Remote Administration and firmware upgrades

This section highlights and discusses the Remote Administration capabilities and firmware upgrade methods applicable to your thin client.

Altiris Deployment Solution software

The Altiris Deployment Solution software is a full-featured remote administration tool set. It accesses the thin client through the Altiris remote Agent and PXE server utilities installed on the thin client.

Altiris allows you to perform the thin client administration functions (including firmware upgrades) without requiring an administrator to visit the individual thin client sites.

For specific information on using Altiris, consult the Altiris help documentation.

Add-on modules

If you want to install an add-on module, you must use the Altiris Deployment Solution for administering the thin client. Disable/enable the write filter as needed to save the changes.

ÄCAUTION: If the available free space on the flash memory is reduced to below 3 MB, the thin client becomes unstable.

✎For add-on modules to work and be downloaded, there must be sufficient flash space available. In some cases it may be necessary to remove software components to free up space for add-on modules.

Firmware upgrades

The Intel Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) is a protocol that defines interaction between TCP/IP, DHCP and TFTP to enable a client to download a preboot environment from a server. PXE allows a client to boot from a server on a network prior to booting the embedded operating system or the operating system from the local flash module. PXE allows a network administrator to remotely wake up a thin client and perform various management tasks, including loading the operating system and other software onto the thin client
