terminal session is independent, with the host
operating system managing conflicts between
multiple users contending for shared resources. In
sum, TSRA provides remote access for administering
your DataSafe NAS from virtually anywhere on your
network, giving system administrators a method of
remotely managing the DataSafe NAS from any client.
Terminal Services Advanced Client (TSC) is the
component running on the client machine; in the case
of a DataSafe NAS, the TSC ActiveX component is
automatically installed when he selects this task.
The primary difference between TSC and the
traditional mainframe environment is that the dumb
terminals in a mainframe environment only provide
character-based input and output. A TSC or emulator
provides a complete graphical user interface,
including a Microsoft Windows desktop and support
for a variety of input devices (such as keyboard and
mouse).
In the Terminal Services environment, an application
runs entirely on the terminal server. The TSC performs
no local processing of application software. The
terminal server transmits the graphical user interface
to the client, and the client transmits your input back
to the server.
With TSC, you have full access to the DataSafe NAS
desktop and can manage it as if you are sitting in front
of a monitor attached to the DataSafe NAS. All
Microsoft Windows management tools can be used,
and the Windows 2000 online Help can be accessed.
When a user opens TSC she or he connects to the
DataSafe NAS, and starts a session.
When he or she is finished, he or she can either
disconnect, and leave the session running (to enable
connecting to this session again later) or log off,
