Installing Faronics Insight
Installing Faronics Insight on NComputing Devices
NComputing provides a number of small access devices that connect, either directly or via
Ethernet, to a centralized server that hosts each virtual desktop. These devices include the L, U,
and X-series computers. Support for NComputing devices is very dependent on the generation of
hardware and the version of vSpace software installed. As this support is somewhat dynamic,
please check the NComputing matrix on the FAQ page at
http://support.faronics.com
for the
latest news on what combination of hardware model, operating system, and vSpace software is
supported with this version of Faronics Insight.
L and M-Series
The L and M-Series platforms allow multiple users to share a single host computer. The client
hardware is attached to the host via a standard Ethernet infrastructure. Because of the similarity
of the L and M-Series architecture to a standard terminal server, you should first copy the Insight
files to the L or M-Series host computer with the TerminalServer.msi package.
X-Series
The X-Series platform allows a single computer to be shared with up to eleven users. Up to 2
X-Series PCI cards are installed in the Host computer. After the software has been installed on all
clients of the host, the host should be rebooted and all users should login again. Installation is
similar to Terminal Server installation (detailed above.) You must first copy the Faronics Insight
files to the Host computer with the TerminalServer.msi package and then configure the client
computers with the SetupTSClient.exe utility.
U-Series
The U-Series platform is only supported as Stations connected to a Windows Multipoint Server.
Thin Client Limitations
While every effort has been made to implement all Faronics Insight functionality for thin client
devices, there are some limitations. The following is a list features that do not work on thin
clients.
•
Sound Muting
•
USB limiting
•
Printer limiting
•
Power on
•
Shutdown or Reboot
•
Change student channel (now done from .ini file)
•
Change student display name (now done from .ini file)
•
Extensive student hardening (it is assumed that a thin client device is locked-down from the
Server)
