Configuration of this module is a two step process:

1. Download and install the RF Ideas pcProx Configuration Utility from the RF Ideas pcProx Sonar Website.
2. Specify the Walk-Away and Walk-Up values within the Configuration Utility.
3. Specify the Walk-Away and Walk-Up values within the Module in ThinManager.

The purpose of configuring the Walk-Away and Walk-Up values in both ThinManager and the Configuration Utility is that when the Sonar device sends a key stroke to the terminal and that key combination is defined in the module, the key combination will get processed by the terminal but not sent to the terminal session.

TermMon ActiveX Configuration

The TermMon ActiveX Configuration Module configures the terminal to accept commands from the TermMon ActiveX Control which collects terminal information and can perform terminal functions.
Configurable Options:

• Allow ActiveX Connections: This value, when set to Yes, will allow the ActiveX control to function. Setting this value to No will prevent any ActiveX communication to the terminal, including the default terminal server to terminal access.
• Only Allow Connections from Session: This value, when set to Yes, will allow other terminal server sessions and PCs to communicate to the terminal with the ActiveX functions. If set to No, the only communication allowed is between the terminal and a session on the terminal server belonging to the terminal, providing that the Allow ActiveX Connections value is set to Yes.

The TermMon ActiveX Control is typically integrated into an existing program on the Terminal Server to add in additional functionality to your applications. The control must be registered with regsvr32 before it can be used.
See the TermMon ActiveX Control Article for details on the control itself.

USB Flash Drive Module

The USB Flash Drive Module allows USB flash drives to connect to a terminal. Once this module is enabled and properly configured, the terminal will be able to access the Flash Drive via the following path: \\tsclient\USBDISK
Configurable Options:

• Right Terminal IP Address: Enter the correct IP address for the Slave terminal on the right of the master terminal, if used, and select the Set button.
• Top Terminal IP Address: Enter the correct IP address for the Slave terminal on the top of the master terminal, if used, and select the Set button.
• Bottom Terminal IP Address: Enter the correct IP address for the Slave terminal on the bottom of the master terminal, if used, and select the Set button.
• Allow Interactive Shadow of Master: Normally a terminal with the master module loaded is blocked from interactive shadow. If you want to allow interactive shadowing on the master, highlight the Allow Interactive Shadow of Master parameter, select Yes from the Value drop-down, and select the Set button.

Share Keyboard and Mouse Slave Module

The Share Keyboard and Mouse Slave Module is loaded on the secondary terminals using the same methods as other modules are loaded.

Configurable Options:

• Master IP Address: This setting allows the slave module to be configured to connect to a specified master by entering the IP address of the master terminal and selecting the Set button.

Select the Done button when finished.
Once the terminals are booted, the mouse on the master terminal can be moved seamlessly into the other desktops. The keyboard will be active in whatever screen the mouse pointer is on.
This allows an operator to have control of several displays with only one keyboard and mouse. The mouse movement is seamless, allowing access to displays without switching.

---

Note: A Master Share Keyboard and Mouse session cannot be interactively shadowed in ThinManager unless it is configured to allow it.

---

The keyboards and mice for the slave thin clients can be left attached but stowed away until a multi-user configuration is needed.

Miscellaneous

These are modules that don’t fit in other categories.

Add Serial Port

The Add Serial Port Module is only used to configure the serial ports of daughter boards that add additional serial ports to terminals. Add a module for each additional serial port. Each module will let the user configure one additional port.

• Port Number: This value is to be set to the port number of the new port.
• Port Address: This value is to be set to the port address of the new port.
• IRQ: This value is to be set to the IRQ of the new port.
• UART: This value is set to the chipset type for the new port.

Domain Name System Module (Package 6 only)

• Domain Name: This value is to be populated with your Domain Name.
• Name Server 1 IP Address: This is the first DNS Server the terminal will try to use.
• Name Server 2 IP Address: This is the second DNS Server the terminal will try to use.
• Name Server 3 IP Address: This is the third DNS Server the terminal will try to use.
• Search Domain: This value is to be set to the domain where you want your terminal to find hosts.

Firmware Update Module (formerly the Disk On Chip / Compact Flash Update Module)

ACP enables some models of terminals to store the firmware with Disk On Chip or Compact Flash storage so that the unit doesn’t have to download the entire firmware at boot, but can boot locally and download just the configuration to save bandwidth. This is most commonly used with units that will connect over low bandwidth networks, like wireless networks or WANs. These units can use the Firmware Update module to download and flash new firmware when the firmware is updated in ThinManager.
The ability to update stored firmware terminals eliminates the need to send the terminal back to the manufacturer to update the firmware.
Configurable Options: The Firmware Update module has two configurable parameters.

• Confirm at Terminal: This setting, if set to Yes, will prompt the operator to choose between immediately updating firmware or waiting until the next boot up. If Confirm at Terminal is set to No, the firmware download will take place immediately.
• Force Update: Normally a stored firmware terminal with the Firmware Update module will check firmware version numbers at boot and only download a new firmware if the versions are different. This setting, if set to Yes, will force the terminal to always download the firmware for re-flashing.

