Introduction

This chapter provides information about the different methods you can use to configure the
Terminal Server.

DeviceManager

The DeviceManager is a fully functional Windows 98/NT/2000/ME/Server 2003/XP Terminal
Server configuration/management tool. You must install the DeviceManager from the CD-ROM
included with the Terminal Server. Through the DeviceManager, you can:
assign an IP address to new Terminal Servers.
perform firmware updates.
create configuration files, which can be immediately downloaded to the Terminal Server.
save configuration files locally in the DeviceManager's native binary format or to a text file.
The text configuration file can be edited with a text editor.
open a session to a Terminal Server and import a (saved) configuration file.
view statistics for a Terminal Server.
download custom files, such as new terminal definitions and a custom language file.
download a configuration file to multiple Terminal Servers.
You can use the DeviceManager as a stand-alone application to create configuration files that
can be saved locally or you can use the DeviceManager to open a session to a Terminal Server
to actively manage and configure it.
