Configuring the Thin Client</A></H2> <P>Unplug the network cable from the NC. Then boot it up. <P>It will boot and display that fine NCD ThinSTAR logo but alse the ugly Windows CE stuff :-)). After the NC has booted, it displays the NCD ThinSTAR setup wizard (if you already have been using the NC, it will not show the wizard, but by pressing ALT-CTRL-F2 you can still reconfigure the system). The first selection is the most important one: Client selection. Be sure to change this to NCD ThinSTAR X Client. <P>Then you have to setup the NC's IP address. We did pick a static IP. You can also specify a DNS server, but this is not needed. To finish pick your monitors resolution. The NC should be restarted now. (Windows CE Remember ;-) ) <P>After a while you will see the NCD ThinSTAR Connection Manager on your screen. First you can continue configuring your system by pressing ALT+CTRL+F2. Things to be configured are: keyboard and mouse. This panel also allows you to reconfigure other parts of your NC. Press OK to commit changes, and you will return to the NCD ThinSTAR Connection Manager. <P>The NCD ThinSTAR Connection Manager gives 2 options: connections and configure. So lets configure the system first. Pick 'X terminal' from the menu and press the edit or add button. <P>The NCD ThinSTAR X Connection Properties allows you to configure the name, connection options, host and color. We prefer the these settings: * Connection Option : XDM Query * Host: specify when connection is made * (other settings are not important) You could also specify a fixed X server but the broadcast option is easier. <P>Basicly your done now and you should be able to start a session by double-clicking the connection you just edited or added. You should get a list with all the X servers you are using. <P> <HR> <A HREF="NCD-HOWTO-6.html">Next</A> <A HREF="NCD-HOWTO-4.html">Previous</A> <A HREF="NCD-HOWTO.html#toc5">Contents</A> </BODY> </HTML>
