Administrator Guide

Connecting to a remote server
On your initial connection to central conguration, we recommended that you connect using a wired connection plug in the network-
connected Ethernet cable to your zero client before starting the zero client to obtain the congurations desired by the administrator. This
wired connection will also provide any wireless congurations provided by the administrator through INI les.
If you must initially connect to central conguration through wireless, use the Wireless tab in the Network Setup dialog box to enter the
SSID and encryption congurations required or set up by the network administrator.
Central Conguration — If you are congured for automatic detection using INI les — see the Parameters for a xen.ini File in this guide,
your zero client will automatically detect and connect to the congured remote services during the boot-up process. Press the power
button to turn on your zero client to see the Login dialog box. Enter your User name, Password, and Domain, and then click Login. After
authentication is successful, your available connections are presented.
Manual Connection — If you are not yet set up for central conguration, you will see the Zero Toolbar, where you can congure the initial
server connection you want using the Remote Connections dialog box before you can log in. For more information, see Connecting to a
Remote Server manually.
You only need to complete this manual conguration once or after reboot to factory defaults. After the zero client knows the location of
your server, it automatically connects to the server for login when you start the zero client in the future. After you conrm that your
environment is ready for deployment, you can create INI les for central conguration.
Connecting a remote server manually
To connect a Remote Server manually, complete the following tasks:
1 From the oating bar menu, click the System Setup , and then click Remote Connections. The Remote Connections dialog box is
displayed.
2 Click the Broker Setup tab of the Remote Connections dialog box to congure one of the following connections:
• A specic Citrix broker server connection — Enter the IP Address of the server in the Broker Server box.
NOTE
: For more details, see Conguring the Remote
Connections.
3 Click OK, and then restart the zero client.
Click the Shutdown icon on the Zero Toolbar to open, and use the Shutdown dialog box to restart the zero client.
NOTE
:
If a Specic Broker Server Connection is congured— After zero client restart, the Login dialog box appears for your server.
Enter the User name, Password, and Domain and click Login. After authentication is successful, your Zero Toolbar is presented
with your assigned connections dened by the broker server.
Using your desktop
What you view after logging on to the server depends on the administrator congurations.
• Users with a zero desktop - will see the zero desktop with the zero toolbar showing the assigned list of connections from which to
select. This option is recommended for VDI and any full-screen only connections. For more information on using the zero desktop, see
Zero Desktop Features.
