Chapter 1 Getting Started with Your Tablet Client

THIN CLIENT ENVIRONMENT

Client Applications

The Motion LE1600TC Tablet Client includes the following client options.

Citrix MetaFrame Access Program Neighborhood

Citrix is a server based function that is very similar to the Remote Desktop Protocol. You cannot add application software to the Tablet Client. All software applications are accessed through the Citrix MetaFrame Access Program Neighborhood or the Remote Desktop Protocol. Your IT department can tell you if there are applications that you can use with the Citrix environment.

•To open the application, double-tap the Citrix ICA icon or select the application from the Start > All Programs menu.

Remote Desktop

Remote Desktop is a server based desktop where you will find the applications to run on your Tablet Client. Remote Desktop is also where you can save the document and reports that you create and modify as part of your job. You cannot add applications to your Tablet Client because you do not have a hard drive. You can save some number of documents to the Flash Drive but you are limited by the available space. Saving documents in your defined location on the remote server is more secure.

•Microsoft Remote Desktop connection — To open the application, tap Start, select Start > All Programs > Accessories > Communications > Remote Desktop Connection, and then follow the window prompts.

Browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer

The Motion LE1600TC Tablet Client is designed for optimum use in a thin client environment. The Tablet Client runs in a server-based computing environment, in which the server runs applications that are used by the Tablet Client. Data displayed by the Tablet Client is stored on the server network, providing secure backup of the data.

The thin client environment provides better security than typical desktop PCs because the thin clients are closed systems that do not allow software and hardware installations without authorized system administrator
