To make a new connection, double-click the Make New Connection
icon, select the type of connection you want to make, and then
configure the connection.
Choose from the following connection types:
■ Dial-up connection
■ Direct connection
■ VPN (PPTP)
■ VPN (L2TP)
■ Ethernet (PPPoE)
Dial-up connection
You can use a dial-up modem with the thin client to access a dial-up
server. This method provides two ways to access the enterprise
intranet:
■ An enterprise dial-up server connects directly to the enterprise
intranet.
■ An Internet Service Provider (ISP) dial-up server provides access
to the Internet, from which the thin client must access an
enterprise Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) Virtual
Private Network (VPN) server that connects to the enterprise
intranet.
✎
The dial-up server must be a Microsoft Remote Access Server or
another server that supports industry-standard protocols.
Direct connection
This type of connection allows you to connect directly to another
computer through the serial port on the terminal.
✎
This option is available only to thin clients with serial ports.
