2X ThinClientServer features
Thin client vendor independent
Use thin clients from different vendors, old/existing
computers, or new low cost computers - and manage all these
thin clients through one consistent and open interface. Rather
than having to commit to one particular thin client vendor from
whom to buy all your hardware, you get the freedom to
choose and the possibility to re-use your existing computer
hardware.
Web-based management interface
Thin client devices and users’ connection settings can be
managed centrally via the web management interface. It
shows currently active thin clients and user sessions,
generates reports, and includes a centralized database of thin
client events, for easy troubleshooting.
Easy updates of thin client operating system & software
Updates to 2X ThinClientOS are easily deployed: Just
download the latest version from the 2X website and copy it to
the Thin Client Server: Thin clients booting from PXE will use
the new OS at next boot-up. Thin clients booting from the
hard disk or USB disk can be remotely updated via the web-
based interface.
Manage user’s connection settings centrally
Centrally configure user’s connection settings such as
terminal server name, type (RDP, Citrix ICA or NX), screen
resolution and more. There is no need to push out these
connection settings to the thin client devices, since they are
retrieved when the user logs on.
Supports local media, sound, and printers
Locally connected printers or storage devices are supported
seamlessly. Printers will show up in the list of printers on the
users’ desktop, and local media will appear in Windows
Explorer just like other media. Thin clients will forward sound
from the Terminal Server.
