3 Setting Up the Thin Client

This chapter contains information to help you set up your thin client using the System Setup submenu.

Since the setup information for individual users (user profile) is stored in a remote database, very little setup is required of a thin client operator. Your user profile is loaded into the thin client when you log-on. For this reason, you can log-on to another thin client (under the same account name) and see the same user profile settings.

A few setup items are reserved for local selection (not available to Non-privileged users). They are available locally because they are user preference items or pertain to the thin client hardware rather than the person using the thin client. Additional local settings may be required if some of the network services are not available. Generally, the defaults and initial setup configurations are adequate and any changes should be made under guidance of the network administrator.

To access the local setup menus (System Settings submenu), click the User Name button (located at the bottom-left side of the taskbar), and select System Setup.

The System Setup submenu provides access to local system setup dialog boxes for:

“Setting System Preferences”

“Configuring Network Settings”

“Setting Up Wireless Access”

“Selecting Display Settings”

“Configuring Serial Communications”

“Setting Up Printers”

“Configuring Touch Screens”
