before making the change, and re-enable it after you have committed the change. The
Write Filter is a software feature that prevents any inadvertent or undesired writes to
the Flash Drive where the I/Port’s operating system and other software is stored.
When you push software updates using ezRemote Manager software, the Write Filter
is managed automatically. See Updating Software on the Eon e100 and Capio One
I/Ports on page 91 for more information.
The Write Filter displays an icon in the system tray. When the icon has a red dot, the
Write Filter is enabled, stopping you from writing to the Flash. When the icon has a
green dot, the Write Filter is disabled and you can go ahead and write to the Flash.
To manage the Write Filter manually, you must be logged in as administrator.
Double-click on the Write Filter icon in the system tray and select Disable write filter
to disable the Write Filter and enable writes to Flash. After you make your changes,
double-click on the Write Filter icon in the system tray and select Commit changes to
disk and enable write filter. Your changes are saved to Flash, the I/Port
automatically restarts in 15 seconds, and the Write Filter is re-enabled when the
restart is complete.
If you are using your XPe-based Eon e100 as a client managed by Grid Center, do the
following from the Grid Center Console:
1. Discover the I/Port.
2. Configure the I/Port with the Primary and Secondary Consoles’ names to
establish them as trusted machines.
3. Add the I/Port to the Grid Center authentication database.
4. Allocate the I/Port to a Blade or a Blade group.
The Grid Center authentication database allows adding and configuring multiple
I/Ports simultaneously. See the Grid Center Administrator’s Guide for more
information.
If you are using your Eon e100 as an unmanaged thin client with Microsoft Remote
Desktop Protocol (RDP), double-click the Remote Desktop Connection icon on the
desktop. Log in to your desired host system using that host’s fully qualified name. For
example:
support.clearcube.com
To log in directly to a Blade with the I/Port client, double-click the I/Port Client
Manager icon on the desktop and enter login credentials for the I/Port. Then log into
the Blade using RDP, specifying the domain and Blade name as follows:
domain.com\blade_name
Optimizing RDP and the I/Port
Under most circumstances, the I/Port itself does not run any applications other than
the XPe core operating system, Grid Center, and RDP. All the applications and real
“compute-work” happens back at the Blade. However, there are several settings that
you can adjust on the I/Port to optimize the user experience. Most of the performance
optimization revolves around configuring RDP in the most appropriate fashion, given
your infrastructure.
ClearCube recommends using the I/Port primarily on a corporate network (100Mbps
or faster). However, you may have users who will use I/Ports for remote applications,
such as office access from home, offshore development, etc.
