Customization Steps
(Recommended)
1. Start up the HP SAM client.
2. Type the HP SAM Web server name.
3. Click the Options button.
4. Change appropriate connection settings.
5. Click the Save Settings button.
6. Save the config file (hprdc.sam) to the default location, if possible (this may be locked down on
some thin clients).
When you launch the HP SAM client, your saved settings will take effect.
Additional settings can be set by manually editing the .SAM files (configuration files).
1. The HP SAM connection client searches first for the user-specific .SAM file, hprdc.sam.
2. It then checks the access device file, hprdc_accessdevice.sam, in the folder in which you installed
HP SAM. Parameters found in the access device file replace or are added to the merged file.
3. Then, the connection client checks the global file, hprdc_admin.sam, in the same folder.
Parameters found in the global file replace or are added to the merged file.
Refer to
Configuration Settings on page 38 for a list of the options available for the Windows XPe-
based client.
