Do you have an application bulletin for using TermSecure<\/a> with a RFIdeas<\/a>\u00a0card scanner?\u00a0 I have recently purchased a few scanners and wish to set them up with my thin client?<\/em><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

We don\u2019t have a separate stand alone application for the RFIdeas card scanners, but we do have a module that can be configured at the terminal level. You want to find the \u201cRF Ideas pcProx Module\u201d or \u201cRF Ideas pcProx USB Module\u201d. \u00a0This will integrate nicely with TermSecure, the details of which may be found on page 450 of the ThinManager Manual:<\/p>\n

Is it mandatory to have Remote Desktop Role installed in ThinManager Servers even if they will not serve any application? We already have a separate Terminal Server where the HMI applications will be hosted.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is not required.\u00a0 You only need the RDS role installed on your application servers.<\/p>\n

We looking to deploy an Arista<\/a> thin client with a display that has the eGalaxTouch touchscreen integrated with it. The thin client does not include any serial ports, and current 5.0.6 version of the eGalaxTouch driver does not appear to have a USB option. Is there any way to get the USB option on that touchscreen driver??<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

You should have a module entitled: USB Touch Screen Driver. If you add this module and restart the terminal, the Terminal will look for compatible USB Touch Screens.<\/p>\n

I am running a current install of ThinManager 6.0 and want to properly apply Service Pack 1<\/a>. \u00a0Do I disable synchronization? Anything else I need to know when upgrading a live system??<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

– Disable synchronization<\/p>\n

– Backup your configuration<\/p>\n

– Upgrade your servers<\/p>\n

– Enabled synchronization<\/p>\n

– Reactivate your master license<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It’s generally a fairly simple process.<\/p>\n
