WML Sumo Thin Client User Guide
Client Connection Manager
The client connection manager runs every time the Sumo thin client is powered up. It manages all
of your connections and provides an interface for you to configure new connections. You can
always return to the Connection Manager using the key combination Ctrl-Alt-End (except when
initially running the Setup Wizard).
The connection manager manages the windows of each running connection and allows you to
switch between the windows using the key combination Ctrl-Alt-Down.
There are a variety of ways to connect to a local or remote server, WML recommend using
No
Machine NX.
No Machine is a very cost effective and reliable method, it will allow multiple full
graphic sessions to any machine that has the inexpensive No Machine server software loaded. With
No Machine NX you can also run a low performance session to a remote server using a dial up
modem, although this would be slow in terms of response times.
The connection manager also allows you to configure Citrix ICA, RDP, VNC, SSH, telnet, www
and XDMCP connections. The setup of each connection is covered in the following sections.
Tooltips are provided throughout the Connection and Setup Managers, giving you context sensitive
help.
