server. This method provides two ways to access the enterprise  
intranet:  
An enterprise dial-up server connects directly to the enterprise  
intranet.  
An Internet Service Provider (ISP) dial-up server provides access  
to the Internet, from which the thin client must access an  
enterprise Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) Virtual  
Private Network (VPN) server that connects to the enterprise  
intranet.  
The dial-up server must be a Microsoft Remote Access Server or  
another server that supports industry-standard protocols.  
Direct connection  
This type of connection allows you to connect directly to another  
computer through the serial port on the terminal.  
This option is available only to thin clients with serial ports.

Virtual Private Network (PPTP) connection  
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that  
enables the secure transfer of data between a remote client (in this  
case the thin client) and an enterprise server environment by creating  
a VPN across TCP/IP-based data networks such as the Internet. It  
provides a password-protected path through the enterprise firewall to  
the enterprise server environment in which the network and session  
services required by the thin client reside.  
Access to the internet requires an Internet Service Provider (ISP).  
You may use any of the standard means of connecting to the ISP,  
such as a dial-up modem, cable modem, or DSL modem.  
You must first establish the connection to the ISP, before contacting  
the enterprise PPTP VPN server. This includes dial-up access as well  
as direct access through the cable modem and DSL modem paths.  
Virtual Private Network (L2TP) connection  
Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) merges Microsoft’s PPTP  
protocol with Cisco’s Layer Two Forwarding (L2F) protocol. L2TP is  
basically the same as PPTP; the primary difference is that L2TP  
supports encryption.  
PPP Over Ethernet (PPPoE) connection  
This is a connection from the thin client Ethernet port directly to the  
enterprise intranet. No additional hardware is required.  
In this configuration all network services may be used, including the  
enterprise DHCP server. A DHCP server on the network may provide  
not only the terminal’s IP address, but also the location of the file  
server containing the software updates.

means to query all terminals assigned to a specific community. Each  
community should have a unique name, and all members of a  
community have the same access privileges. You can assign a single  
terminal to multiple communities.  
Agents send unsolicited reports (traps) back to a specified IP address  
when a particular network activity occurs. The following traps are  
supported: cold start, warm start, authentication failure, link down,  
and link up.  
To add a new community:

localization, automatic disconnect, and remote configuration.  
Variable bandwidth allocation through client-side bitmap caching  
and optional compression for low-bandwidth connections,  
significantly improving performance over low-bandwidth  
connections.  
Multichannel-capable protocol that permits separate virtual  
channels for carrying presentation data, serial-device  
communication, licensing information, and heavily encrypted  
data.  
Remote control which lets the support staff view and control a  
Terminal Services session. Sharing input and display graphics  
between two Terminal Services sessions lets support staff  
diagnose and resolve problems remotely.  
Network Load Balancing (NLB), available in Windows 2000  
Advanced Server and Datacenter Server.  
High color 8-bit, 16-bit, and 24-bit graphics are supported if they  
are also supported in the graphics driver.  
Clipboard sharing, also known as clipboard redirection. The local  
clipboard becomes a part of the clipboard viewer chain in the  
remote session, allowing the user to copy and paste between  
applications running in both the remote session and on the local  
client.

Local-port redirection so server applications can use parallel and  
COM ports of the client device.  
Local drive redirection so server applications can use the file  
system (including ATA) of the client device.  
File redirection filter that permits exposing only specific  
directories. If you specify that only external storage, such as  
Compact Flash or USB storage, be exposed through the  
redirected drive, information is saved only to the redirected drive.  
TS CAL maintenance tool. This control panel window is  
available in any OS design that supports Control Panel programs,  
such as the Enterprise Web Pad. It requires that RDP client be in  
the run-time image.  
RDP now runs in Graphics, Windowing, and Events Subsystem  
(GWES) rather than in its own process space. This provides faster  
display updates by reducing the protected server library (PSL) and  
kernel overhead. RDP running in GWES can improve performance  
up to 30%.  
If you configured RDP to run in GWES, you cannot run RDP inside a  
Web browser. Optionally, you can configure RDP to run in Microsoft  
ActiveX Control.  
Terminal Emulation Connection  
Terminal Emulation Connection (TEC) allows you to create a

Registry Import/Export  
This chapter explains how to import/export a thin client registry using  
Altiris Deployment Server. For more information about Altiris, see  
For information about installing an Altiris BootWorks partition, see  
The Registry Import/Export tool is an HP-engineered software  
technology that makes it significantly easier and more cost efficient  
to manage HP thin clients. Registry Import/Export allows thin client  
devices to inherit properties of other thin client devices. Extracting  
the settings of one device and redeploying the same settings to other  
devices reduces network congestion. Registry settings can be 100 to  
10,000 times smaller than the entire image.  
Please note the following about the Registry Import/Export tool:  
The tools requires extensive knowledge of Altiris Deployment  
Server.  
The source and target machine must have the same image with  
the same quantity of software add-ons, and the software add-ons  
must be of the same revision. The Registry Import/Export Tool  
cannot upgrade or downgrade application versions.  
The import/export process may take approximately two minutes  
to complete.  
CAUTION: Currently, Registry Import/Export between the HP Compaq  
t5510 thin client and the HP Compaq t53x0 and t5500 thin clients is not  
supported.

Registry Import/Export  
Clearing the destination registry  
Before importing a new registry to a thin client, you must clear the  
destination machine registry. To clear the registry, drag and drop  
CE_RegReset from the Job window to the Destination Computer.  
Completion of this process takes two to three minutes.  
Exporting and importing a registry  
To export a registry:  
1. Open the Deployment Server Console.  
2. Select CE_RegExport from the Job window and drag and drop  
the Job to the source unit under the Computers window. This  
copies the source computer’s registry and prepares it for import.  
3. Select CE_RegImport from the Job window and drag and drop  
the job to the destination computer under the Computers window.  
This imports the settings from the source computer to the  
destination computer.  
Completion of this process takes two to three minutes.  
Importing a registry to multiple units  
You can import a single registry to multiple units. To import a  
registry to multiple units:  
1. Select CE_RegExport from the Job window and drag and drop  
the Job to the source unit under the Computers window. This  
copies the source computer’s registry and prepares it for import.  
2. Select CE_RegImport from the Job window and drag and drop  
the job to “All Computers” under the Computers window. This  
imports the settings from the source computer to the network.

Registry Import/Export  
Exporting registries from multiple units  
While it is possible to export registries from multiple thin clients, it is  
important to ensure the registry files have different names. The export  
process saves a time stamp as part of the name for the saved file (for  
example, 051306840.reg, which is May 30, 2006 at 8:40). If you  
export multiple units at the same time, the registry file names will be  
identical. To create distinct file names for each registry, HP  
recommends that you capture each registry a minute apart.
