Introduction

The CE-based terminal offers greater user flexibility than previous CE products because it can be used from the Explorer shell (desktop), used strictly with the HP Connection Administrator, or further locked down into Kiosk mode.
This guide provides the network administrator with instructions for local and remote configuration of the CE-based terminal and explains the various utilities used to accomplish this. Typically, a terminal is configured locally then used as a template for other terminals, which can then be configured via remote administration tools.
Server and application connections can be created through the HP Connection Window or the HP Connection Administrator. A connection created with one utility will also be available for editing and configuring in the other utility. Although you can create and edit connections with either utility, only HP Connection Administrator provides the functionality to create connections and set up user profiles. HP Connection Administrator is also used to determine the start mode and user interface for the terminal.
Chapters in this guide are specific to the desktop interface, the HP Connection Window utility, the HP Connection Administrator utility, and all the programs in the Control Panel.

The Desktop

The Microsoft Windows CE image includes an Explorer shell (desktop) that resembles the typical Windows desktop features that should be familiar to most users of desktop computers. The desktop includes a taskbar, start menu, shortcut icons, and a background image.
The desktop has the typical desktop functionality. To change the display settings, right-click on the desktop and select Properties from the pop-up list. This brings up the Display Properties dialog where you can make changes to the background, appearance, resolution and color quality settings, and screen saver.
Administrator’s Guide www.hp.com 2-1
The Desktop

Taskbar

Start Menu

You can change the background image to one of your own
preference, but the image must be a .bmp format.
If you change the screen resolution setting, you must reboot for the change to take effect. If you do not know if the screen resolution mode you selected is supported by your monitor, click the Tes t button on the Display Properties Settings tab.
The taskbar includes a Start button, active task buttons (currently running programs), and a notification area (system tray).
By default, the taskbar is automatically hidden. You must move the pointer to the bottom of the screen to bring up the taskbar. If you want to change it so that the taskbar is always displayed, right-click on the taskbar, select Properties, and clear the Auto hide check box.
Open the Start menu by clicking the Start button on the taskbar. The Start menu includes a Programs list, a Settings list, a Run dialog, and a Shut Down dialog.

Icons

The icons on the desktop are shortcuts to programs that include HP Connections for Citrix Software, Internet Explorer, and RDP. You can also add icons for shortcuts to connections that have been created by right-clicking on the connection icon in the HP Connection Window utility and selecting Send to Desktop.
To launch a program or connection from the desktop, double-click the respective icon.
Due to Windows CE architecture, properties for the programs on the
desktop can not be changed from the desktop. In other words, if you right-click on a desktop icon and select Properties, the property values for that program can not be changed. Only property values for the shortcut can be changed.

HP Connection Administrator

The HP Connection Administrator allows you to manage server and application connections by setting up ICA Connections, assigning the connections to Connections, and creating Profiles made up of users and their assigned Connections.
Connections can also be established through the HP Connections for
Citrix Software. If a Connection is created in HP Connections for Citrix Software, it will also appear in HP Connection Administrator. Likewise, if a Connection is created in HP Connection Administrator, it will also appear in HP Connections for Citrix Software.

Accessing HP Connection Administrator

HP Connection Administrator can be accessed through the Start menu (Start > Programs > HP Connection Administrator).

Adding, Editing, and Deleting Connections in HP Connection Administrator Window

You can add, edit, or delete connections in the HP Connection Administrator window or in the Advanced window.

2. In the Choose type dialog box, select the type of connection you want to create and click the OK button. A Wizard or setup dialog for the connection type is displayed.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions in the Wizard or setup dialog to add the connection to the user's connections list and to the list of available connections that can be assigned to other users in the Advanced window.
4. To edit the connection, select the connection and click the Edit button. Make the appropriate changes in the Wizard or setup dialog.
5. To delete the connection, select the connection and click the Delete button. The connection is deleted from all user connection lists, not just the user currently logged on to the terminal.
