The file downloaded is a self-extracting executable with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above. 2. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions. 3. Read the *.RSP file and follow the instructions for each script before running them from Rapport, in order for them to work correctly. Installation Rules: The introduction of Add-ons complicates the process of upgrading and downgrading software. It is no longer a simple matter of replacing the entire firmware content nor is it a simple matter of preserving user settings between upgrades. Now there is an extra dimension of synchronization between disparate software components that must be managed across upgrades and downgrades. It is no longer enough to call the Compaq software product 'firmware' or 'code'. To be clearly understood, it is necessary to distinguish between Add-ons and what is left behind, which is called Primer. The main difference between Add-ons and the Primer is that you need the Primer before you can install the Add-on. (Just as you need primer paint before applying the color coating.) The combination of Primer and Add-on will be called Padded. As an easy comparison, observe the old rules of upgrading/downgrading: - If the firmware is newer or the same version, the user settings are preserved. - If the firmware is older, the user settings are lost. However, with Add-ons, the rules are adjusted and expanded as follows: - If the Primer is newer or the same, all user settings and Add-on files are preserved. - If the Primer is older, all user settings and Add-on files are lost. - Installing a new Add-on will preserve existing user settings and any other different Add-ons. - Replacing an Add-on with another of the same type depends as follows: - If the replacing Add-on is newer or the same, all user settings are preserved. - If the replacing Add-on is older, only the user settings specific to the Add-on are lost. - Installing Padded code will depend as follows: - If the Primer and all Add-ons are new, newer or the same version, then user settings and existing Add-ons files are preserved. - If the Primer is newer or the same version and any one of the Add-ons is older, then only the user settings specific to the Add-on being replaced are lost. - If the Primer is older, then all user settings and Add-on files are lost. (It does not matter what version the Add-ons are.) Uninstall Rules: There is a new Add-on Icon in the Devices Tab under Terminal Properties. This applet is responsible for presenting Add-on inventory with versioning information for each Add-on, and also the ability to remove Add-ons. Removing an Add-on also removes any user settings that were specific to the Add-on. Some visible user settings may not be completely removed, but rather are disabled to reflect that the feature is no longer supported. For example, if the RDP Client is removed, then the Printers Tab under Terminal Properties will become disabled. KNOWN ISSUES: - NFuse - (Limitation) Only 2 NFuse sessions at any given time are supported using the hot keys to switch between sessions (ctrl+alt+up arrow / down arrow). HOW TO INSTALL THE ADD-ONS: Prerequisites for installation: - Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000 Server - TCP/IP services installed - SNMP services installed - Thin Client Manager (TCM) installed - Firmware files loaded on server Use the following steps to install the Add-ons using the Thin Client Manager (TCM) [Remote Administrator Tool]: To Set Up TCM Add-On IMPORTANT: T20 clients should be powered ON and connected to the network. A. To Use the TCM Firmware Upgrade from the Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000 Server: - Start Thin Client Manager. - Select Utilities > Upload/Download > Download Firmware. B. To Download/Upgrade Firmware: - Select Client (you may select one or more clients). - When "Enter Firmware Path" is displayed on the screen, select [Browse Button]. - Select [OK]. C. To Download Client Manager: NOTE: Message displayed is "Download Firmware Request(s) Complete." - Select [OK]. The firmware is downloaded to the T20. T20 reads file into memory. T20 erases flash. T20 reboots. T20 is now set to defaults, with the new firmware installed. - Configure the T20 (with settings for your Network) (c) 2002 Compaq Information Technologies Group, L.P.
