Terminal Services and the IBM NAS Administration Console

If you are familiar with Windows operating systems, you can use Terminal Services. In some cases, you must use Terminal Services to complete administrative tasks.

You can access Terminal Services in two ways:

1.Through the UM Services browser, as described in step 3 on page 16.

2.By using the Terminal Services Client software.

To use Terminal Services Client, complete the following steps to install it on the remote workstation and connect to your NAS 200 appliance:

1.Insert the Supplementary CD into the workstation CD-ROM drive.

2.Click Start Run.

3.In the Open field, type (with quotes)

"x:\Terminal Services Client\Disk 1\setup.exe"

where x is the drive letter assigned to the CD-ROM drive. Then click OK to begin the Terminal Services Client Setup program.

4.Accept the defaults in each window that opens or refer to the Microsoft Windows documentation for more instructions. When the Terminal Services Client Setup program is completed, proceed to the next step.

5.Check the workstation network TCP/IP protocol configuration settings.

Connecting to the desktop through Terminal Services

1.Click Start Programs Terminal Services Terminal Services Client.

2.In the Server field, select the computer name of the desired NAS 200 . If the desired NAS 200 is not listed, enter the IP address or the computer name of the NAS 200. The computer name is predefined as IBM5194-xxxxxxx, where xxxxxxx is the serial number located in the lower right corner of the bezel on the front of the appliance. If you have changed the computer name from the predefined value, use that name instead.

For Size, select a size other than full screen in which the NAS 200 desktop will appear, then click Connect to start the Terminal Services Client session. A user log in window displays.
