Step 3. Configure Optional Terminal Start-Up Resources

A set of resources independent of the individual applications on the terminal is strongly recommended for ease of use of the system as a whole. Although these resources are optional, providing them will speed up access of certain items, provide enhanced diagnostic capabilities (for troubleshooting problems), provide for swapping in a local-boot environment, provide for print spooling in a local-boot environment, allow for remote administration of the terminal, provide for Internet (or intranet) connections via a modem, and facilitate upgrading the terminal to future revisions.

Fill out the worksheet for Step 3 in Appendix B and use the instructions in Chapter 3 to configure optional terminal start-up resources.

Step 4. Configure Server Application Resources

Some applications on the terminal require a server to be configured with services that the applications must access to operate properly.

Fill out the worksheet for Step 4 in Appendix B and use the instructions in Chapter 4 to configure server application resources.

Step 5. Select Location of Browser

A set of resources must be configured based on your choice of browser access. The choice should be based upon performance, features required, and administrative costs. The terminal is capable of running browsers locally, from a Windows Terminal Server (via the ICA protocol), and from a UNIX server (via the X protocol).

Fill out the worksheet for Step 5 in Appendix B and use the instructions in Chapter 5 to select the location of the browser.

Step 6. Install CD Software onto the Server(s)

After the server resources are configured, you must install software from the installation CD onto the server(s). You do not need to install all the software on the CD on all the servers. You need only to install the portions that correspond to server resources configured in steps 2 through 5 above, and they need to be installed on only the individual servers providing the associated server resources.

Fill out the worksheets for Step 6 in Appendix B and use the instructions in Chapter 6 to install CD software onto the server(s).
