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.

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.

Administrator’s Guide www.hp.com 5-15

Control Panel

Dial-Up Connection

A serial dial-up modem can be used with the thin client to access a
dial-up server. With this method there are two ways to access the
enterprise intranet:

■ An enterprise dial-up server will connect directly to the enterprise

intranet.

■ An Internet Service Provider (ISP) dial-up server provides access

to the Internet, from which the thin client must access an
enterprise Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) Virtual
Private Network (VPN) server that connects to the enterprise
intranet.

The dial-up server must be a Microsoft Remote Access Server or

✎

another server that supports industry-standard protocols.

Direct Connection

This type of connection is used to connect directly to another
computer through the serial port on the terminal.

This option is only available to thin clients with serial ports.

✎

Virtual Private Network (PPTP) Connection

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that
enables the secure transfer of data between a remote client (in this
case the thin client) and an enterprise server environment by creating
a VPN across TCP/IP-based data networks such as the Internet. It
provides a password-protected path through the enterprise firewall to
the enterprise server environment in which the network and session
services required by the thin client reside.

An ISP must be available to provide access to the Internet. Any of the
standard means of connecting to the ISP may be used, such as a
dial-up modem, cable modem, and DSL modem.

5-16 www.hp.com Administrator’s Guide

Control Panel

The connection to the ISP must be established first, before contacting
the enterprise PPTP VPN server. This includes dial-up access as well
as direct access through the cable modem and DSL modem paths.

Virtual Private Network (L2TP) Connection

Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) merges Microsoft’s PPTP
protocol with Cisco’s Layer Two Forwarding (L2F) protocol. L2TP is
basically the same as PPTP; the primary difference is that L2TP
supports encryption.

PPP Over Ethernet (PPPoE) Connection

This is a connection from the thin client Ethernet port directly to the
enterprise intranet. No additional hardware is required.

In this configuration all network services may be used, including the
enterprise DHCP server. A DHCP server on the network may provide
not only the terminal’s IP address, but also the location of the file
server containing the software updates.

Port Lock

The Port Lock dialog box allows you to enable or disable COM 1 and
LPT ports.

Open the Port Lock dialog box by double-clicking the Port Lock icon
in the Control Panel.

HP Registry Import/Export Tool

Microsoft Windows CE HP Image versions 4.21 and later include the
Registry Import/Export tool, an HP engineered software technology
that makes it significantly easier and more cost efficient for IT
professionals to manage HP thin clients. Registry Import/Export
allows thin client devices to inherent properties of other thin client
devices.

CAUTION: The HP Registry Import/Export Tool requires extensive

Ä

knowledge of Altiris Deployment Server.

Currently, Registry Import/Export between the HP Compaq t5510

✎

thin client and the HP Compaq t53x0 and t5500 thin clients is not
supported.

Your source and target machine must have the same image with the

✎

same quantity of software add-ons. These software add-ons must be
of the same revision. The Registry Import/Export Tool cannot
upgrade or downgrade application versions..

Extracting the settings of one device and re-deploying the same
settings to other devices reduces network congestion. Registry
settings can be 100 to 10,000 times smaller than the entire image.

NOTE: The Import/Export process may take approximately two
minutes to complete.

Clearing the Destination Registry

Before importing a new registry to a thin client, you must make sure
that the destination machine has a clear registry. To clear the registry,
drag and drop CE_RegReset from the Job window to the

Destination Computer.

NOTE: This process will take two to three minutes to complete.

Administrator’s Guide www.hp.com 6-3

Programs and Add-ons

Exporting and Importing a Registry

To export a registry, perform the following steps:

1. Open the Deployment Server Console.

2. Select CE_RegExport from the Job window and drag and drop
the Job to the source unit under the Computers window. This will
copy the source computer's registry and prepare it to be imported.

3. Select CE_RegImport from the Job window and drag and drop
the job to the destination computer under the Computers window.
This will import the settings from the source computer to the
destination computer.

NOTE: This process will take two to three minutes to complete.

Importing a Registry to Multiple Units

A single registry can be imported to multiple units. To import a
registry to multiple units, perform the following steps:

1. Select CE_RegExport from the Job window and drag and drop
the Job to the source unit under the Computers window. This will
copy the source computer's registry and prepare it to be imported.

2. Select CE_RegImport from the Job window and drag and drop
the job to "All Computers" under the Computers window. This
will import the settings from the source computer to the entire
network.

Exporting Registries from Multiple Units

While it is possible to export registries from multiple thin clients, it is
important to ensure the registry files have different names. The export
process uses a time stamp and saves the time stamp as part of the
name for the saved file (for example, 051304840.reg, which is May
30, 2004 at 8:40). If you export multiple units at the same time, the
registry file names will be identical. It is recommended that you
capture each registry a minute apart in order to create distinct file
names for each registry.

RDP 5.5

RDP 5.5 replaces RDP 5.1, and provides the following functionality:

■ Unicode compatibility, which enables you to send Unicode

values of characters as virtual key codes to the keyboard input.

■ RDP supports operation in any environment that allows network

localization, automatic disconnect and remote configuration.

■ Variable bandwidth allocation through client-side bitmap caching

and optional compression for low-bandwidth connections,
significantly improving performance over low-bandwidth
connections.

■ Multichannel-capable protocol that permits separate virtual

channels for carrying presentation data, serial-device
communication, licensing information, and heavily encrypted
data.

■ Remote control which lets the support staff view and control a

Terminal Services session. Sharing input and display graphics
between two Terminal Services sessions lets support staff
diagnose and resolve problems remotely.

■ Network Load Balancing (NLB), available in Windows 2000

Advanced Server and Datacenter Server.

■ High color 8-bit, 16-bit, and 24-bit graphics are supported if they

are also supported in the graphics driver.

■ Clipboard sharing, also known as clipboard redirection. The local

clipboard becomes a part of the clipboard viewer chain in the
remote session, allowing the user to copy and paste between
applications running in both the remote session and on the local
client.

■ Local-printer redirection so server applications can print locally

to the client device.

■ Local audio playback so server applications can direct audio to

the client device or play at the Terminal Server.

■ Local-port redirection so server applications can use parallel and

COM ports of the client device.

■ Local drive redirection so server applications can use the file

system (including ATA) of the client device.

Administrator’s Guide www.hp.com 6-5

Programs and Add-ons

■ File redirection filter that permits exposing only specific

directories. If you specify that only external storage, such as
Compact Flash or USB storage, be exposed through the
redirected drive, information is saved only to the redirected drive.

■ TS CAL maintenance tool. This control panel utility is available

in any OS design that supports Control Panel programs, such as
the Enterprise Web Pad. It requires that RDP client be in the
run-time image.

RDP now runs in Graphics, Windowing, and Events Subsystem
(GWES) rather than in its own process space. This provides faster
display updates by reducing the protected server library (PSL) and
kernel overhead. RDP running in GWES can improve performance
up to 30%.

NOTE: If you configured RDP to run in GWES, you cannot run RDP
inside a Web browser. Optionally, you can configure RDP to run in
Microsoft ActiveX Control.

RDP can run in windowed mode, allowing you to have two
simultaneous RDP sessions visible at the same time.
