Connecting to Network and Session Services

Use the Network Manager icon, located on the right side of the Menu bar, to display information about the status of your network connection and to connect or disconnect.

Use the following guidelines:

Click the Network Manager icon to display the Wired Network and Wireless Network menus. For example you can click the Network Manager icon, and then select an available wired or wireless network to use.

Right-click the Network Manager icon to display the Enable Networking, Enable Wireless, Enable Notifications, Connection Information, and About options. For example, you can right-click the Network Manager icon, and then click Enable Wireless to remove the check and disable wireless.

Hover your mouse pointer over the icon to view a message displaying the status (No Network Connection, Wired Network Connection Active, and Wireless Network Connection Active) and name of the network to which your thin client is connected. For example, connecting your thin client to a wired network (by attaching the network cable to your thin client) displays the Wired Network Connection Active status.

For wireless connections (802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN), you can click the Wireless Network Connection icon (or click the Network Manager icon) in the menu bar to see if a wireless network connection is available. You can click an available wireless network connection to open and use the Wireless Network Authentication dialog box. After authentication, the wireless network is available for use.

TIP: For information on importing certificates that your network may require (according to your administrator), see "Import Certificates."

Connecting to a Printer

To connect a printer to your thin client through a USB port, you will need a USB-to-printer adapter cable (not included). Before use, you may need to install the driver for the printer by following the printer driver installation instructions. For information on connecting to printers, refer to "Printers."

Connecting to a Monitor

Monitor connections can be made using the DVI (digital) monitor port and the proper Wyse monitor cables/splitters. For VGA (analog) monitor connections, you must use the included DVI-to-VGA adapter. For information on configuring display settings, see "Display."

TIP: Dual Monitors - When using a DVI to DVI/VGA splitter with VGA and DVI monitors at the same time, note that the VGA monitor will be the primary monitor.
