Using the Configuration Tool to configure the workstation

The Configuration Tool allows you to configure the following applications on your workstation:

vIndependent Computing Architecture (ICA) Client

vICA Remote Application Manager

vNetscape 4.5 browser (without Netscape JVM support)

v3270 emulator to S/390® hosts

v5250 emulator to Application System/400 (AS/400)® hosts

vVT emulator

vAdvanced diagnostics

The Configuration Tool also allows you to configure the single user preferences that are independent of the applications, such as mouse orientation. It also provides a means to update the software on the CompactFlash card.

The first time you power on the workstation, the Configuration Tool displays automatically after you complete the Setup Utility configurations. You must complete the Configuration Tool configurations before you can access applications from network servers. However, you do not need to complete the advanced settings to create a basic, working configuration. After you have completed the Configuration Tool, click Save and Restart to save your settings and restart the workstation with your new configuration.
