1 Introduction
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.
Using HP ThinPro
The HP ThinPro interface is displayed by default when you turn on the thin client. The desktop
includes a volume icon, a clock, and a taskbar that provides access to open applications. Click on
ThinPro Control Center in the left side of the taskbar to open and close the HP ThinPro interface.
Figure 1-1 HP ThinPro Control Center
HP ThinPro allows you to launch and manage host and remote application connections. Set up
connections and connection types that are visible in User Mode while logged in as an administrator.
An administrator can also restrict users from deleting or creating connections.
Logging in to Administrative Mode
You must log in with administrator permissions to access all components of the HP ThinPro interface.
When the thin client is in Administrative Mode, the following changes occur:
The top section of the control center changes from blue to red.
●
The title adds the text “Administrative Mode”.
●
By default, HP ThinPro opens in User Mode. To switch to Administrative Mode:
Using HP ThinPro 1
1. Click the HP logo in the bottom left of the screen.
—or—
Position your cursor over the screen background and right-click.
2. Select Administrator/User Mode Switch.
3. In the Switch to Administration Mode box, under Administrative password, type a password and
click OK.
NOTE: If you are logging in to Administrative Mode for the first time, retype your password
before clicking OK.
You can also switch modes as follows:
1. Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S, select Switch to Administration Mode, and click OK.
2. Type the administrative password in the field and click OK.
Identifying the taskbar components
The taskbar is a bar across the bottom of the screen that contains several controls:
Figure 1-2 HP ThinPro taskbar
1. HP button—Allows access to the basic functionality of the HP ThinPro operating system, such
as access to the control center and the logout, reboot, and power-off functions.
2. Window tasks—Each active window has an icon displayed in this area.
3. Volume control—Displays a sound control dialog that allows you to change the sound volume for
the thin client.
4. Network icon—Displays information about the active network connections.
5. Virtual keyboard—Displays a software keyboard. Input from the virtual keyboard is redirected to
the current focus window. The virtual keyboard responds to both keyboard events and mouse or
touchscreen clicks. You can change the layout of the virtual keyboard without changing the
overall client keyboard layout; for example, you could use a French virtual keyboard just long
enough to type a few accented characters before closing it and returning to the normal keyboard
layout. The virtual keyboard's layout is active only while its window is open.
6. Clock display—Displays the time according to the thin client's clock. Hovering the cursor over
the clock display shows a tooltip containing the current date.
2 Chapter 1 Introduction
2 Setup and installation
HP ThinPro has a wizard-driven interface to simplify the configuration process of a thin client.
Easy Tools Wizard
The Easy Tools Wizard simplifies the configuration and maintenance processes for HP ThinPro. The
wizard opens automatically the first time you turn on your thin client. To start the wizard after the
initial setup, click the HP icon in the left pane.
The Easy Tools Wizard has two main components: Easy Update and Easy Config. Easy Update
allows you to keep the HP ThinPro image up-to-date with new images, service packs, or additional
packages. Easy Config assists you in setting up your HP ThinPro configuration. Both Easy Update
and Easy Config are available from the Control Panel > Management tab.
The Easy Tools thin client management suite is documented in the
which can be found at http://www.hp.com/support.
Guide
Installation
Once you have set up and configured a thin client, copy that image or configuration and deploy it to
other thin clients of identical model and hardware using HP ThinState. See
for more information.

3 Connections
HP ThinPro allows you to access and manage remote connections. To access all HP ThinPro
functionality, you must log in as an Administrator. As a User, you can only run connections and have
limited access to HP ThinPro functionality.

the user currently logged on to the terminal. For each connection, the display shows the name, type,
and status of the connection.
NOTE: Double-click any displayed connection to activate that connection.
In Administrative Mode, you can configure and assign connections by clicking Connections.
