SOFTPAQ NUMBER: SP13803 PART NUMBER: 157763-xxx FILE NAME: N/A TITLE: Compaq T1000 Thin Client Firmware Update VERSION: 3.4 (Build 348.4) LANGUAGE: English CATEGORY: Software Solutions DIVISIONS: iAppliances PRODUCTS AFFECTED: Compaq T1000 (worldwide products) OPERATING SYSTEM: N/A SYSTEM CONFIGURATION: N/A PREREQUISITES: FTP site, or T1000 Client Manager, Version 1.0.2.1 (SoftPaq SP13805) NOTE: Client Manager, Version 1.0.1.1 will not work with this. EFFECTIVE DATE: May 1, 2000 ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION ALLOWED: Yes SOFTPAQ UTILITY VERSION: 4.0 SUPERSEDES: N/A DESCRIPTION: This utility will place a set of files on a server for later installation of the T1000 Client Manager firmware upgrade. Once the files are placed on the server, the System Administrator will either place the files in an FTP site area, or use the T1000 Client Manager Tool to remotely "push" the firmware upgrade to the selected T1000 Clients. Enhancements/Fixes: ENHANCEMENT#1: Microsoft Windows CE Version 2.12 core OS updates. ENHANCEMENT#2: Citrix MetaFrame 1.8 support via a new client, Version 4.10, build 752, and includes the following functionality. Local printer support - Allows administrator to indicate a specific printer is attached to a client reducing the current per connection configuration. Reducer code - Reduces the network traffic due to more efficient use of the protocol Business Recovery - Support fail over to a backup server in the event of primary server disruption Note: This new client does not support local Program Neighborhood ENHANCEMENT#3: Secure ICA; is an encryption feature in the ICA client. A corresponding Citrix component on the server is required for the encryption support to work. There are three levels of encryption and v3.4 contains only the basic encryption for use worldwide. This Citrix encryption format is native to the standard ICA protocol. ENHANCEMENT#4: PCMCIA Token Ring; support for the Racore Token Ring card Model M8134 (revision C or greater). ENHANCEMENT#5: PCMCIA Wireless; support for the Lucent WaveLan IEEE 802.11 PCMCIA card. ENHANCEMENT#6: LPD printing; will allow the T1000 to act like a simple network print server such as the HP JetDirect box. The basic operation will allow an NT or UNIX box to communicate to a printer attached to the T1000 through the LPD network protocol. The T1000 will take the printer data and directly route it to the printer. There will not be any type of spool functionality provided within the T1000 and only one printer device will be supported. ENHANCEMENT#7: Wake on LAN; (WOL) allows a system administration tool, such as the T1000 Client Manger v1.0.2.1, to administer a T1000 at any time, even when the T1000 is in the OFF state. When in OFF state, the T1000 still checks each packet on the network and looks for a specific signature within the frame that can wake the T1000 up and allow administration. ENHANCEMENT#8: Auto Configure on power-up; this feature removes the requirement of going through the T1000 Setup Wizard on power-up. Instead, the user may simply let the T1000 automatically configure its IP address and even launch a particular ICA session. When the Setup Wizard is first presented to the user, a timeout value countdown occurs. During this countdown, the user may continue with the Setup Wizard or let the timeout expire, thus invoking the Auto Configure. ENHANCEMENT#9: Port Lock; this feature disables the T1000 ports, serial and/or parallel, preventing any resident application access to them. ENHANCEMENT#10: Single Selection PPP Connect; allows user to make a single selection to initiate a dial-up followed by a connection. A connection can either be ICA, RDP or a terminal emulation mode. ENHANCEMENT#11: IBM5250 Record & Play; this function allow you to store, retrieve, and display data with a single key entry. The record/play functions eliminate repetitive operations. Instead of typing the same data, the T1000 can store the data and recall it. The data remains in non-volatile storage when saved. ENHANCEMENT#12: 122 Key keyboard support; supports Affirmative Model 1220 122 keyboard for IBM5250 mode. ENHANCEMENT#13: Terminal Emulation LPD Client Support; allows spooling of print jobs to remote LPD network devices. ENHANCEMENT#14: Audible Tone; in ICA sessions the T1000 will generate an audible tone without external speakers. ENHANCEMENT#15: Terminal Emulation Security; Two layers of security a) Terminal Setup Wizard and b)Account Privilege Properties: Administrator: As an administrator, a person named in the "Username" field has system wide authority to do anything and everything including creating, deleting, and modifying other users and administrator accounts. No restriction is imposed on this privilege. User: A person named in the "Username" field with the "user" privilege has limited authority to perform certain tasks. These tasks are: Change password, Configure network including dialup via PPP, User convenience settings such as screen resolution, language, etc. and start either dialup or network connection Guest: Guest privilege is the most restrictive of all. A person with "guest" privilege can only do: Initiate a dialup connection via PPP, user convenience settings such as screen resolution, language, etc. and start a network connection. ENHANCEMENT#16:"G" key disable; support Users Interface Properties Security Field to disable "G" key reset. When enabled the unit cannot be reset to defaults. Using security you can deny access to this field to users/guest. NOTE: If security is enabled and the administrator password is lost, a RELOAD of firmware into the Flash memory is required to recover. HOW TO USE: 1. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your server's hard drive. The file downloaded is a self-extracting executable. 2. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions. Entering "Y" to confirm the unpacking of files creates a new directory folder in the download directory. All files are unpacked into this newly created directory. 3. The firmware may be either "pulled" to the T1000 via placing the files on an FTP site and the user invoking the upgrade from the T1000, or "pushed" to the T1000 by placing the files in a folder for access/use by the T1000 Client Manager. 4. After the installation of the files is completed, you may delete the self-extracting file downloaded in Step 1. Copyright 2000, Compaq Computer Corporation. All rights reserved.
