Kiosk Mode When a thin client is configured for Kiosk Mode, it performs an automatic login to the default connection on startup using predefined user credentials. If the connection is ever lost due to a logout, disconnect, or network failure, it reconnects automatically as soon as it can be restored. TIP: The remote host can be configured to auto-start applications on login, making the Kiosk Mode experience seamless. The easiest way to configure a thin client for Kiosk Mode is to switch it to the Smart Zero configuration (see Customization Center on page 17) and configure a connection. When this is done, the following settings are set automatically: ● The taskbar auto-hides. ● The connection auto-starts. ● The connection auto-reconnects. ● The connection shares the user credentials with the local screensaver. ● The desktop theme is set to that connection type's default theme. ● The USB redirection protocol in the USB Manager is set to that connection type's protocol. If you want to configure a thin client for Kiosk Mode in the ThinPro configuration (for example, if you want to use a connection type available only with ThinPro), you need to configure the following settings manually for the desired connection: ● In the Customization Center, set the taskbar to Auto hide. ● In the Connection Manager for the connection, do the following: ◦ Set the Auto start priority to 1. ◦ Enable Auto reconnect. ◦ Enable Share credentials with screensaver, if available. ◦ For a Web Browser connection only, select the Enable kiosk mode option. ● In the USB Manager, set the proper USB redirection protocol, if necessary. TIP: When in Kiosk Mode, to minimize the connection and return to the local desktop, press Ctrl+Alt +End. Kiosk Mode 25

Kiosk Mode
When a thin client is configured for Kiosk Mode, it performs an automatic login to the default
connection on startup using predefined user credentials. If the connection is ever lost due to a logout,
disconnect, or network failure, it reconnects automatically as soon as it can be restored.
TIP:
The remote host can be configured to auto-start applications on login, making the Kiosk Mode
experience seamless.
The easiest way to configure a thin client for Kiosk Mode is to switch it to the Smart Zero
configuration (see
Customization Center
on page
17
) and configure a connection. When this is done,
the following settings are set automatically:
●
The taskbar auto-hides.
●
The connection auto-starts.
●
The connection auto-reconnects.
●
The connection shares the user credentials with the local screensaver.
●
The desktop theme is set to that connection type’s default theme.
●
The USB redirection protocol in the USB Manager is set to that connection type’s protocol.
If you want to configure a thin client for Kiosk Mode in the ThinPro configuration (for example, if you
want to use a connection type available only with ThinPro), you need to configure the following
settings manually for the desired connection:
●
In the Customization Center, set the taskbar to
Auto hide
.
●
In the Connection Manager for the connection, do the following:
◦
Set the
Auto start priority
to
1
.
◦
Enable
Auto reconnect
.
◦
Enable
Share credentials with screensaver
, if available.
◦
For a Web Browser connection only, select the
Enable kiosk mode
option.
●
In the USB Manager, set the proper USB redirection protocol, if necessary.
TIP:
When in Kiosk Mode, to minimize the connection and return to the local desktop, press
Ctrl
+
Alt
+
End
.
