Start-Up Options

This section describes the steps to take to start a session with a server using the NCD ThinSTAR 300. How to start the terminal, the most common initial panel displays, and how to create a connection are explained.

Two Power Modes

Your NCD ThinSTAR 300 terminal has a power switch in the back, and an on/off button in the front. When the power switch is on, you can turn off the terminal by pressing the on/off button in the front. To re-start your terminal, simply press the button on the front of the terminal again.

Use the on/off button for daily powering down and up of the terminal. The power switch in back need be used only for installing new hardware or other system administration procedures.

Initial Start-Up

For initial start-up, switch the power on in the back of the terminal and turn on the monitor. The NCD ThinSTAR 300 and Microsoft Powered by Windows CE logos display, a chime sounds, and the screen brieﬂy goes blank. What happens next depends on how your terminal is conﬁgured.

The terminal displays one of the panels shown on the next page. The most common initial display panels are shown. If your display differs, see Chapter 3 or your system administrator.
