Use the following guidelines:

•Icons representing available server connections and published applications are displayed on the background. Hovering the mouse pointer over an icon pops-up information about the connection. Right-clicking (or left-clicking if the mouse buttons are reversed) on an icon opens a Connection Settings dialog box which displays additional information about the connection.

•You can open a server connection/published application by double-clicking a desktop icon or you can navigate to the desktop icon you want by using tab key and pressing Enter to initiate the connection.

•The desktop menu may be opened by clicking the mouse button on the desktop background or by clicking on the User Name button on the task bar.

•If configured to display (by an administrator), the volume control is displayed in the right corner of the taskbar and the current time and date are shown when the cursor is placed on the time.

Note

The thin client is capable of synchronizing its clock to time provided by a

Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server.

•Use CTRL+ALT+UPARROW to toggle between window display modes.

•Use CTRL+ALT+DOWNARROW to open a selection box for toggling between the desktop, Connect Manager, and currently-active connections.

•Keyboard shortcuts are supported. Use the LEFT ALT+UDERLINED LETTER on the keyboard for keyboard shortcuts (the RIGHT ALT+UDERLINED LETTER combination is not currently supported).

•Use the System Preference dialog box to switch the left and right buttons. For information on the System Preference dialog box, refer to "Setting System Preferences."

•In addition to the standard two-button mouse, the thin client supports a Microsoft Wheel Mouse (used for scrolling). Other similar types of a wheel mouse may or may not work.

•You can copy and paste between application sessions and between sessions and the desktop, however, this function depends on session server configurations.

Viewing System Information

System information is available from the taskbar and from the System Information dialog box.

If configured by the administrator, CPU usage and free memory are displayed in the box on the right side of the taskbar. If you click on this area, it will toggle between percent of CPU usage currently in use and available free memory in megabytes. If you put the mouse cursor on the taskbar without clicking, a popup appears showing the number (for example, percent of CPU currently in use and available free memory in megabytes). This information is also available in the System Information dialog box.

Note

Starting an ICA or RDP connection requires at least 2 megabytes of free memory.

Clicking the ? icon on the task bar (or selecting System Information from the Desktop menu) opens the System Information dialog box where you can view thin client system information (see "Accessing System Information").
