problems remotely.

Network Load Balancing (NLB), available in Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Datacenter

Server.

High color 8-bit, 16-bit, and 24-bit graphics are supported if they are also supported in the graphics driver.

ENWW Programs 67

Clipboard sharing, also known as clipboard redirection. The local clipboard becomes a part of the clipboard viewer chain in the remote session, allowing the user to copy and paste between applications running in both the remote session and on the local client.

● Local-printer redirection so server applications can print locally to the client device.

Local audio playback so server applications can direct audio to the client device or play at the

Terminal Server.

● Local-port redirection so server applications can use parallel and COM ports of the client device.

Local drive redirection so server applications can use the file system (including ATA) of the client device.

● File redirection filter that permits exposing only specific directories. If you specify that only external storage, such as Compact Flash or USB storage, be exposed through the redirected drive, information is saved only to the redirected drive.

TS CAL maintenance tool. This control panel window is available in any OS design that supports

Control Panel programs, such as the Enterprise Web Pad. It requires that RDP client be in the runtime image.

RDP now runs in Graphics, Windowing, and Events Subsystem (GWES) rather than in its own process space. This provides faster display updates by reducing the protected server library (PSL) and kernel overhead. RDP running in GWES can improve performance up to 30%.

NOTE:

If you configured RDP to run in GWES, you cannot run RDP inside a Web browser.

Optionally, you can configure RDP to run in Microsoft ActiveX Control.

Terminal Emulation Connection

Terminal Emulation Connection (TEC) allows you to create a terminal emulation session for a terminal.

Registry Import/Export

ATTENTION: When deploying an image and settings from a “source” or “master” thin client to a “target” thin client, please make sure that source/master and target thin clients have identical hardware. This is applicable regardless of deployment method being used: HP ThinState Tools, Altiris Deployment Solution,

HP OpenView Client Configuration Manager, or any other deployment solution being used.

This chapter explains how to import/export a thin client registry using Altiris Deployment Server. For more information about Altiris, see http://www.altiris.com/ .

For information about installing an Altiris BootWorks partition, see http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/ docs/support/SupportManual/c00215445/c00215445.pdf

.

The Registry Import/Export tool is an HP-engineered software technology that makes it significantly easier and more cost efficient to manage HP thin clients. Registry Import/Export allows thin client devices to inherit properties of other thin client devices. Extracting the settings of one device and redeploying the same settings to other devices reduces network congestion. Registry settings can be 100 to 10,000 times smaller than the entire image.

Please note the following about the Registry Import/Export tool:

The tools requires extensive knowledge of Altiris Deployment Server.

The source and target machine must have the same image with the same quantity of software addons, and the software add-ons must be of the same revision. The Registry Import/Export Tool cannot upgrade or downgrade application versions.

The import/export process may take approximately two minutes to complete.

CAUTION:

Currently, Registry Import/Export between the HP Compaq t5510 thin client and the

HP Compaq t53x0 and t5500 thin clients is not supported.

Clearing the destination registry

Before importing a new registry to a thin client, you must clear the destination machine registry. To clear the registry, drag and drop CE_RegReset from the Job window to the Destination Computer. Completion of this process takes two to three minutes.

ENWW Clearing the destination registry 73

Exporting and importing a registry

To export a registry:

1

.

Open the Deployment Server Console.

2

.

Select CE_RegExport from the Job window and drag and drop the Job to the source unit under the

Computers window. This copies the source computer’s registry and prepares it for import.

3

.

Select CE_RegImport from the Job window and drag and drop the job to the destination computer under the Computers window. This imports the settings from the source computer to the destination computer.

Importing a registry to multiple units

You can import a single registry to multiple units. To import a registry to multiple units:

1

.

Select CE_RegExport from the Job window and drag and drop the Job to the source unit under the

Computers window. This copies the source computer’s registry and prepares it for import.

2

.

Select CE_RegImport from the Job window and drag and drop the job to “All Computers” under the Computers window. This imports the settings from the source computer to the network.

Exporting registries from multiple units

While it is possible to export registries from multiple thin clients, it is important to ensure the registry files have different names. The export process saves a time stamp as part of the name for the saved file (for example, 051306840.reg, which is May 30, 2006 at 8:40). If you export multiple units at the same time, the registry file names will be identical. To create distinct file names for each registry, HP recommends that you capture each registry a minute apart.
