Increase the effectiveness of your ThinManager Ready Thin Client network by adding users to your management tree. Control user access with a ThinManager user name and password; and login manually, or automatically using proximity cards or USB flash keys. Grant or deny user access to Thin Clients and terminal server applications and sessions through permissions.
Don’t waste time running back to your office to access your ongoing work. Login at any terminal, at any time, and your current terminal server sessions and the applications you are running in them come right back to you. Make every Thin Client on your network do double duty.
You have five Thin Clients on a production line running your HMI. You license each of these same five terminals with TermSecure. Each Thin Client still functions as an HMI interface; but now you add your maintenance workers as users to the ThinManager tree and give them access to your five terminals and two additional applications; work orders and specs. Now when you have a maintenance issue on your line; your maintenance user leaves his or her office and walks out to the terminal nearest to the problem. If you have added an optional proximity receiver; when the maintenance worker comes within range; he or she will be authenticated and the work order and spec applications will be added to the Thin Client and accessible using a quick keyboard combination or mouse movement. When the worker walks out of range or logs out manually the Thin Client will return to its normal operating mode with the HMI visible.
TermSecure is just one of the new features available in ThinManager 3.0. See the whole product, including a demonstration of TermSecure, at the Las Vegas User's Group meeting in February.
