Chapter 3 Desktop Basics

Using Your Desktop

The following sections describe the available options on the thin client desktop that allow manual configuration of certain options.

Although manual configuration is possible, Cisco highly recommends that you use central configuration to automatically push updates and any desired default configuration to all supported thin clients in your environment (see Administration Guide for Cisco Virtualization Experience Client Manager).

Using Your Desktop

The desktop provides various applications and tools for use.
