Overview
Purpose and This manual explains how to use Neoware thin client appliances
intended readers that are powered by Neoware Software incorporating the
Microsoft Windows CE operating system. It’s intended primarily
for end users, though administrators, evaluators, and others will
find it helpful, too.
Organization We recommend that you read the chapters of this manual in order.
The main topics covered are:
• Unpacking and setting up your Eon or Capio thin client appli-
ance.
• Configuring your Eon or Capio thin client appliance for your
network.
• Connecting to one or more servers.
• Changing the appliance properties of your Eon or Capio thin cli-
ent appliance.

Introduction
What is an Eon Eon 3000 Series, Capio 600 Series, and Capio II Series devices are
3000, Capio 600, Windows-based Terminal thin client appliances that let you use
or Capio II? applications running on Microsoft Windows application servers, as
well as applications running on UNIX/Linux servers, midrange, and
mainframe computers, and on the Internet/intranet. Compared to
personal computers, Eons and Capios are relatively simple devices,
since most of the computing is done by the servers.
Your Eon or Capio can connect to servers running Microsoft Win-
dows 2000 Server (as well as Advanced Server and Datacenter
Server versions), Microsoft Windows NT 4 Server, Terminal Server
Edition (TSE), and to servers that are running Citrix MetaFrame,
WinFrame, or Citrix Device Services (CDS). Using the Pericom
terminal emulation suite, you can also connect to mainframes and
minicomputers. Plus, you can connect printers, modems, bar code
scanners, and other peripheral devices to your Eon and Capio. Some
models of Eons and Capios include Microsoft Internet Explorer Web
browser for viewing and printing HTML Web pages.
Eons and Capios aren’t difficult to use. If you know how to use a
personal computer, or even if you don’t, you can use an Eon or
Capio.

Shadow Settings
Neoware’s ezRemote Manager
software includes ezAnywhere
technology that allows an
administrator to shadow the
current desktop of any
Neoware thin client appliance for remote configuration and for help
desk functions.
Administrators can change the behavior of ezAnywhere shadow-
ing, as well as the behavior of other VNC-based shadowing cli-
ents, in the Shadow Settings dialog. By default, only ezRemote
Manager-initiated ezAnywhere sessions are accepted by the thin
client appliance (requiring the appropriate password if an appli-
ance password has been set). Unless the default configuration is
changed, the appliance user is queried for permission before the
connection is made. However, if the appliance user does not
respond to the query within a timeout period, the connection will
automatically continue.
Note: Disabling
ezAnywhere shad-
owing will disable
the administrator’s
ability to remotely
configure the thin
client appliance
using ezRemote
Manager.
By default, the
appliance user can
refuse the shadow
connection by click-
ing No within 5 sec-
onds. In order to
allow unattended
remote administra-
tion, if not rejected
the connection will
be allowed.
Changing Properties
This checkbox allows you to prevent appliance users from adding,
changing, or deleting connections defined through the Neoware
Connection Manager. Check this box to allow access to the Config-
ure tab in Connection Manager. Uncheck this box to hide the Con-
figure tab.
Checking this box and setting a thin client appliance password effec-
tively locks down the desktop device so that end users may not make
any changes.
Autostart all connections.
This checkbox, if checked, causes all of the defined connections (in
Connection Manager) to be started whenever the thin client appli-
ance starts. If you desire to have fewer than all of the connections
autostart, set the individual connections to autostart. (See
Automatically restart disconnected sessions.
This checkbox, if checked, causes any disconnected connection to
automatically reconnect. Used in conjunction with autostarted con-
nections, a thin client appliance can be configured to always be con-
nected to one or more servers.
Changing Properties
In the Network section, the subnet mask and default gateway set-
tings are used if your network has multiple subnets. The MAC

To select a server, first select a server group and then click Add.
Then type the IP address or DNS name of a Citrix Master Browser
server and click OK. You can add more servers to this and other
groups, delete servers, and prioritize them.
Note: Select Use HTTP server location if your firewall restricts
UDP broadcasts. This option enables the client to retrieve a list of all
Citrix servers on the network and a list of all published applications
from a Citrix server that’s behind a firewall. Using this setting
requires the user to specify the server address and the port to use
when you click Add.
Firewall Settings You can set your ICA connections to connect through a SOCKS
tab proxy server firewall. First select the Connect via SOCKS proxy
checkbox, and then type the IP address of the SOCKS server. If the
port number isn’t 1080, type another.
Note: If you select a SOCKS proxy server, you must specify at least
one Citrix server in the Server Location tab for server browsing to
work. Also, if the ICA client is outside a firewall that uses address
remapping, you must select the Use alternate address through fire-
walls checkbox.
PNLite tab PNLite allows you to set the thin client appliance to display only the
server connections and published desktops provided from an NFuse
server. When enabled, at startup the thin client appliance prompts for
a password (or other appropriate user credential information if not
already saved) and then displays only ICA connections and pub-
lished applications that are made available to the specified user.

If you are using a Neoware Eon that was shipped prior to July 1,
2001, then you will need to enable the USB controller in the BIOS
in order to install and use the Cisco Aironet 340/350 internal wire-
less Ethernet card. Please carefully follow the instructions below in
order to enable the USB controller in the appliance BIOS.
Note: Do not change other settings in the appliance BIOS. Doing
so may render the thin client appliance non-functional.

Windows CE Thin Client Appliance User Manual
LPR (which stands for "Line Printer Remote" although you can use
it with most kinds of printer) is a printing protocol that is part of the
TCP/IP protocol suite. LPR allows you to send a print job to a net-
worked computer (or to an LPR-equipped network printer) for han-
dling with other print jobs (the job gets placed in a "print queue").
In order for LPR to work, there must be a receiving device that is
running the Line Printer Daemon ("LPD"), the computer utility that
is responsible for accepting LPR jobs.
Neoware thin client appliances include LPD for accepting LPR
print jobs. Windows NT and Windows 2000 servers can print using
LPR, as can UNIX/Linux servers and many mainframes. That
means that print jobs can be directed to Neoware appliances from
virtually any server operating system. This allows administrators to
create network printers for use by anyone using the network, with-
Appendix
out depending on having an active user session.
Both the thin client appliance and the server require configuration
in order to use LPR/LPD. This appendix describes typical configu-
ration settings on Neoware appliances, as well as on Windows and
UNIX servers.

Using LPR/LPD Printing
hp5si:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp5si:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:rm=10.10.100.13:\
:rp=LPT1:
3 Save the file.
4 To print from the command line, enter the command:
lpr -P <printer name> <name of file to print>
Further driver configuration on Linux is left to the customer.
Don’t use When you enter the Queue Name, be sure not to add a colon (:) or
punctuation any other punctuation. Just use the Queue Name, exactly as it
appears in the LPD Printer Utility dialog on the thin client appliance.
For more information, see “Configuring the appliance for LPR/LPD
printing” on page 82.
"Printer name" Although both Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0 use the term
really means "name of printer" to prompt for information when defining an LPR
Queue Name printer, the correct entry is the appropriate Queue Name (see above).
For example, if you attached the printer to the parallel port, you
would enter the Queue Name "LPT1" (without any punctuation).
