Using the Connection Manager

To use the Connection Manager:

1 Click Connect Manager on the Taskbar.

• The Connect Manager has a list of connection entries and a set of command buttons available for use with the connections.

• Non-privileged users cannot view the Connect Manager.

The Connection Manager dialog box is displayed.

2 In the Connection Manager dialog box, use the following buttons to congure the Connection Manager settings:

a Click Connect to select a connection from the list and make a connection.

b Click New to open the Connection Settings dialog box either directly or through the Connection Protocol menu selection for

creating a new connection denition.

The locally dened connections are added to the connection list. Be aware of the following information:

• High-privileged user—Typically, all locally dened connection denitions are temporary and are lost when the user logs o

and when the thin client restarts or is shut down. However, if congured by an administrator (enablelocal=yes), locally

dened connection denitions can be saved in these cases.

• Stand-alone user—Locally dened connections are retained when the thin client restarts or is shut down and there is no

individual logon. Network conguration settings must be made locally.

c Click Properties to open the Connection Settings dialog box for the selected connection.

Be aware of the following information:

• High-privileged user—Can view and edit the denitions for the currently selected connection. Edits are not permanently

retained when the user signs-o.

• Low-privileged user—Cannot create or edit connections, but can view connection denitions.

• Stand-alone user—Can permanently modify the persistent connections except when PNAgent/PNLite services are used.

d Click Sign-o to sign o from the thin client.

e Select a connection from the list, and click delete to delete the selected connection.

f Select a Virtual connection from the list, and click Reset VM to reset a selected virtual connection.

g Click Global Connection Settings tab to open and use the Global Connection Settings dialog box to congure settings that

aect all the connections in the list.

While the Login dialog box allows you to log on to the server, it also allows you to:

• Obtain system information.

• Access Admin Mode to congure thin client settings.

• Change or reset your own password, and unlock your account.

• Open the Shutdown dialog box by using CTRL+ALT+DELETE.
