Rapport Remote Administration

The Wyse Rapport Administrative Software must be installed on a Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 Server or workstation capable of logging on as administrator to a domain that provides specified network services, and which can access a software repository for your terminal. Refer to the Rapport documentation for instructions for installing Rapport and configuring the server environment. The Rapport Administrative Software accesses your terminal through the factory-installed Rapport Agent and Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) client utilities. PXE upgrade services and Virtual Network Computing (VNC) Viewer (see below) are built-in to Rapport.

Rapport for Workgroups is suitable for managing up to 250 client terminals. It is provided with the terminal without charge.

Rapport Enterprise Edition is designed to manage larger numbers (greater than 250) of client terminals. For information about obtaining or upgrading to Rapport Enterprise Edition contact Wyse Sales or Service (see “Ordering Information” in the front matter of this document).
