Introduction
This chapter provides a brief overview of Thin Clients and lists the features of Winlinx.
Overview
Thin Clients are essentially terminal devices that connect to multi-user application servers operating under the
Citrix MetaFrame, Citrix WinFrame and Windows NT operating system. They communicate with the
application server via the ICA3 protocol developed by Citrix Systems Inc.
Winlinx is one of the smartest and most robust solutions available for Thin Client computing.
Winlinx is an aesthetically and ergonomically designed ultra-thin 'Bookend' desktop. It provides simultaneous
full screen connectivity to Windows NT and UNIX application servers – a powerful business alternative to
users migrating to Win32 applications while continuing access to legacy UNIX applications.
Winlinx is equipped with a 10/100Base-T Ethernet port that gives an instant connection to a multi-user
Windows NT application server. It also has serial, parallel and video display ports along with PS/2 compatible
keyboard and mouse ports, allowing quick setup and use.
The Winlinx family has three models:
•
Netica
•
Winlinx Pro
•
Winlinx Ultra Lite
