2Initial Thin Client Setup
2.1 Hot-keys Functions
Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down Arrow
Use this function to switch sessions.
Ctrl+Alt+End:
Use this function to go back to the Windows list.
Ctrl+Alt+Home:
Use this function to activate the Start menu.
2.2 Setup Wizard
The Setup Wizard lets you set terminal network configuration and terminal display parameters. Any
future changes can be made using the Terminal Properties dialog box. You can launch this dialog box at
any time by pressing the [F2] key.
There are seven dialog boxes that display in succession during the process. Each dialog box is
self-explanatory. Some dialog boxes are informational and require no user input. Other dialog boxes will
prompt you for network and display information.
General

8
2.2.1 Display Settings
The monitor supports several kinds of resolutions. If you want to test it, choose the desired resolution
from the list box and click Test. *WARNING* Test any resolution before changing the resolution on your
DLW Term 1422. If you change to a bad resolution without testing you won’t be able to see your desktop!
2.2.2 Locale
Set up the appropriate geographic region (keyboard settings) for your keyboard.
2.2.3 Network Configuration
Network attached device must contain a unique network identifier. If the network is using TCP/IP as
a communication protocol, these identifiers are called IP addresses. The next few steps will allow you to
choose the method you wish to assign your IP address with. 2.2.3.1 Use the IP information supplied by
DHCP.
If your network provides DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) service and you want it to
provide the terminals IP information, leave the first option selected.
The thin client can get its IP address through a DHCP service by default. The DHCP will

9
automatically assign an IP address that is drawn from a pool of available IP addresses, when a terminal
unit is powered on and a request is broadcast over the network.
Use the IP information supplied by DHCP. If you need to specify static IP address for the terminal,
select the second option. The option is selected automatically if your network does not provide a DHCP
service, or if the unit is not properly connected to the network. In these cases, leave the second option
selected.
IP Address
2.2.3.1 Specify an IP address
If the method you selected on the previous screen was to enter static IP address, the screen shown
below will then appear. You will be required to enter the following information onto the screen.
IP address
Required for identifying this unit to the network. The format will follow the standard addressing format.
Subnet Mask
Required for designating which network the IP address is a part of.
Gateway
Optional address which identifies the machine through which a subnet communicates with another
network.
Specify an IP Address
2.2.3.2 Name Servers
The screen shown below will appear only if you choose the Static IP Addressing method. The DHCP
method will provide this information required using a name resolution service. Terminal servers typically
support both DNS (Domain Naming Service) and WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) name

10
resolution services. This screen allows the terminal unit to use one or both of these resolution services.
To enable DNS, WINS, or both, check the corresponding box. In the text boxes, enter the following
information as appropriate for each. Click OK.
Name Servers
2.2.4 Finishing the Setup Wizard
To review or change settings made on previous pages, click Back; to apply the settings, click Finish. To
change these settings after you have finished the Setup Wizard, press [F2] key to display the Terminal
Properties sheet.

3.5.1 Creating a New ICA Connection Entry
You can configure and run two types of ICAsessions：Citrix server connections and published
applications.
Citrix server connections allow you to remotely control a session on a Citrix server from your Thin
Client. Citrix server connections let you access the desktop of a specific Citrix server; you can run
any applications available on the desktop, in any order.
Published applications are specific applications set up by an administrator for remote users to run.
When connected, you are presented with only the application.
NOTE: This procedure describes the simplest way to create a connection entry. When you follow these
steps, you set the essential items you need to connect to a Citrix server from your Thin Client.
See “Changing a Connection Entry” for more information on changing the other properties for a
connection entry.

17
3.5.1.1 Creating a new connection entry
a. In the Terminal Connection Manager dialog box, click the Configure tab.
b. Click Add.
c. In the New Connection dialog box, click the list box and select Citrix ICA Client. Click OK.
3.5.1.2 Server or Published Application
a. Choose and click Server or Published Application.
b. For a server connection, type the name or IP address of the MetaFrame server or select the name
from the pop-up menu to the right of the Server field. —or—
For a published application, type the name of the published application or select the name from the
pop-up menu to the right of the Server field.
c. If you have typed the name of the MetaFrame server or published application, in the Description
field, type a unique description for the entry. The description is used to identify the connection in the
Citrix ICA Client window. If you have selected a server or published application from the pop-up
menu, a default description is automatically added.
d. Click OK to save the entry or Cancel to exit the Properties dialog box without saving the entry.
3.5.2 Connecting to a Citrix Server
3.5.2.1 To start a previously defined connection
a. In the Terminal Connection Manager dialog box, click the Connections tab.
b. Select the desired connection name and click Connect.

18
If you specified a valid user name and password in the connection entry, you are logged in as that user. If
no user name and password are present in the entry or if the information entered previously are invalid,
then server logon dialog box will appear. Enter a valid user name and password for the Citrix server and
click “OK” to log on.
3.5.3 Changing a Connection Entry
This section describes how to change properties for an existing connection entry.
3.5.3.1 Changing the properties of a connection entry

and configure sound support, see section 3.5.3.5 “Setting Connection Entry Options” for more
information.
f. The Firewall Settings tab, where you can configure the client to use a SOCKS proxy and alternate
address re-mapping, see section 3.5.3.6 “Configuring Firewall Settings” for more information.
3.5.3.2 Specifying an Application to Run after Connecting to a
Citrix Server
Use the Application tab to specify an application to run after connecting to a Citrix server. If you specify
an application, you will not see the Windows desktop when you connect and the connection is closed
when you exit the application.
NOTE: This tab does not apply to connection entries for published applications. Any value entered is
ignored.
a. In the Terminal Connection Manager dialog box, click Configure.
b. Select the connection entry that you want to change and click Edit.
