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.

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

2Setup 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 HP Easy Tools Administrator’s Guide which can be found at http://www.hp.com/support.

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 ThinState on page 46 for more information.

3Connections

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 HP ThinPro display, when configured, lists all server and/or application connections assigned to 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. Figure 3-1 HP ThinPro Control Center—Administrative Mode

The Connections window lists all connections that you can assign to users. You can add, edit, and delete connections from this window.

●Connection Name: Displays the name of the connection. You cannot change the connection name from this column.

●Type: Displays the type of connection. You cannot change the connection type from this column.

●Status: Displays the status, active or inactive, of the connection.

There are eight buttons across the top of the connection list:

●Connect on page 5: Click to start a selected connection.

●Disconnect on page 5: Click to disconnect a selected connection.

●General settings on page 5: Click to manage connection settings.

4Chapter 3 Connections

●Add on page 9: Click to create a new connection and add it to the list of available connections.

●Copy on page 28: Click to copy a connection and add it to the list of available connections.

●Delete on page 28: Click to delete the selected connection. The connection is deleted from the lists of connections assigned to all users, not just the user currently logged on to the terminal.

●Edit on page 28: Click to edit the selected connection.

●User View on page 28: Click to edit connections visible in User Mode.

Connect

To open a connection, select a selection under Connection Name that has a Status of inactive and click Connect.

Disconnect

To close a connection, select a selection under Connection Name that has a Status of active and click Disconnect.

Citrix

A Citrix connection accesses the Citrix SBC (Server-Based Computing) and VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) services.

Configure a Citrix remote connection with the connection wizard. If the default values do not meet your requirements, use the extended options to complete the connection setup process.

Citrix connection management features

When using a Citrix connection, you can configure the client to automatically perform the following functions:

●Launch resources when only a single resource is published

●Launch a specified resource

●Launch a published desktop

●Reconnect sessions on connection startup

●Log off the connection after a specified timeout period

●Launch published resources use the following configurable shortcuts:

◦Desktop icons

◦Start menu icons

◦Taskbar icons

Citrix receiver features

Citrix receiver features include the following:

●Latest version at the time of release:

◦12.1.5 for x86

◦12.5 for ARM/SoC

●Window size and depth settings

●Seamless window support

●Sound quality settings

◦Low

◦Medium

◦High

◦Disabled

●Static drive mapping

●Dynamic drive mapping

●USB redirection for XenDesktop and VDI-in-a-Box

●Smart card virtual channel enablement

NOTE: This feature is equivalent to a smart card login/authentication when using direct, non-

PNAgent connections. With a PNAgent connection, smart card virtual channel enablement enables or disables the smart card virtual channel but does not provide for initial connection authentication. For a smart card authentication to XenApp and XenDesktop, use the provided Web Browser connection instead of the Citrix connection and be sure to enable web access.

●Printer mapping

●Serial port mapping

●HDX MediaStream (hardware-accelerated on most models)

●HDX Flash Redirection (x86-only)

●HDX Webcam Compression

●HDX RealTime (MS Lync Optimization) (x86-only)
