Getting Started

Instant off

The thin client is immediately powered-off when

 

the power button is pressed. No warning is given

 

if a connection is still running.

Ignore

The power button is disabled. Only software can

 

power-off the client.

User may cancel

When the power button is pressed a Shutdown

 

request dialog is displayed allowing the user to

 

confirm or cancel. The dialog will be displayed

 

for the time period specified in the list box. The

 

default duration is 60 seconds, after which the

 

thin client will automatically shut down if the

 

user does not confirm or cancel. This feature is

 

useful to prevent users from having their connec-

 

tions still running on the server while they are

 

logged off.

The setting of the Shutdown terminal if battery below checkbox determines whether the thin client automatically powers-off when battery power falls below a specified level (default 10%).

Managing & Updating Thin Client Software

The software installed in your thin client can be managed and updated from a remote server using Neoware’s ezRemote Manager. This allows an administrator to quickly update or reconfigure thin clients connected to the network without having to leave his desk. All the administrator has to do is install the software update snap-in from Neoware onto the server running ezRemote Manager, then use the Snap-in Manager to update selected thin clients. Please refer to the Neoware ezRemote Manager User Manual for detailed instruc- tions.

You can also update software on your thin client using the Software Update facility as described in the chapter “Updating Your Thin Client Software” on page 273. Note that you can only update the thin client on which you are running Software Update using this method.
