Understanding your IBM NetVista N2200w,thin client for
Windows-based Terminal Standard 1.5
The IBM NetVista N2200w, Thin Client for Windows-based Terminal Standard 1.5
(5648-C09) offers a fast and simple thin client solution for server-based
environments. The NetVista thin client can access Windows
®
applications and
other applications on terminal servers, while enabling rapid application
deployment and low total cost of ownership for customers.
The NetVista thin client is an enhanced Windows-based terminal (WBT) that
delivers focused, secure, and optimized information for the user. It can access
applications on Windows servers (see “Appendix B. Windows server requirements”
on page 63) through Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), or Independent Computing
Architecture (ICA). It also includes Terminal Emulation Client (TEC) software for
accessing various terminal server applications.
The NetVista thin client comes with IBM thin client hardware (see “Learning about
the hardware” on page 3 for more information) that includes a preinstalled and
preconfigured CompactFlash card. The CompactFlash card contains software that
provides access to Windows applications and other applications on terminal
servers. The NetVista thin client boots locally from the CompactFlash card, and
communicates to a terminal server through the TCP/IP.
