NeoLinux 4.0 Thin Client User Manual

Getting Started
34 Managing & Updating Thin Client Software
Instant off The thin client is immediately powered-off when
the power button is pressed. No warning is given
if a connection is still running.
Ignore The power button is disabled. Only software can
power-off the client.
User may cancel When the power button is pressed a Shutdown
request
dialog is displayed allowing the user to
confirm or cancel. The dialog will be displayed
for the time period specified in the list box. The
default duration is 60 seconds, after which the
thin client will automatically shut down if the
user does not confirm or cancel. This feature is
useful to prevent users from having their connec-
tions still running on the server while they are
logged off.
The setting of the
Shutdown terminal if battery below checkbox
determines whether the thin client automatically powers-off when
battery power falls below a specified level (default 10%).
Managing & Updating Thin Client Software
The software installed in your thin client can be managed and
updated from a remote server using Neoware’s ezRemote Manager.
This allows an administrator to quickly update or reconfigure thin
clients connected to the network without having to leave his desk.
All the administrator has to do is install the software update snap-in
from Neoware onto the server running ezRemote Manager, then use
the
Snap-in Manager to update selected thin clients. Please refer to
the Neoware ezRemote Manager User Manual for detailed instruc-
tions.
You can also update software on your thin client using the
Software
Update facility as described in the chapter “Updating Your Thin Cli-
ent Software” on page 273. Note that you can only update the thin
client on which you are running
Software Update using this method.
