Tarantella client
eLux NG can be installed on a flash card (for use in Thin Clients) or a hard disk, turning your
PC into a multifunctional terminal!
eLux NG is a Linux-based embedded operating system. However, neither the end user nor
the administrator needs Linux knowledge to use or configure the software. The interface is
user-friendly, and can be operated using the mouse or keyboard. Additionally, the QT interface
has been streamlined to insure the maximum amount of space for client applications and to
reduce initialization time upon start.

Updating Firmware
Updating the firmware on your terminal is fast and easy using the “container method.” All
required software is provided in the so-called “containers,” which are available on the eLux NG
CD or for download on the Internet. The software to be installed on the device is determined
by the image definition file (IDF). The IDF is edited using the program eLux NG Image
Administration Service Next Generation (ELIAS NG), which is available to owners of
eLux NG at no additional charge and allows the administrator to customize the software
installed on the device to exactly satisfy end-user requirements. The use of ELIAS NG is not
discussed in this manual. Please consult the Scout Enterprise Administrator’s Guide for more
information.
Management Tool
eLux NG can be 100% managed from a central location, again without any Linux know-how,
using the management tool Scout Next Generation (“Scout Enterprise”). This application is
installed on a PC and must be purchased separately. Please consult the Scout Enterprise
Administrator’s Guide for information on how to install and use ELIAS NG and Scout
Enterprise.
Compatibility
eLux NG version 1.20 should be used with Scout Enterprise version 5.5.12 (and later) and
ELIAS NG version 5.2.4 (and later).
