Introducing the Evo T20 and T1010 Terminals

Compaq Evo T20 and Compaq T1010 terminals use the Windows NT® Embedded
operating system to display windows rather than the classic text-based display.
These computers are designed to connect to Windows Terminal Server (WTS) and
Windows 2000 servers via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and Independent
Computing Architecture (ICA). RDP is the Microsoft presentation service protocol
for connecting to Windows terminal servers. ICA is the Citrix presentation service
protocol for Windows NT servers. Both allow an application’s user interface to
execute on a NT Embedded-based terminal while the application’s logic executes
on the server.

Using Your Sysytem

Logging On

The Auto Logon feature is enabled as a factory default. Use the Specify Logon
Information dialog box to:

• change the Default User Name

• change the Default Password

• enable or disable Auto Logon

The Specify Logon Information dialog may be accessed with the following
special key sequence: Tab, Home, End,

After completing this key sequence, the next dialog box to display will be the
Specify Logon Information dialog box. Make one of the following choices:

• As an Administrator, enter Administrator in both the User Name and
Password fields

• As a User, enter User in both the User Name and Password fields

The default for the Logon Information dialog box is User.

9

←, →.

Note

The passwords are case sensitive. The administrator’s
password is uppercase A followed by all lowercase
characters. The user’s password is uppercase U
followed by all lowercase characters.

Passwords can be changed using Ctrl+Alt+Del | Change Password.Forsecurity
purposes it is recommended that the administrator default password be changed.

Time Synchronization

The Dimension 4 time sync application automatically launches each time the
terminal is started. It searches pre-configured time servers in sequence until it
connects and sets the time on the terminal. The application then automatically
exits. If the application cannot connect with a time server within approximately 15
seconds it will time-out and close. The time on the terminal will not be accurate.

Joining A Domain

Note

If you are joining a domain you must have a unique
system ID (SID). All terminals are shipped from the
factory with identical SIDs. Therefore, before joining a
domain with your unit, change the SID.

Contact your System Administrator to have this done.

Note

System Administrators: If you do not already have the
appropriate utility to change the SID, contact your
software supplier.

Shutting Down

Shutting down the NT Embedded based T1010 Terminal varies slightly from
standard Microsoft Windows and Windows NT based equipment. To shut down,
Restart, or Logoff, simply click the Start button in the Task Bar and select the
appropriate action from the Start pop-up menu. (See the following figure).

About Dialog Box

Click About in the Start menu to display the About dialog box for general
information about the Compaq terminal.

Application Notes

Drive Z:

Drive Z: is onboard volatile memory (Ms-ramdrive) on the logic board of the
terminal. Because drive Z: is volatile memory, we recommend that you do not save
data that you want to keep on this drive.

Drive C: and Flash

Drive C: is onboard non-volatile Flash (memory) on the logic board of the terminal.
It is recommended that you do not write to drive C:. Writing to C: reduces the size of
the Flash. If the Flash size is reduced to 3 megabytes, the terminal becomes
unstable. If Flash size is reduced to 2 megabytes, the terminal’s image is
irreparably damaged.

16

Items that are written to Flash during normal operations are:

• Favorites

• Created connections

• Delete/edit connections

•History

Saving Files

Save files that you want to keep on a server rather than on your terminal.

Upgrading Firmware

There are three methods for upgrading the firmware:

TM

1. For remote upgrades use Rapport

2. For single local upgrades, use Image Upgrade. Use this method to upgrade
one terminal at a time. Invoke the function using Start | Programs | Image
Upgrade.TheImage Upgrade dialog box shown in Figure 10 displays.

Administrative Software.

a. Type the Shared Drive Path to the directory where the upgrade can be

found. (See Figure 10.)

b. Type the User Name.
c. Type the Password.
d. Type the Domain Name for which the user name and password you entered

in steps b and c are valid.

Figure 10 Image Upgrade Dialog Box

17

3. For local multiple upgrades, use the AT command. Use this method to

automatically upgrade several terminals in your local network. Invoke the
command line using Start | Programs | Command Prompt. The command line
displays. Enter the AT command and command parameters that are
appropriate. The complete syntax follows:

AT [\\computer name] [ [id] [/DELETE] | /DELETE [/YES]]

18

AT [\\computer name] time [/INTERACTIVE]
[/EVERY:date[,...] | /NEXT:date[,...]] “command”

Where:

\\computer name is the remote terminal.
id is an identification number assigned to a scheduled command.
/DELETE cancels a scheduled command.
/YES is used with the cancel all jobs command when no further confirmation is

required.
time /INTERACTIVE allows the job to interact with the desktop of the user

who is logged on at the time.

/EVERY:date[,...] runs the command on the specified day(s).
/NEXT:date[,...] runs the command on the next occurrence of the day.
“command” is a Windows NT command to run a batch program.

Example:

at 12:00 /every:m,t,w,th,f,sa,su upgrade.exe

Note

Time should be in 24-hour format (i.e., 0300, 2300).
Use these parameters in a batch program to
automatically upgrade terminals.

Mapping Network Drives

You can map network drives if you log on as an Administrator. You can not map
network drives if you log on as a User. The mappings are retained if the terminal is
rebooted.

Domain Participation

Write roaming profiles to Z:. The profiles need to be limited in size and will not be
retained if the terminal is rebooted.

Setting Keyboard Languages

Keyboard languages may be set only by an administrator. Setting the language
comprises two actions with several steps.

The first action is getting the region for the desired language to appear in the

Keyboard Properties dialog box (and for it to be retained after you close the box).

1. Click on Start | Settings | Control Panel.

2. Double-click on the Regional Settings icon.

3. Click on the Regional Settings tab.

4. Select the region appropriate to the keyboard language.

5. Click on the Input Locales tab.

6. Select the appropriate language from the list.

7. Click on the Set as Default button.

8. Click Apply.

9. Click OK.

The second action applies to changing to a language other than the one you just
selected in the steps above.

19

The following steps apply to regions that now appear in the Keyboard Properties
box:

1. Click Start | Settings | Control Panel.

2. In the Control Panel window, double-click Keyboard.TheKeyboard
Properties dialog box appears.

3. Click the Input Locales tab. The Language appears in the list. Use the

procedure outlined above to add regions to this list.

4. Select the desired language from the list.

5. Click Set as Default.

6. Click Apply.

7. Click OK.

Note

The terminal must be shut down and restarted for the
changes to take effect.

Remote Administrator Support

Microsoft Windows NT Embedded on windows-based terminals now supports
Remote Administrator software functions.

Remote Administrator software allows a system administrator to observe terminal
use (shadowing), accomplish software updates remotely, and perform other
administrative and maintenance activities without physically touching the client
terminal.

Shadowing

Shadowing must be enabled from the client terminal. It is used primarily for
troubleshooting purposes, allowing the system administrator to observe user
actions and the results of those actions. It is also possible for the shadower to take
control of the terminal.

Enabling Shadowing

Shadowing is enabled by starting the WinVNC client. WinVNC is only available
when logged in as a terminal administrator.

Shadowing may also be enabled remotely on the terminal using the Remote
Administrator Software.
