HP t5515 Administrator's Guide Linux-based Thin Clients - Page 5

1 Introduction This guide provides the network administrator with instructions for local and remote configuration of the Linux-based thin client and explains the various utilities used to accomplish this task. Typically, a terminal is configured locally and then used as a template for other terminals, which then can be configured via remote administration tools. Server and application connections can be created through the Settings panel's Network Settings dialog. Chapters in this guide are specific to the desktop interface and programs in the Go menu and the programs in Settings, which is the control panel for the Linux-based image. ✎ Not all features described in this guide are available in all Linux-based terminal models. ✎ A default user account is pre-installed: User name: root Password: root This default account is also the Administrator "rights" account for Linux. Therefore, it is recommended you change the password, and create a new separate user account for non-administrator users. Thin Client Linux HP has developed this Linux image especially for thin client use by integrating a comprehensive set of open source, commercial, and custom-developed components. An Altiris client is provided for remote management of the thin client and can be used for upgrading the Linux image with feature enhancements, device drivers, and maintenance updates.
