3 Installing and Removing the
Add-ons
This section provides detailed procedures on installing and removing the Add-ons for the
Winterm™ 3 series Thin Client using the following options:
• “Installing an Add-on Using Rapport Administrative Software” on page 5
• “Installing an Add-on Using FTP Pull” on page 8
• “Removing an Add-on Locally” on page 9

Caution
Use only the methods outlined in this guide. There are two file transfer
procedures that, if used to attempt to load Add-ons, could overwrite flash
memory and render the thin client inoperable. They are: xfer (parallel
download using a LapLink
cable) and pccard (PCMCIA flash card).
Installing an Add-on Using Rapport Administrative Software
Rapport Administrative Software™ is a full-featured remote administration tool available
from Wyse Technology. It provides the ability to install additional applications on one or
more thin clients by dragging and dropping the software into a repository from which it can
be distributed to selected thin clients. In most cases it is the best means of installing
Add-ons.
Note
This procedure assumes that Rapport software has already been configured
for operation in your network environment. For information about obtaining
the software contact your Wyse sales representative. For specific information
on using the software and creating scripts, consult the Rapport
documentation. Although Rapport versions 4.0 and later are supported,
Rapport version 4.4.1 is recommended.
