HP ThinPro 6.2 - Administrator Guide

Option Description
Remote computer sound Species where the remote computer’s sound should be played (remotely or locally) or if
it should not be played at all.
Enable port mapping Maps the thin client's serial and parallel ports to the remote session.
Enable printer mapping Maps the local print queue to the remote session. Use this option if either USB
redirection is unavailable on the remote host or the printer is a parallel or serial printer.
Congure the printer to use a local printer spooler, and the VMware Horizon View client
automatically sets up a remote printer that sends print spooling commands through a
virtual channel from the remote host to the thin client.
This method requires both that the printer be congured on the thin client and a
Windows driver be specied on the thin client because the VMware Horizon View client
needs to specify to the remote host which driver to use for the remote printer. This
Windows driver must match the driver that the printer would use when locally attached
to a Windows operating system. This information is usually found under the Model in the
printer properties.
Shared folders Add, Remove, or Edit shared folders.

Warning Timeout Species the amount of time in seconds after receiving the last network traic from the
server before the user is warned of a lost connection. This function can be disabled by
clearing the option or setting the time to zero.
With the Show Warning Dialog option selected, a warning dialog will be displayed when this
timeout is reached. Otherwise, the warning is written to the connection log only.
TIP: HP recommends increasing the timeout value for networks that experience frequent
busy periods or momentary outages.
Recovery Timeout Species the amount of time in seconds after receiving the last network traic from the
server that the RDP client waits for the connection to recover without taking any special
