NCD ThinSTAR 300 Basics

The Connection Manager lets you:

Start connections or switch among currently active connections.

Select the desired Connection Name and click Connect (or simply double-click the Name).

Stop connections.

If problems on the server cause your connection to not respond to a normal logoff (see the following section “Logging Off” on page 1-13) bring up the NCD ThinSTAR Connection Manager, select the connection and click End.

Add or edit new connections.

Use the Configure tab. Clicking Add brings up a New Connection panel. Depending on which connection type you choose, data entry panels display. Complete all needed entries and click OK.

Note If the configure tab is not displayed, your system administrator has disabled it.
