shields users from the complexity of the Linux operating system. It
has been designed specifically for thin client computing applica-
tions. ezConnect allows users or administrators to create a variety of
connections to run Microsoft Windows applications on servers,
UNIX applications via the X Window protocol, terminal connections
to servers, mainframes and minicomputers, Netscape Navigator
Internet sessions for applications such as kiosks, and custom connec-
tions to launch virtually any Linux application. ezConnect also
allows users to customize the operation of the device.
Neoware thin clients are sleek computing devices that contain no
hard drive, fan, or other moving parts, making them extremely reli-
able, and completely silent. They can be used with standard VGA,
SVGA, and XVGA-type monitors, PS/2 or USB mouse and key-
board, and other pointing devices.
Configurations vary with respect to the specific number of parallel
port, serial port(s), and USB ports that are provided. When available,
these ports may be used for peripheral devices that may include
printers, modems, floppy drives, zip drives, cd-roms, and bar code
scanners. The version of software installed in your thin client will
determine which types of peripherals may be used.
Your thin client can automatically connect to either 10BaseT or
100BaseT (twisted-pair) Ethernet networks, as well as make serial
port connections with or without a modem.
Your thin client arrives with Neoware's NeoLinux software inter-
nally pre-installed in the local Flash disk memory of your thin client.
