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. Additional Addons are available that support a wide range of
specialty peripherals and features for environments needing a secure Windows user
interface with 32-bit Windows compatibility.
Session and network services available on enterprise networks may be accessed through
a direct intranet connection, a dial-up server, or an ISP which provides access to the
Internet and thus permits the thin client to connect to an enterprise virtual private network
(VPN) server.
About this Guide
This guide is intended for administrators of Wyse thin clients running Microsoft Windows
XP Embedded. It provides information and detailed system configurations to help
administrators design and manage a Wyse thin client environment. Depending on your
hardware and software configurations, the figures you see may be different than the
example figures shown in this guide.
This guide supplements the standard Windows XP and Windows XP Embedded
documentation supplied by Microsoft Corporation. It explains the differences,
enhancements, and additional features provided by Wyse with the thin client. It does not
attempt to describe the standard features found in Windows XP and Windows XP
Embedded.
