Configuring multiple thin clients
After you complete the configuration for a single NetVista thin client (see
“Configuring your thin client” on page 9), you can use this base terminal
configuration to configure your other NetVista thin clients. You can capture and
export the base terminal configuration to a server, and then install this
configuration to multiple NetVista thin clients.
This section provides information on the following configuration tasks:
v
Setting up your configuration server
v
Exporting the base terminal configuration
v
Creating a registry update file
v
Installing the exported configuration to multiple thin clients
v
Updating with RDP auto-login
These configuration tasks enable you to set uniform terminal property settings and
terminal server connections for your NetVista thin clients. You can perform these
configuration tasks to control and manage the terminal configuration of multiple
NetVista thin clients.
Setting up your configuration server
To configure multiple NetVista thin clients, you need to set up a configuration
server. Your configuration server can be the same server as your update server.
Additionally, your configuration server must meet the following requirements:
v
To import the base terminal configuration from your base NetVista thin client,
and to update multiple NetVista thin clients with this base terminal
configuration, your configuration server must be accessible by your NetVista
thin clients through a high-speed TCP/IP connection (for example, a LAN).
v
To import the base terminal configuration from your base NetVista thin client,
you must configure FTP on your configuration server. Additionally, your
configuration server must allow anonymous FTP write access.
v
To store the base terminal configuration onto your configuration server, you
need to create a new directory on your configuration server (IBM recommends
[drive]:\wbt_config
). FTP should be able to access this directory.
Exporting the base terminal configuration
After you set up your configuration server, you can export the base terminal
configuration of one NetVista thin client to your configuration server.
Important
Before you export a base terminal configuration, verify the system build of
your base NetVista thin client. You can only export the base terminal
configuration to other NetVista thin clients that have the same system build.
You can find the system build of your NetVista thin client in the Build
Version Information
box on the System tab.
Follow these steps to export the base terminal configuration:
