between a user and the host computer. A user can log on at a terminal, and then run
applications on the host computer, accessing files, databases, network resources, and so on.
Each terminal session is independent, with the host operating system managing conflicts
between multiple users contending for shared resources. In summary, TSRA provides
remote access for administering the MaxAttach NAS 6000 from virtually anywhere on
your network, giving system administrators a method of remotely managing the MaxAttach
NAS 6000 from any client.

Terminal Services Advanced Client (TSC) is the component running on the client
machine; in the case of a MaxAttach NAS 6000, the TSC ActiveX component is
automatically installed when the user selects this task.
The primary difference between TSC and the traditional mainframe environment is that
the dumb terminals in a mainframe environment only provide character-based input and
output. A TSC or emulator provides a complete graphical user interface, including a
Microsoft Windows desktop and support for a variety of input devices (such as keyboard
and mouse).
In the Terminal Services environment, an application runs entirely on the terminal server.
The TSC performs no local processing of application software. The terminal server
transmits the graphical user interface to the client, and the client transmits your input back
to the server.
