AX3000 Models 80 and 85 - User's Manual 

This chapter covers Axel Thin Client installation under Windows 

This chapter describes the operation of the AX3000 in a Windows environment. For more general 
information please refer to the previous chapters.  

The connection to a Windows server can be done either via: 

-

 Individual session

: this is a dedicated connection to a server, a broker or a farm of servers. 

The target resource can be either an application or a desktop. 

  This is for Microsoft TSE/RDS, Citrix Receiver or VMware View Client. 

-

 

Application Desktop

. This feature allows a user, after authentication, to see the icons of his 

published application on the thin client

’s desktop. Launching a published application is simply 

done  by  clicking  the  associated  icon.  To  open  the  application  an  RDP  or  ICA  session  is 
automatically established 

  This is for Microsoft RemoteApp (server 2008R2 or more) and Citrix Receiver. 

The next chapters are: 

- Microsoft TSE/RDS Session. See Chapter 5.1. 
- Citrix Receiver Session. See Chapter 5.2. 
- Application Desktop: Citrix Receiver and RemoteApp. See Chapter 5.3. 
- VMware View Client Session. See Chapter 5.4.
