2.8 Shut Down
Figure 16: Applications > Shut Down
 To shut down the Thin Client
The Shutdown button in the Applications tab provides three standard and one optional option:
• Logoff ends the session for that user. This is useful when more than one person uses the Thin
Client.
• Restart restarts the Thin Client. This is necessary for certain Setup changes to take effect (if you
did not restart the Thin Client previously).
• Switch off turns off the power to the Thin Client.
• Lock is a security feature. It is part of the Desktop Tools package (“Local X display locker,” xlock)
and must be installed. By default it is not installed.
Enter a screen saver password containing numbers or letters. Do not use country-specific letters
with accents or symbols. Press Enter. Wait two seconds. The screen locks.
To return to the monitor, pause the screen saver by pressing a key or moving the mouse and
enter the correct password. The lock feature lasts only for the current session. Turning off the Thin
Client ends the screen lock.
The hotkey to initiate the screen lock from any session is CTRL + ALT + END.
Note The screen lock password is an arbitrary password for one use only. It is not the same as
your the Thin Client password. The screen lock password is not saved, that is, you must re-enter a
screen saver password every time you use the Lock feature. The exception is if when an
authentication server is activated. In this case, the screen lock is preset with the password.
