Thin Client Overview
The Thin Client is a user interface workstation to the MCC. Additional
Thin Clients can easily be added at any time in the future.
Placement
Once the initial quantity of MCC workstations are determined, consider
the following placement issues:
ƒ The customer must determine how many of the MCC workstations
will be directly connected to the MCC network hub. If any of the MCC
workstations are connected directly, do not exceed the Ethernet UTP
wiring limitation of 100 meters. The customer must run Category 5
Ethernet cable between the MCC server and the MCC workstations,
minimally leaving 6’ of slack at the MCC rack location (measured
vertically up from the floor). Ensure you label each cable.
ƒ MCC workstations that are connected to the MCC via the customer’s
corporate network can be placed at any location there is network
access. This requires a corporate network drop to the MCC hub.
ƒ For additional network information, refer to Chapter 4 MCC Network.
Note: For network fault tolerance, Visara recommends connecting
at least one workstation directly.
Note: Failure to install and test the Ethernet cabling will delay
the MCC installation.
User Account Info
At this point, you can start planning user account information. A user is
any person, group, or location that will have access to the MCC. The
minimum information needed to start a user account is a user name,
password, and MCC access rights. The system administrator can add and
edit user account information at any time. Through the security editor in
the MCC GUI, the administrator also can assign specific permissions to
user groups.
