NeoLinux Thin Client User Manual
CHAPTER 1 Introduction
This chapter introduces NeoLinux thin clients and describes the
scope of this User Manual.
What is a NeoLinux Thin Client?
The Thin Client Neoware thin clients are sleek computing devices that contain no
hard drive, fan, or other moving parts, making them extremely
reliable and completely silent. Thin clients provide access to
programs running on network servers. Generally as you work, your
thin client sends keystrokes and mouse clicks to the server, which
responds with screen updates for your monitor. Most of the
processing occurs on the server. Due to the speed of modern
computer networks, this exchange happens as fast as, and
frequently faster than, processing on a personal computer.
Neoware thin clients can be used with standard VGA, SVGA, and
XVGA-type monitors, PS/2 or USB mouse and keyboard, and
other pointing devices.
Configurations vary with respect to the specific number of parallel
port, serial port(s), and USB ports that are provided. When available, these ports may be used for peripheral devices that may
include printers, modems, floppy drives, zip drives, cd-roms, and
bar code scanners. The version of software installed in your thin
client will determine which types of peripherals may be used.
1
Introduction
Your thin client can automatically connect to either 10BaseT or
100BaseT (twisted-pair) Ethernet networks, as well as make serial
port connections with or without a modem.
NeoLinux Your thin client arrives with NeoLinux software internally pre-
installed in its local Flash disk memory. Using NeoLinux, your thin
client can initiate simultaneous, multiple connections (some models
are restricted to one connection only) to Windows Server 2003,
Windows 2000 Server, UNIX-based servers, mainframes, midrange
computers, intranets, and the Internet, depending on the software
version installed in the thin client.
Connections to Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 Server are
made via Citrix’s Independent Computing Architecture (ICA
tocol, as well as Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).
Note: To make Windows connections using ICA, the server must be
running Citrix MetaFrame or WinFrame.
Access to UNIX-based servers can be made by telnet connections
and by X Window protocols. In addition, the optional TeemTalk
suite provides more than 30 terminal emulations.
®
) pro-
NeoLinux supports DHCP remote configuration services, and NFS
file transfer protocol. In some models a local Mozilla Firefox
browser is also included.

Back Panel Connectors
The following is an explanation of the different connections that can
be found on Neoware thin clients. Not all hardware platforms have
the same number or type of back panel connectors. This listing is
provided for general information about potential uses of these connectors. Note that the serial and parallel ports can be used with ICA,
RDP (Windows Server 2003), and terminal emulation connections.
• MOUSE is a PS/2-type mouse port (green-colored connec-
tor marked with the word “MOUSE” or with the icon displayed here).
• KEYBOARD is a PS/2-type keyboard port (purple-col-
ored connector marked with the word “KEYBOARD”
or with the icon displayed here).
• LAN is an RJ-45 jack. The thin client automatically
detects and connects to either 10BaseT or 100BaseT
(twisted-pair) Ethernet.
• PARALLEL is a standard DB-25 parallel port for local
printers.
• COM 1 and COM 2 are DB-9, RS-232 serial ports.
Depending on which software version is loaded in the
thin client, serial ports may be used for peripheral
devices such as modems, personal digital assistants
(PDAs), and bar code scanners.
• USB ports (two Type A USB ports).
• MIC is a 3.5 mm microphone jack.
• LINE IN is a 3.5 mm line audio input jack.
• LINE OUT is a 3.5 mm audio output jack.
8 Connecting the Components
Setting Up Your Neoware Thin Client
• MONITOR is a standard DB-15, high-density, VGA-
type monitor connector.
• The power supply connects through the supplied power cable. It
automatically detects and accepts either 120 VAC or 240 VAC
line voltage.
Connecting the Cables
Connecting Parallel & Serial Peripheral Devices
Power must not be applied until all connections have been made.
Power cables should be connected last.
1 Arrange the thin client and monitor in your work area.
2 Connect the monitor video cable to the MONITOR port. Do not
overtighten the screws. The video cable connection to the monitor varies. Some monitors have attached video cables.
3 Connect the keyboard cable to the KEYBOARD (purple) port.
4 Connect the mouse cable to the MOUSE (green) port.
5 Connect a twisted-pair, 10BaseT or 100BaseT Ethernet cable to
the LAN jack.
6 Connect any other peripheral devices that you require, such as a
printer (see the following section for details).
7 Connect the monitor power cable to a power outlet.
8 Connect the power cable from the thin client to a power outlet.
9 Turn on your thin client and the monitor, then any peripheral
devices.
You can connect a modem, printer, bar code scanner, and other
peripheral devices to your thin client.
1 If your thin client is turned on, log off all its open connections,
and then turn off the thin client.
2 If you have a local printer, connect its cable to the PARALLEL
port. You can also attach local serial printers to either serial port:
COM 1 or COM 2.
Connecting the Components 9
Setting Up Your Neoware Thin Client
3 If you have an external modem, bar code scanner, or other serial
device, connect its cable to a serial port (COM 1 or COM 2).
Which serial port devices will work with your thin client
depends on the software version installed in it. Not all software
versions support all serial devices.
4 Turn on your thin client and then the peripheral device.
Arranging Your Work Area
The following tips will help reduce eye strain and body fatigue when
using your Neoware thin client:
• Adjust your chair seat level so that your feet are flat on the floor,
your legs form a right angle with the floor, your knees are free of
the chair seat and your lower back is fully supported.
• Adjust the chair height so that the keyboard and mouse are at
elbow height, so your wrists are straight and supported.
• Maintain a neutral neck posture with the top of the monitor no
higher than your eye level.
• Position the monitor at the correct distance for your vision, and
adjust lighting to reduce glare on the screen.
• Take periodic breaks to stretch your arms and wrists and rest your
eyes.
