Using ViewSonic Device Manager
Managing All Your Clients
3.4.8
Client Settings
The desktop virtualization solution is available in various forms: user state virtualization, application virtualization,
session based virtualization, virtual machine based virtualization, or even a hybrid approach. ViewSonic clients can
meet a wide range of forms and needs. However, to get your client ready for use, you might need to configure client
settings to meet the specific needs in your virtualization plan.
Additionally, for thin client devices of different divisions, departments, or areas, you might want to offer different
computing resources and access privileges. To meet the specific types of policies on computing resources and
access privileges, you might need to customize client settings as well.
NOTE
• The available settings may vary, depending on different client models. For
detailed information on available settings of different product models,
please refer to chapter 4 "Configuring Client Settings" on page 100.
Remote and Local Management of Client Settings
You can configure your client settings locally or remotely. With ViewSonic Device Manager, you can configure client
settings remotely through your local network. With ViewSonic Client Setup, client settings can be configured locally
on a specific client.
NOTE
• The ViewSonic Client Setup console is a built-in tool for all ViewSonic client
products. This tool allows you to configure client settings locally on clients.
Some client settings are only available locally on clients. You can configure those settings locally through the
ViewSonic Client Setup console. For a detailed list of client settings that are only locally available, please refer to
section "4.2 Client Settings at a Glance" on page 97.
Group Configuration and Individual Configuration
ViewSonic Device Manager enables you to apply a group configuration (profile), an individual configuration, or a
hybrid of both to a client to set up its operating environment. With ViewSonic Client Setup, you can also make a
desired individual configuration for a client.
NOTE
• A group configuration (profile) is a set of client settings shared by a set of clients.
• An individual configuration is a set of client settings applied only to a single client.
• A hybrid configuration is a mix of both group and individual configuration.
