The C9010 thin client model has these points to pay attention to:
- it does not have a local desktop and it works in WBT/Kiosk Mode only;
- it works only with one connection at a time;
- only three types of connections are available to be created.
Remember that the configuration can be easily and automatically deployed on your thin clients using the Profile Manager feature of the ThinMan Server.
¶ WBT/Kiosk Mode
Unlike the other models, WBT/Kiosk is the only available mode as User Interface and the Connection Manager window is not shown at the thin client startup. This modality cannot be changed.
Remember that to open the Connections Manager window you have to press the <CTRL> + <ALT> + <END> keys on the keyboard.
Once the Connections Manager window is opened you can press the "F2" key to open the Control Panel. To provide the best customer experience and to avoid the thin client user to change a specific configuration we suggest to:
- protect the thin client with a password (see Security for more information);
- protect the thin client to avoid connection changes by unauthorized people (see Security for more information);
- edit the connection startup properties to enable the auto-login feature of the connection;
- edit the connection startup properties to enable the reconnect session feature of the connection.
In this way when the thin client is powered on the single connection is automatically started and the user is typically asked to insert its credential.
This modality does not allow to use a taskbar on the bottom of the desktop.
Eventually opened and minimized applications or virtual desktops can be resumed using the <CTRL> + <ALT> + <UP/DOWN ARROW> hotkeys on the keyboard. This will switch and change the focus to the opened applications/windows.
¶ Single connection
Only a single connection can be created and used on the thin client.
A connection can be created in the Initial Installation phase when the thin client is powered on for the first time.
You can also create or modify a connection from the Connections Manager. On the "Configuration" tab select the connection and click on "Edit" to modify the connection parameter.
To create a new connection first delete the previously created connection (use the "Delete..." button) and then click on "Add" to open the "New Connection" window.
¶ Available types of connections
Available connections are:
