Quick Reference Guide
Depending on the ports available, the thin client can provide services
for USB, serial, parallel, and PCI devices, as long as the appropriate
software is installed. Factory-installed software is described in the
following section. As they become available, you can install add-ons
for other services using the Altiris Deployment Solution software. For

Use this procedure to determine the port assigned to a device
connecting to the thin client through a USB to serial converter cable.
1. Connect a printer or other device to the serial port of the
converter cable. Do not connect the USB end of the converter
cable to the thin client at this time.
2. Open the Device Manager window (Control Panel > System >
Hardware Tab > Device Manager).
3. A Ports (COM & LPT) listing may or may not display, depending
on thin client model and whether a device driver was previously
installed to a port. If the listing does display, expand it to display
ports currently used.
4. Plug in the USB end of the converter cable to the thin client.
