X350 and X550 User Manual
Page 38
The parameters configurable from this window are:
Station name: The “provisioned name” of the station
Automatically turn station on when system starts: If you uncheck this
checkbox, the station (and its monitor) will not start when the system boots up.
This is normally left to on by default; otherwise, you will have to manually start
the station from this Administration console. In the tool bar, individual stations
can be turned on or off by using the green triangular arrow or red stop sign.
Enable “Shut Down” option without logging on to the station: If this is turned
on, access device users see the shut down options in their logon window and
their “Start” programs tab. This would allow the host PC to be shut down without
a valid user logon. If this is turned off, the shut down options are not visible until
the user logs on.
Monitor off: An individual X-series station consumes less than one watt of
power, but the monitor attached to it consumes many times that (50-70 watts for
an LCD monitor and well over 100 watts for a CRT). Thus the X350/X550 PCI
card provides an EXTRA “energy saver” setting that is independently
configurable for each access device or station. This dropdown menu sets the
amount of time the station can be idle before the X350/X550 puts the monitor into
a sleep state. Moving the mouse or pressing a key on the keyboard attached to
the corresponding access device will wake up the monitor. The installation
default value for “Monitor off” is 20 minutes. Selecting the value of “Never”
means that the monitor will always remain powered on. (All normal screen saver
functions still apply to prevent monitor “burn.”)
Enable “Auto Logon” mode: When this is enabled and there is an entry in the
“username” and “password” fields, the specified username is automatically
logged in when the station starts. Note: a password must be entered to enable
this feature. Also, note that in some environments, your Windows Group Policies
may require users to first press “CTRL-ALT-DEL” to complete a logon.
Run this program only during Logon: and In folder:
When you select a program to run and the folder where it is located, the program
is started when there is a logon using the station. (This option, along with the
Enable Auto Logon option, are often used in setting up unattended kiosk
environments.)
Initial keyboard state: These check boxes allow setting the specific keyboard
states that will be active when the station starts. There are separate settings for
Num-Lock, Caps-Lock and Scroll-Lock.
Keyboard Type (only visible on operating systems using double-byte characters,
such as the Korean language OS): Use this dropdown menu to select the
appropriate keyboard type from the available options (see below).
