1Introduction
The HP ThinPro operating system reinvents user interface 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 Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (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.
Some ThinPro images may look different than those pictured in this guide. Not all features are present on all models.

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.
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.
ENWW
Control Panel
29
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.
30 Chapter 3 Reference ENWW
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.

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

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.

Display Preferences
This utility allows you to add, edit, and delete profiles. A profile is a display specification, which includes resolution, refresh rate, bit depth, and whether or not the display should be rotated.
Most administrators use the default profile, which
uses Display Data Channel (DDC) to query the resolution and refresh rate from the monitor
uses 24- or 32-bit color depth
does not rotate the display
The administrator may setup different profiles when
using a 16-bit color depth should improve RDP or ICA performance because less data has to be transmitted over the network or sent to the graphics chip
some users have to run an application that requires a specific resolution or bit depth in order to function properly
the administrator wants to standardize on one display profile, even though there are many different monitors across the organization
one or more users run applications that require their monitor to be rotated (portrait versus landscape mode)
NOTE: The Display Preferences window contents are different based on the actual hardware
model. Some models allow configuration of up to four monitors, some two, and some only one.
