Introduction
Introducing the Compaq
Evo
Thin
Client T20 and Compaq Thin Client T1010
Terminals
Compaq Evo Thin Client T20 and Compaq Thin Client T1010
terminals use the Windows NT® Embedded operating system to
display windows rather than the classic text-based display. These
computers are designed to connect to Windows Terminal Server
(WTS) and Windows 2000 servers via Remote Desktop Protocol
(RDP) and Independent Computing Architecture (ICA). RDP is
the Microsoft presentation service protocol for connecting to
Windows terminal servers. ICA is the Citrix presentation service
protocol for Windows NT servers. Both allow an application’s
user interface to execute on a NT Embedded-based terminal while
the application’s logic executes on the server.
About This Book
This publication is a supplement to the standard Windows NT
Embedded documentation supplied by Microsoft Corporation,
which is also available on the Microsoft web site at
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/embedded/nt/. This document
explains the differences, enhancements, and additional features
provided by Compaq with the thin client. No attempt has been
made in this publication to document the standard NT features
found in this product.

Using Your System
Logging On
The Auto Logon feature is enabled as a factory default. Use the
Specify Logon Information dialog box to:
■Change the Default User Name
■Change the Default Password
■Enable or disable Auto Logon
The Specify Logon Information dialog may be accessed with
the following special key sequence: Tab, Home, End, ←
←←
←, →
→→
→.
After completing this key sequence, the next dialog box to
display will be the Specify Logon Information dialog box. Make
one of the following choices:
■As an Administrator, enter Administrator in both the User
Name and Password fields.
■As a User, enter User in both the User Name and Password
fields.
The default for the Logon Information dialog box is User.
✎The passwords are case sensitive. The administrator’s password is
uppercase A followed by all lowercase characters. The user’s
password is uppercase U followed by all lowercase characters.
Passwords can be changed using Ctrl+Alt+Del | Change Password.
For security purposes it is recommended that the administrator
default password be changed.

Using Your System
Time Synchronization
The Dimension 4 time sync application automatically launches
each time the terminal is started. It searches pre-configured time
servers in sequence until it connects and sets the time on the
terminal. The application then automatically exits. If the
application cannot connect with a time server within
approximately 15 seconds it will time-out and close. The time on
the terminal will not be accurate, and will need to be set
manually.
Joining A Domain
✎If you are joining a domain you must have a unique system ID
(SID). All terminals are shipped from the factory with identical
SIDs. Therefore, before joining a domain with your unit, change
the SID.
Contact your System Administrator to have this done.
✎System Administrators: If you do not already have the
appropriate utility to change the SID, contact your software
supplier.
Shutting Down
Shutting down the NT Embedded-based Evo Thin Client T20
or the Thin Client T1010 varies slightly from standard
Microsoft Windows and Windows NT based equipment. To shut
down, Restart, or Logoff, simply click the Start button in the
Task Bar and select the appropriate action from the Start pop-up
menu. (See the following figure).
✎You may also logoff by using the Ctrl+Alt+Del key combination.

The Windows NT
Embedded Desktop
When you log on as an administrator, a dialog box displays over
the desktop for a short period of time. This dialog box shows the

synchronizing its local time with the server’s local time. You can
invoke and use this dialog box again using Start | Settings |
Control Panel | Time Sync.
