1 Introduction Wyse® thin clients running Microsoft® Windows® XP Embedded provide access to applications, files, and network resources made available on machines hosting Citrix™ ICA and Microsoft™ RDP session services. The thin clients contain a full featured Internet Explorer browser and thin client emulation software, Ericom – PowerTerm® TEC. Other locally installed software permits remote administration of the thin clients and provides local maintenance functions.
2 Chapter 1 Chapter 4, "Getting to Know the Extended Features," contains information on the extended features of Wyse thin clients running Microsoft Windows XP Embedded that are not found in standard Windows XP. Chapter 5, "Administrative Utilities and Settings," provides general information about the utilities and settings available for administrative use.
2 Establishing a Server Environment This chapter contains information on the network architecture and enterprise server environment needed to provide network and session services for Wyse thin clients running Microsoft Windows XP Embedded. It also includes information to help you address important considerations when configuring access to the server environment and when configuring the services to be provided by the server environment.
4 Chapter 2 • PPTP VPN - PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) is a network protocol that enables the secure transfer of data between a remote client (in this case the thin client) and an enterprise server environment by creating a virtual private network (VPN) across TCP/IP-based data networks such as the Internet. It provides a password-protected path through the enterprise firewall to the enterprise server environment in which the network and session services required by thin clients reside.
5 Establishing a Server Environment Table 1 DHCP Options Option Description Notes 1 Subnet Mask Required. 3 Router Optional but recommended. It is not required unless the thin client must interact with servers on a different subnet. 6 Domain Name Server (DNS) Optional but recommended. 12 Hostname Optional. 15 Domain Name Optional but recommended. 43 Vendor Class Specific Information Optional. 50 Requested IP Required. 51 Lease Time Required. 52 Option Overload Optional.
6 Chapter 2 Table 1 DHCP Options, Continued Option Description Notes 161 FTP server list Optional string. Can be either the name or the IP address of the FTP server where the updated thin client image is stored. If a name is given, the name must be resolvable by the DNS server(s) specified in Option 6. 162 Root path to the FTP files Optional string. 163 SNMP Trap server IP Address list Optional. 164 SNMP Set Community Optional. 165 RDP startup published applications Optional.
Establishing a Server Environment 7 Using DNS Thin clients accept valid DNS names registered on a DNS server available to the enterprise intranet. The thin client will query a DNS server on the network for name to IP resolution. In most cases DNS is not required but may be used to allow hosts to be accessed by their registered DNS names rather than their IP addresses. Every Windows DNS server in Windows 2000 and later includes Dynamic DNS (DDNS) and every server registers dynamically with the DNS server.

On the Edit menu, click Modify.
44 Chapter 5 Running File Based Write Filter Command Line Options There are several command lines you can use to control the File Based Write Filter (command line arguments cannot be combined). Caution Administrators should use NT file security to prevent undesired usage of these commands.
Administrative Utilities and Settings 45 Enabling and Disabling the File Based Write Filter Using the Desktop Icons For convenience, the File Based Write Filter Enable and Disable icons are present on the Administrator desktop. Use these icons to enable or disable the File Based Write Filter. • File Based Write Filter Enable Icon - Double-clicking this icon enables the File Based Write Filter.
46 Chapter 5 • • RAM used by FBWF - Shows the amount of RAM used (in Kilobytes and Percentage) that is currently being used by the File Based Write Filter. If Current Status is Disabled, RAM Used by FBWF is always zero (0). • Enable FBWF - Allows you to enable the File Based Write Filter and prompts you to restart the thin client. If you do not restart the thin client, the changes made will not be saved until the thin client is restarted.
Administrative Utilities and Settings 47 Understanding the NetXClean Utility NetXClean keeps extraneous information from being stored in flash memory. NetXClean is a service that runs in the background. NetXClean clean-up is triggered by either a service startup or a user log-off. It performs the clean-up invisibly and no user input is necessary.
48 Chapter 5 Saving Files and Using Local Drives Administrators need to know the following information about local drives and saving files. Saving Files Thin clients use an embedded operating system with a fixed amount of flash memory. It is recommended that you save files you want to keep on a server rather than on a thin client.
Administrative Utilities and Settings 49 Mapping Network Drives Users and administrators can map network drives. However, to retain the mappings after the thin client is restarted, you must complete the following: • Select the Reconnect at logon check box. • Flush the files of the File Based Write Filter cache during the current system session.
50 Chapter 5 Using Roaming Profiles You can participate in domains by writing roaming profiles to the C drive. The profiles must be limited in size and will not be retained when the thin client is restarted. Note For successful downloading and proper functioning, there must be sufficient flash space available for roaming profiles. In some cases it may be necessary to remove software components to free space for roaming profiles.
Administrative Utilities and Settings 51 Managing Users and Groups with User Manager The User Manager allows administrators to create new user accounts and configure user profiles. It also allows administrators to create new groups and determine group membership. By default, a new user is only a member of the Users group and is not locked down. As the Administrator, you must select the attributes and profile settings for a new user. Caution By default, all application settings are set to cache to C drive.
52 Chapter 5 Configuring User Profiles Only administrators can select the profile settings for a user. Caution Because of the limited size of the flash memory, it is strongly recommended that other applications available to new and existing users be configured to prevent writing to the local file system. For the same reason, it is also recommended that extreme care be exercised when changing configuration settings of the factory-installed applications.
Administrative Utilities and Settings 53 Determining Group Membership Use the following guidelines (example of adding a user to the Administrator group): Caution Be sure to flush the files of the File Based Write Filter cache during the current system session in which an account is modified. 1. Log-in as an administrator and open the User Manager (Start | Control Panel | Administrative Tools | User Manager). 2.
