A. One option for Terminal Server clients is to use a"thin" client which has no disks but an embedded operating system andone such device is a Windows CE based client. The advantage is the machine haszero maintenance apart from the initial configuration. The instructions beloware for the Viewpoint series from http://www.boundless.com (many thanks forletting me have one to use).

When you first turn on the machine it will ask for certain details:

  1. The setup wizard will first display the product ID. Click Next

  2. Click Accept to the license agreement.

  3. You will be asked if you want to use DHCP or manual IP configuration. ClickNext.

  4. If you selected manual IP configuration you will need to enter an IPaddress, subnet mask and a gateway. Click Next

  5. Enter DNS and WINS details. Click Next

  6. Select the Desktop resolution and click Next

  7. Click Finsh to complete

You will have no start bar, just a dialog asking for a connection to bemade. You should configure sessions as you would a normal Terminal Serverclient by selecting the Configure tab.
