• Audio – The audio streams, such as .wav and .mp3 files, play through the I/Port’s
speaker connection. RDP provides downstream audio only. RDP only supports audio out
(i.e., from the host to the I/Port) so speakers connected to an I/Port can play sound
generated by the host. However, audio in (i.e., from the I/Port to the host) isn't supported
by RDP so audio devices such as microphones cannot transmit back to the host.
ClearCube Sentral
ClearCube Sentral provides IT administrators with a comprehensive set of features and
functionality for managing their I/Port environments. Sentral can optimize hardware
utilization by dynamically allocating I/Ports to a defined pool of hosts.
Sentral tracks host loading statistics and automatically initiates a connection to the least
utilized host when each user logs on. Power users can be mapped to an individual host
ensuring maximum performance. Auto discovery of I/Ports and hosts makes it easy to
inventory and manage assets. In addition, an update feature makes it easy to update the Sentral
Client on each I/Port when new software versions are made available. Finally, Sentral delivers
server-level availability to end users by enabling Administrators to easily switch an I/Port user
to a spare host should they experience a problem.
Neoware ezRemote Manager Software
Neoware ezRemote Manager is a remote management tool for keeping I/Ports up-to-date and
is used as a companion to Sentral. ezRemote Manager is based on a straightforward,
easy-to-use interface that allows administrators to remotely push drivers, applications, and
security updates via snap-ins, to a single I/Port or an entire enterprise. Snap-ins are
deployment packages that can automatically install peripheral drivers or local applications
such as VPN clients. ezRM can fully re-image a device in order to deploy a customized image
enterprise-wide or for disaster recovery on individual devices. ezRM is also the tool for
keeping XPe based units up-to-date with Microsoft security updates.
I83xx Driver and Admin Utility
The I83xx driver and the I83xx admin utility enable support for I83xx–series I/Ports in a
Sentral environment and are available on the Sentral installation CD.
Note: The I83xx driver and the I83xx admin utility are required only if you use I83xx I/Ports in
your environment. Ensure that you do not install I83xx drivers or admin utility on hosts
connected to I94xx I/Ports.
Each blade or virtual machine to which an I8330 connects must have the I83xx driver
installed. See Sentral Administrator’s Guide for more information about the I83xx driver and
the I83xx admin utility.
