1. Introduction
1.1 What is CR PC Station?
The CR PC Station enables you to dramatically cut computing costs by sharing the untapped
power of PCs. The CR PC Station, Ethernet-based extension protocol, and terminal services
software work together to efficiently harness excess computing capacity and enable multiple
users to share a single PC. Best of all, IT staff and end users do not need special training because
this end-to-end solution is easy to manage and is compatible with standard PC applications.
1.2 What is the terminal services software?
Note: This document uses the following terms interchangeably: "User software," "host PC
software," "terminal services software" and "NCT-2000-XP".
NCT-2000-XP, the terminal services software, divides the host PC's resources into independent
sessions that give each user their own robust PC experience. One PC can support up to ten users
when running on a desktop operating system, such as Microsoft Windows XP. With a server
operating system on the host (Microsoft Windows 2003 Server or Linux), up to 30 users can be
supported simultaneously.
1.3 Features
The CR PC Stations do not have a CPU, hard drive or CD-ROM, yet most users find it
indistinguishable from a full PC environment. The CR PC STATIONS exclusive technology allows
you to add up to 30 computing terminals to your existing PC. Each EG PC Station offers a full and
independent computing experience.
Simultaneous desktop operation
Each CR PC Station accesses the host PC OS and can run its applications concurrently and
independently through Ethernet.
Minimal Maintenance Required
You only have to maintain and upgrade the host PC since the CR PC Stations have no CPU, hard
drive, or CDROM.
Small sleek design
Allows more room in your office or on your desk, and can even mount on the back of your LCD
with included bracket.
Eco-friendly
Since the CR PC Stations have no moving parts, it makes no noise and saves energy by drawing
only 5 watts.
Supports multiple resolutions
640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 and 1280x1024, by 16-bit colors.

Support windows XP sp3 patch and windows 2003 server sp2 patch.
1.4 Minimum System Requirements
A host PC with at least:
• A 2 GHz processor
• 512 MB RAM
• 60 GB hard disk drive
• Ethernet switch or router
Do not use a notebook PC as the host. Notebooks use power-saving features and different
technologies than a typical desktop PC, and this causes power management and memory
problems.

2. Installation
2.1 Install the terminal services software
(Optional, but must be done once)
Insert the Software Installation CD into the host PC's CD drive.
Go to "My Computer", open the CD drive's icon, and start the "Setup" application.
Before the installation starts, the installation software attempts to connect to the Internet to
compare the software version on the CD with the latest software version on the server. If there
is a later version on the server, a prompt will appear to ask if you want to use the version on the
CD or if you want to install the latest version. It is recommended to install the latest version
rather than use an older version on the CD.
Note: The following message will appear if any computer on the network is not connected to the
