When performing a mass distribution of a custom device image created with
Rapport, the source device image will require unique preparation prior to

Add-on Modules

To install an add-on module, an administrator must use the built-in Rapport Agent, PXE,
and VNC server utilities of the Thin Client. Disable the Write Filter and enable the Write
Filter as needed to save the changes.

Firmware Upgrades

Intel's Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) is a protocol that defines interaction
between TCP/IP, DHCP and TFTP to enable a client to download a preboot environment
from a server.

The PXE client is installed on the Thin Client while the PXE server component is part of
the Rapport Administrative Software suite.

Note

Citrix ICA auto update does not function for the ICA client installed on the
Thin Client; updates are implemented through the standard firmware
upgrade process. The Thin Client does not support upgrading using the
Microsoft Windows update Web site.
