1. Introduction
Overview
You can configure the IBM Network Station to support a variety of standard applications. These
application include 3270, 5250, and VT emulators as well as the NC Navigator browser and a Java
Virtual Machine (JVM). You can access Windows-based applications from a multi-user Windows NT
Server that runs either Citrix' MetaFrame, WinFrame, or WinCenter from NCD, Inc.
This document explains how to install a QuickOn for Running Windows flash card. This card, which is
a bootable PC Card (PCMCIA), allows a Network Station to function like a Windows-based
Terminal. The QuickOn for Running Windows flash card uses the ICA client to connect to a Citrix
MetaFrame or WinFrame server, or a WinCenter server.
Typically, a Network Station boots from a server that runs IBM Network Station Manager (NSM).
