1 Introduction

This guide provides the network administrator with instructions for configuring the thin client and explains the various configuration utilities.

The HP ThinPro operating system reinvents UI simplicity with a single console interface for dashboard access to all user and administrative touch points. A default Connection Manager view integrates traditional connection types with the latest VDI broker connections with shared access to settings. Administrators are only one click away from the Easy Config setup wizard, Control Panel and System Information layers.

Connectivity support may include access to Windows

, Citrix, mainframes, mid-range servers, Unix/ Linux backends, web hosts as well as various VDI brokers such as Citrix XenDesktop, VMware View, Quest vWorkspace, LeoStream and HP SAM (Session Allocation Manager).

NOTE: Host access support may vary between different HP thin client models using the HP ThinPro

operating system.

HP ThinPro interface is displayed by default when you turn on the thin client. The desktop includes a taskbar that provides access to open applications, a volume icon, and a clock. Click on ThinPro Control Center in the left side of the taskbar to open and close the ThinPro interface.

Using HP ThinPro

HP ThinPro allows you to launch and manage host and remote application connections by creating an ICA, XenApp, RDP, HP TeemTalk, Leostream, vWorkspace, VMware View, X Windows, or Iceweasel connection. When logged in as Administrator, you can define which connections and connection types are visible when in User mode. The Administrator can further restrict Users from deleting connections or creating new ones.

NOTE: You must log in with administrator permissions to access all components of the HP ThinPro

window. If you are in User Mode, when you position your cursor over the ThinPro Control Center in the bottom left of the screen, a message describes this as ThinPro Control Center. If you are in Administrative Mode, when you position your cursor over the ThinPro Control Center in the bottom left of the screen, a message describes this as the ThinPro Control Center (Administrative Mode).

HP ThinPro opens by default in the User Mode. To switch to the Administrative Mode:

1. Open the ThinPro Control Center Menu and select Administrator/User Mode Switch.

You can open the ThinPro Control Center Menu in any of the following ways:

●

Click the HP logo in the bottom left of the screen.

●

Position your cursor in the screen background and right-click.

NOTE: Alternatively, you can press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S, select Switch to Admin Mode, and click

OK.

5. The factory default password is root. HP strongly recommends that a new password be set. As

you type the password, the score rates the strength or weakness of the password. Characteristics of a strong password include the following:

●

A password must contain a minimum of 6 to a maximum of 16 characters.

●

A password must contain a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters.

●

At least one of the first six characters in a password must be a number, a special character, or an uppercase letter.

●

HP recommends that you use a combination of numbers and special characters in a password such as the dollar sign ( $ ), the percent sign ( % ), the number sign ( # ), the period ( . ), the hyphen ( - ), the underscore ( _ ), or the at sign ( @ ). If you do not use a special character or number in the password, at least one of the first six characters should be an uppercase letter or a number.

Client Aggregation

NOTE: This feature is neither present nor supported on the HP ThinPro image for the HP t5325 thin

client.

The thin client supports up to four monitors. If you need additional screen real estate, Client Aggregation allows up to four thin clients to be combined together, controlled by a single keyboard and mouse. Because each thin client supports up to four monitors, Client Aggregation allows up to four computers and 16 monitors to be controlled by a single keyboard and mouse, without the need for additional hardware or software.

76 Chapter 2 Installation ENWW

Page 85

Client Aggregation Overview

Assume that you have four thin clients, each with 4 monitors. Using the Display Preferences dialog, the thin clients and their monitors are configured as shown—each thin client is configured with a 2x2 array of monitors.

Client Aggregation allows you to arrange the four thin clients on a 4x4 grid. The following illustration shows one possible arrangement of the thin clients arranged in a rectangular array using the 4x4 grid. In moving the mouse pointer off the right side of the thin client A monitors, for example, the pointer will appear on the left side of the thin client C monitors. Likewise, keyboard input will be redirected from thin client A to thin client C.

Following is another arrangement of the thin clients on the 4x4 grid, and the resulting arrangement of the monitors.

ENWW Control Panel 77

Page 86

In this configuration, moving the mouse pointer off the right side of the thin client A monitors will cause it to appear on the upper 1/3 of the left side of the thin client D monitors. Similarly, moving the mouse pointer off the right side of the thin client B monitors will cause it to appear in the middle 1/3 of the left side of the thin client D monitors. Finally, moving the mouse pointer off the right side of the thin client C monitors will cause it to appear in the lower 1/3 of the left side of the thin client D monitors.

NOTE: Desktop windows cannot span the thin clients, or be moved between client computers.

Typically, each thin client will create windows based on its connection to an associated remote computer, and there won’t be a need to move windows between thin clients.

The thin client physically connected to the keyboard and mouse is referred to as the Aggregation Server. The other thin clients are referred to as Aggregation Clients. When the mouse pointer is on one of the Aggregation Clients, the mouse and keyboard inputs (from the Aggregation Server thin client) are encrypted, and sent over the network to the selected Aggregation Client. The Aggregation Client decrypts the mouse and keyboard inputs, and passes the inputs to the local desktop of the Aggregation Client.

Client Aggregation is based on an open source software package called Synergy, with encryption provided by a package called stunnel.

NOTE: Because the Synergy and stunnel software is also installed on the HP dc72 Blade Workstation

Client and the HP dc73 Blade Workstation Client (running Embedded OS versions 9.xx and 10.xx), these client computers can be interconnected to the HP gt7725 thin client in Client Aggregation configurations.

Configuring Client Aggregation

NOTE: Client Aggregation must be configured individually on each thin client—on the Aggregation

Server and on each Aggregation Client.

Client Aggregation configuration is a two-step process:

Configuring the Aggregation Clients on page 79—From one to three Aggregation Clients can be

configured.

3. The Aggregation Server thin client is displayed in a purple box that contains its hostname. Click

and drag the Aggregation Server to the desired location in the 4x4 grid. In the following figure, the Aggregation Server thin client is positioned in the first row, second column of the 4x4 grid.

ENWW Control Panel 81

Page 90

4. Click the location in the 4x4 grid where you want to place the first Aggregation Client, and enter its

hostname or IP address. In the following illustration, the Aggregation Client at IP address

16.125.19.91 is positioned in the first row, first column of the 4x4 grid. Press Enter when done— Aggregation Clients are displayed in green boxes.

5. In this same manner, position up to two additional Aggregation Clients in the 4x4 grid, for a total

of up to three Aggregation Clients.

Placement of the Aggregation Server and the Aggregation Clients in the 4x4 grid can be modified at any time by clicking and dragging a client computer to a new location.

Once the Aggregation Clients and the Aggregation Server have been configured, they automatically attempt to establish encrypted communications with each other. Click Status to view the connection status between computers.
