2 First Contact Wizard
The Windows Thin Client Setup Wizard is used for the terminal's initial setup. The wizard runs
when
• the client has never been configured before or
• in the General tab the check box "Reset the terminal to factory-default property settings" is
activated to restart the terminal.
There are eight dialog boxes for the Setup Wizard process. We show the most important ones.
After the Welcome dialog Click Next to define whether you want the terminal to be managed by a
Scout Enterprise manager or not, and to select the keyboard layout.

address of the Scout manager in the next window. In addition you can modify the terminal name
