(DHCP, DNS, routers).
1.2.2
– Multi-Session, Protocols and Emulations
With its set of protocols and emulations, the thin client can be connected to most of multi-user
environments.
A thin client can support up to six concurrent and independent sessions which can be used as :
- Predefined sessions : the session is defined (protocol / emulation / resolution) to be
connected to any given server.
- Application desktop : after local authentication, icons of published applications are
displayed. When an icon is selected, a dynamic session (RDP/ICA) is created.
A taskbar or hotkey are used to open or switch between sessions.
For secured connections, SSL (with certificates) and the RDP/ICA gateway feature is supported.
1.2.3 - Print and Terminal Server
The AX3000 auxiliary ports can be managed either:
- By a network service: LPD or PRT5250 for printers, TELNET CLIENT for serial terminals or
TTY for other peripherals.
- By escape sequences: compatible with serial terminals. (Slave mode)
