Filter and enable writes to Flash. After you make your changes, double-click on the Write
Filter icon in the system tray and select Commit changes to disk and enable write filter.
Your changes are saved to Flash, the I/Port automatically restarts in 15 seconds, and the Write
Filter is re-enabled when the restart is complete.
The Sentral client is provided as the default client on both the XPe- and NeoLinux- based
I/Ports. When using your XPe-based I/Port as a client managed by Sentral, do the following
from the Sentral Console to begin configuring your I/Port for Sentral:
1. From the Sentral console, run a discovery to discover all thin clients (as described in
Sentral Administrator’s Guide). From the Setup > Configuration screen, ensure that the
Discovery Update Config drop-down menu is set to True. This setting pushes out
credentials for the Primary and Secondary Sentral servers to the I/Port. If Discovery
Update Config is set to False, right-click the thin client (I/Port) in the Hierarchical view,
and select Configure to manually specify the Primary and Secondary servers.
2. Add the I/Port to a Thin Client Group.
3. Allocate the I/Port or Thin Client Group to a host, a host group, or a virtual machine
(VM).
To log in directly to a host from an XPe-based I/Port, double-click the Thin Client Agent
Manager icon on the thin client desktop and enter login credentials for the I/Port (thin client).
Then log into the host using RDP, specifying the domain and host name as follows:
domain.com\host_name
If you are using an XPe-based I/Port as an unmanaged thin client with Microsoft Remote
Desktop Protocol (RDP), double-click the Remote Desktop Connection icon on the desktop.
Login to your desired host system using that host’s fully qualified name. For example:
support.clearcube.com
You can also use the ezConnect client to set up manual RDP connectivity to hosts. Click
Connections, select Add, and enter the connection information to your host.
If using an XPe-based I/Port as a client managed by ezRemote Manager, see ezRemote
Manager User Manual:
Download ezRemote Manager from the following URL:
Optimizing RDP and the I/Port
Under most circumstances, the I/Port itself does not run any applications other than the XPe
core operating system, the Sentral client, and RDP. All applications run on the host.
When you use the Sentral client, the interface settings are managed by Sentral automatically.
However, if you use RDP as a standalone client, there are several settings that you can adjust
