Overview

Introduction

1.1 Introduction

Windows® MultiPoint® Server 2012 is a new shared resource technology. This Windows-based operating system
enables a host server to power multiple and independent stations, allowing users to share the computing power
of one single server. With the same budget, this shared resource mode provides more people with access to
computing than the traditional single-user mode.

Based on Windows® MultiPoint® Server 2012, Atrust oers an integrated system solution incorporating both the
server and station sides. Your Atrust m320 zero clients (multifunction station hubs) are used to deploy stations and
support the LAN-based connection method to the host server.

1.2 Features

Atrust solution enables educators to:

• Drastically reduce the total cost of ownership

• Allocate more money to other resources for learning

3

• Provide a familiar and independent Windows experience

• Multiply computing access for students

• Easily set up, manage, and maintain the whole system

This shared resource solution is also perfectly suited for small businesses who are looking for:

• Cost-eective and exible IT solution that can easily expand when business grows

• Manageable IT solution without a lot of manpower

• Secure, reliable and stable solution

• Stable-enhanced system with ECC (Error Checking and Correcting) memory support

• Familiar Microsoft Windows operating environment

• Windows-compatible solution for business and productivity software

Key features at a glance:

• Broad support for diverse connection methods – USB-based (m300 / m302), LAN-based (m320), and
RDP-based (t-series thin clients) stations

• Manage multiple MultiPoint® Sever systems on a single computer

• Arrange stations for a specic purpose, like public access to library service, using the auto-logon feature

• Add a new station by sharing an existing station monitor with the split screen feature

• Monitor and control station usage with the session monitoring, web limiting,

and application launching/closing features

• Share any session across all stations by the session broadcast feature

• Orchestrate activities and draw attention in class with the help of the station blocking

and message display features

4.4 Serving Orphaned LAN Stations

You can designate a computer running Windows MultiPoint Server 2012 as a redundant host for m320-based
LAN stations. Once their host fails, this redundant host will take over all orphaned stations.

NOTE

• Only LAN stations (m320-based) can be taken over by the redundant host;
USB stations (m300 / m302-based) cannot.

• You must install the drivers and utility of LAN stations for a redundant host.
For detailed instructions, please refer to section “3.2 Installing Drivers and the Utility”
on page 19.

• Once their host recovers, LAN stations will be taken over again automatically.
Users will be disconnected from their sessions if any on the redundant host.

To designate a redundant host for LAN stations, please do the following:

1. Log in to the planned redundant host with an administrative account, launch MultiPoint Manager, and then
click LAN Stations tab.

Adjusting Network Settings for a LAN Station

4.7 Adjusting Network Settings for a LAN Station

For your LAN station to be managed by a host server and ready for use, an IP address assigned to the station is
required. Normally, your Atrust m320 will perform network environment detection and choose an appropriate
IP address automatically. In case that you need to adjust the network conguration for your m320, refer to the
table below as guidelines on manual adjustment. Depending on dierent physical connections (see “2.2 Getting
Connected” on page 13), you need to select dierent methods to assign the IP address.

Two Methods for Assigning an IP Address to a LAN Station
