THIN CLIENT PRODUCTS INSTALLATION (GENERAL INSTRUCTION)





Hello Guys 
I have took my time to write and compose complete procedure/guide to install and set-up THIN Client run on your PC.
Some of you may be wondering that what is Thin Client 
A thin client is a lightweight computer that is purpose-built for remote access to a server (typically cloud or desktop virtualization environments). It depends heavily on another computer (its server) to fulfill its computational roles. You can turn one (1) Pc Into 10 - 20 remote computer no need for CPU. 


Clear instruction and guide has been provided below to get Thin client running 

1.   Activate your Windows operating system
2.   Install the thin client driver software inside the CD, from file   below or from the vendor website

3.   Patch and register it using the Multi users software 'autorun, click on your operating system, click on registration components, click on simple installation. In the case of NComputing products. this means to register the thin client to allow for multiple user login concurrently, it may also mean online product, registration.

4.   Turn off Windows firewall in both home/work and public network location settings.
NB: In other thin client products that use switch or write to connect, you need to assign individual IP address manually to each of them. But, if it NComputing product, there is no need for individual IP assigning because, the pack comes with LAN card expansion slot, so the thin clients arc connect to the server directly (mostly CPU as server), Insert N-Computing LAN CARD and RAM and  driver CD.

5.   This step only applies to other products and NOT Ncomputing product. 1 or other thin diem products different from NCompuling brand, you will connect all the Thin client LAN cable to a Switch/Hub, connect another LAN cable to the server from the Switch/Hub, power the Switch on click on Control Panel - Network and Internet - Network Connections, right click on local connection - Status - Details - write down the IP address, Subnet Musk and input manually on the  SERVER IPv4.
EXAMPLE

IP address: 192.168.1.100
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway and Preferred DHP server or DNS Server: 192.168.1.1
6.   For all thin client products, you will Create Remote User, click on Start Menu, search for computer management- local users and group-users- right click and select new user--create all users (PCI to infinity), deselect 'user must change password at next logon1 select "password never expire.

7.   Add created users as Remote Users: Right click on My Computer    Properties    Remote Settings Select 'Allow connections from computers running …’ - Select User    Add    type 'Everyone' OR you may decide to type in the users manually, then click on OK.

Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway/Preferred DHP server or DNS Server: 192.168.1.100 (the server's own)
Remember to put the same server IP on all the thin client as HOST or GATEWAY in the following areas or sections;
(a) LAN Setup, (b) Auto Connect to server (c) Start Up Setup, and (d) Welcome home page (HOST}