---

Note: The module will download firmware when it detects a different firmware. Since this will only happen at the first reboot after updating the ThinManager firmware, it is safe to leave this module added to terminals permanently when Force Update is set to No. It does not need to be added and removed each time the firmware is updated. However, since it will update when the firmware is different, it will try to update the firmware if you boot it from a ThinManager server with older firmware.

---

Firmware Update Program

Once the new firmware has downloaded, an update program will run on the terminal to rewrite the new firmware to the storage. The program will display a warning stating that the terminal must not be reset or powered off during the process, usually around 30 seconds. Ignoring the warning can corrupt the stored firmware, so it is important to leave the terminal alone for that period of time.

---

Note: A loss of power during the firmware update can lead to a bricked thin client.
It is recommended that updates be done over a wired LAN instead of over a wireless connection, when possible.

---

Instant Failover Module (*) (Package 5 only)

The Instant Failover Module is no longer used in ThinManager and exists solely for Legacy Compatibility. This module is only selectable via Advanced Modules and should not applied unless specifically told to do so by ACP Technical Support.

Local Printer Module

The Local Printer Module simplifies printing through the parallel port on terminals.
Configurable Options:

• Printer Driver Name: The Local Print module works when the name of the print driver is entered in the Value field for the Printer Driver Name. The Printer Driver name is provided by the Printer Properties Page.
  

Finding your Printer Driver Name can be accomplished in three steps:

1. Install the printer driver on the terminal servers that the client will connect to.
2. Add the Local Print Module to the thin client as described in Adding a Module to a Group or Terminal.
3. Configure the Print Driver Name parameter in the module to contain the printer driver’s name.

The Printer Properties page for a printer can be launched by selecting: Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers > Right Click on Printer > Printer Properties > Advanced Tab.

See the Printing from Thin Clients Article for details on how local parallel printing works in Terminal Services.

Redundant Ethernet Module

Some terminals have two network ports. The Redundant Ethernet Module allows the terminal to use both ports with a single IP address and a single MAC address.
This module is designed with the intention that the route the interface takes to the terminal server(s) is different than its counterpart, while remaining on the same subnet.
The terminal will use the primary (LAN1) port under normal conditions. If this port, cable, or switch fails, the Redundant Ethernet module will allow the terminal to activate and switch to the backup (LAN2) port in a seamless fashion.

Second Network Module

Some terminals have two network ports. The Second Network Module allows the terminal to use both ports on different networks. This module can be useful in a situation where the terminals do not have a router in their network, but need to access outside resources such as another ThinManager Server.
Configurable Options:

• IP Method: This allows the second port to use DHCP or a static IP.
• IP Address (Static Only): This allows the second port to be assigned a static IP address.
• NetMask (Static Only): This allows the second port to be assigned a subnet mask.
• Router (Static Only): This allows the second port to be assigned a router.

Serial to TCP Module

The Serial to TCP Module allows for a serial device plugged into a thin client to transmit data over TCP on a specified port. Configuring the setup includes plugging the serial device into the thin client, and having the remote PC connect to your specified port on the thin client’s IP.
Configurable Options:

• TCP Port: Specifies which TCP/IP Port will be used for Serial Port Traffic.
• Serial Port: This setting is used to determine which ThinClient COM port will be used.
• Baud Rate: Used to specify the Baud Rate for the COM Port.
• Parity: Used to specify how the parity bit will be used, if at all.
• Data bits: Used to specify how many bits will contain information.

TermMon ActiveX Configuration

The TermMon ActiveX Configuration Module configures the terminal to accept commands from the TermMon ActiveX Control which collects terminal information and can perform terminal functions.
Configurable Options:

• Allow ActiveX Connections: This value, when set to Yes, will allow the ActiveX control to function. Setting this value to No will prevent any ActiveX communication to the terminal, including the default terminal server to terminal access.
• Only Allow Connections from Session: This value, when set to Yes, will allow other terminal server sessions and PCs to communicate to the terminal with the ActiveX functions. If set to No, the only communication allowed is between the terminal and a session on the terminal server belonging to the terminal, providing that the Allow ActiveX Connections value is set to Yes.

The TermMon ActiveX Control is typically integrated into an existing program on the Terminal Server to add in additional functionality to your applications. The control must be registered with regsvr32 before it can be used.
See the TermMon ActiveX Control Article for details on the control itself.

Time Zone Redirection Module

The Time Zone Redirection Module allows a terminal to display local time when it is connected to a terminal server in another time zone.

• Time Zone - This parameter can be highlighted to activate the Value drop-down that contains time zones.

Windows terminal servers need to have time zone redirection allowed in the Group Policy Console.

The Allow Time Zone Redirection policy is found under:

• Server 2003: Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Terminal Services > Client > Server data redirection folder
• Server 2008 R2: Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Terminal Services > Terminal Server > Device and Resource Redirection

User Override Module

The User Override Module is a temporary module that allowed users of ThinManager 3.1 to use the User Override function in Display Clients and is no longer needed in ThinManager 3.2+.
See the Application Override Article for information on the correct way to assign overrides to Display Clients.
