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 configure 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 definition.
The locally defined connections are added to the connection list. Be aware of the following information:
• High-privileged user—Typically, all locally defined connection definitions are temporary and are lost when the user logs off
and when the thin client restarts or is shut down. However, if configured by an administrator (enablelocal=yes), locally defined
connection definitions can be saved in these cases.
• Stand-alone user—Locally defined connections are retained when the thin client restarts or is shut down and there is no
individual logon. Network configuration 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 definitions for the currently selected connection. Edits are not permanently
retained when the user signs-off.
• Low-privileged user—Cannot create or edit connections, but can view connection definitions. However, you can enable a
low-privileged user to create a connection using INI parameters.
• Stand-alone user—Can permanently modify the persistent connections except when PNAgent/PNLite services are used.
d) Click Sign-off to sign off 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 configure settings that
affect all the connections in the list.
