Using the Connect Manager
Clicking the Connect Manager button on the task bar opens the Connect Manager. The
Connect Manager has a list of connection entries and a set of command buttons available
for use with the connections.

The command buttons available depend on the privileges of the user and administrator
configuration; the following default examples are typical:
• High-privileged user - Includes Connect, New, Settings, and Sign-off.
• Low-privileged user - Includes Connect, Settings, and Sign-off.
• Guest user - Includes Connect, New, Settings, and Sign-off.
• Stand-alone user - Includes Connect, New, Settings, and Delete.
Note
If set by the administrator (enablelocal=yes in the user.ini/wnos.ini file),
High-privileged, Guest, and Low-privileged users will have the Delete
command button available instead of the Sign-off command button).
The use associated with these command buttons also depends on user privilege. For
example, Settings allows a High-privileged user to view and edit connection definitions,
while it allows a Low-privileged user to only view connection definitions.
Note
Guest user privileges are determined by the administrator.
The Connect Manager command buttons include:
• Connect - To make a connection, select a connection from the list and click Connect.
• New - Clicking New opens the Connection Settings dialog box either directly or

added to the connection list. Be aware of the following information:
• High-privileged and Guest user - Typically, all locally-defined connection
definitions are temporary and are lost when the user logs off and when the thin
client restarts or is shut down. However, if configured by the administrator
