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.
