Chapter 1. Product Overview 1.1 Brief Introduction & Main Features Cloudpoint S100 thin client terminal device was specially designed for those scenarios where computers deployed on a large scale and central management is required. With S100, you will greatly reduce the acquisition, deployment, maintenance and management cost of computer. Adopting fully integrated structure, S100 reduces the risk of the equipment problems of traditional computer. With One Key Recovery, the ordinary unprofessional users can resolve the problems themselves, which cannot be done with the traditional computers. S100 has only 5W power consumption, saving more electricity than an energy-saving light bulb. Besides, its fanless mechanical structure makes no any noise at work, providing you a quiet and comfortable working environment. With Cloudpoint Server Suite server side software, you can supervise and control the S100 users easily. It can set up the details of each S100 user, to disable some functions of the S100, such as USB function, audio, resolution etc. With the online user management functions of Cloudpoint Server Suite, online users may be managed and assisted remotely in LAN. The unique video mode technology of Cloudpoint can effectively reduce the consumption of computing resources and network bandwidth, thus allows multiple terminals to play video smoothly. Each user of Cloudpoint/S100 has its own private disk partitions, which cannot be accessed by other user. In addition, the administrator can assign all visible or invisible public disk partitions. 1.2 Specifications X 1 VGA video output interface X 4 USB 2.0 high speed data interfaces X 1 100m Ethernet interface 3.5 x 1mm standard audio input interface 3.5 x 1mm standard audio output interface The external power supply adapter interface (power output 5 v ~ 2 a) 4

8 3.2. Installation Steps Run Cloudpoint Server Suite installation program. For the first installation, the program will check and preview the necessary components of the installation system. Several times restarting of your server/pc shall probably be needed. Pic.3.1 Start to Install After the installation of the necessary components, please read carefully the license agreement, then accept to continue the installation. Firstly please fill in "Expected number of connected terminals" according to the actual deployment situation. This option will determine the maximum number of the terminals you allow to connect to the server/pc simultaneously. The default is calculated by the installation program as per the hardware configuration of the server/pc and the version of the Operation System. However, if you don't know what it means, please leave it to the program and directly click on next. 7

9 Pic.3.2 Set Max. Concurrent User Number Note: If the number of the connected terminals exceeds the "Expected number of connected terminals" you set up, the audio of the terminals might not work properly. In this case, you need to reset this option. Please rerun the installation program, choose "Modify", and reset the " Expected number of connected terminals" Click on next till the start of the installation. In order to verify the validity of the software, please ensure the Internet network connection during the installation process, or it is likely to pop up the following warning: Pic.3.3 Warning without driver certificate signature (Windows Vista or Above) Under normal circumstances, the first installation will get this tips: Pic.3.4 Driver certificate signature verified (Windows Vista or Above) Please choose to trust and install for the above two situations. 3.3 Initialize the basic configuration Start the installation, it will automatically start the server configuration wizard, please follow the configuration wizard to complete the server's basic Settings. 8

10 Pic.3.5 Configuration Wizard:Appoint the disk where the user private disk partition will be located "User Private Disk Partition" refers to the disk which the private disk partitions of all users you'd like to put in. There will be created the User's Private Space Data Home Directory in this partition/disk, please don't manually add or delete files or folders in this directory. We recommend you not to assign this path to the same partition with the operating system, and reserve enough disk space to store the users information. From better management consideration, we suggest you use a dedicated disk partition to store the users' private data. Pic.3.6 Configuration:Appoint the disks which all the users can visit "All users visible drive" refers to the disk partitions that all end users can view, check and use freely. Those disk partitions haven't been chosen here will be invisible to any of the users. However, the disk partition where the operating system locates must be visible, otherwise unpredictable errors shall probably occur. Do not assign the "User private space location" you 9

11 set in the previous step to be the "All users visible drive", otherwise it will be visible to all the users. Pic.3.7 Configuration Wizard:Method to monitor the desktop of the user Click "finish" to complete the configuration. "View user desktop (monitoring) permission method" will decide if the administrator need the user's permission when he uses the server management tool to monitor the user's desktop, or provide the remote assistance to the user. "Don't need permission" means there will be no any prompt when the administrator is viewing the desktop of the online user. If you select "need user's permission", then the system will send a prompt asking the user's permission before the administrator monitor/view the user's desktop. Only when the user permits the monitoring the administrator can start to monitor/view/check. You can set up a super administrator password for this mode, which will allow the administrator temporarily to monitor the user's desktop without any permission. The password can be modified at any time, but every time the modification will be recorded in the log. We suggest only the highest authority manage the password. 3.4 The Server Management Program In the right corner of the desktop task bar, is the icon of the Cloudpoint Server Suite.
