HP ThinPro 5.2 - Administrator Guide

Conguring the aggregation server
To congure the aggregation server:
1. Select Peripherals > Client Aggregation in the Control Panel.
2. Click Server.
3. The aggregation server is displayed in a blue box that contains its hostname. Click and drag the
aggregation server to the desired location in the 4x4 grid.
4. Click the location in the 4x4 grid where you want to place the rst aggregation client, type its hostname
or IP address, and then press
Enter. The aggregation client is displayed in a green box.
5. Add up to two additional aggregation clients in the 4x4 grid, if desired.
Placement of the aggregation server and the aggregation clients in the 4x4 grid can be modied at any
time by clicking and dragging the corresponding box to a new location.
Once the aggregation clients and the aggregation server have been congured, they automatically attempt to
establish encrypted communications with each other. Click Status to view the connection status between
computers.
Display preferences
HP ThinPro allows you to create proles for display preferences and apply dierent proles to dierent
monitors. A prole includes resolution, refresh rate, bit depth, and orientation.
To congure display proles:
1. Select Peripherals > Display Preferences in the Control Panel.
2. Congure the options as necessary, and then click Apply.
NOTE: The options may dier depending on the hardware model.
See the following tips about when customizing display proles would be useful:
●
Some applications might require a specic resolution or bit depth to function properly.
●
Some applications might require the display to be rotated.
●
Using a 16-bit color depth should improve Citrix and RDP connection performance because less data has
to be transmitted over the network or sent to the graphics chip.
●
AMD-based platforms (t520, t610, t620) oer only 32-bit color depth. The t505 and t510 oer either
16-bit or 32-bit color depth. In all cases, 32-bit color depth actually uses 24 bits.
●
An administrator might want to standardize on one display prole, even though there are many dierent
monitors across the organization.
Conguring printers
To congure a printer:
1. Select Peripherals > Printers in the Control Panel.
2. In the Printing dialog, click Add .
3. In the New Printer dialog, select the printer to congure, and then click Forward.
