Support ServersRapport 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).
