FARONICS INSIGHT - Ncomputing Installation

LskTSDat.ini le
e manual install procedure explained in the previous section edits the Insight configuration file (C:\
Program Files\Insight\LskTSDat.ini). If you do not wish to run the SetupTSClient.exe file on each thin
client, you can edit the .ini file directly with any text editor such as Notepad.
ere is an entry in that file for each thin client which will be running either the Student or Teacher
soware. e format of the .ini file is as follows:
[Insight TSClient List]
WYSE001001=Teacher, Channel=1, Name=Teacher1
WYSE001002=Student, Channel=1, Name=WYSE001002
WYSE001003=Student, Channel=1, Name=WYSE001003
WYSE001004=Student, Channel=1, Name=WYSE001004
e first part of each line (WYSE001001 in this example) is the Client Name of that thin client.
Each thin client device has a unique Client Name set by the manufacturer or during hardware
configuration. You can find that name by logging into the device and entering the SET command
from a command prompt.
Following the Client Name is the type of Insight soware to run on that thin client device (either
Student or Teacher.) e next parameter defines which Insight Channel to use for that thin client.
Generally, all thin client devices in the same lab will have the same Channel number.
e last parameter defines the Insight Display Name. e student will appear in the Teacher Console
with both the login name and this name. By default, we use the Client Name, but that can be changed
if a more meaningful name is desired.
If you are load balancing (i.e. multiple Terminal Servers serving the same lab) you must install the
Insight soware on all Terminal Servers and then replicate the completed LskTSDat.ini file to all
Terminal Servers.
Active Directory Installation
If the previous installation procedures do not provide sufficient flexibility, Insight can be loaded on
demand via a login script in an Active Directory environment. You will have to be able to determine in
the script if the thin client machine is a Student or Teacher. Please contact Faronics Support for more
detailed instructions if you need to use this method.
NComputing Installation
Installation in an NComputing environment is a two step process.
Run TerminalServices.msi on the NComputing Console machine. Run SetupTSClient.exe on the
NComputing Console machine. is will copy all needed files to the NComputing Console machine
and configure that Console machine to run the specified Teacher or Student soware.
Aer Insight has been installed on the Console machine, run the SetupTSClient.exe program again
each NComputing Station machine which is attached to the Console machine. is will not copy any
additional files but will configure an Insight configuration file (C:\Program Files\Insight\LskTSDat.
ini).
If you do not wish to manually install Insight on the Station machines, you can manually edit this
configuration file as explained in the Terminal Server 2003 Installation section.
