Enhances Microsoft’s RDP for PCs, ThinPATH PC, NCD ThinSTAR and Neoware
Windows-based Terminals
As organizations deploy Microsoft Terminal Services
and server-based applications to thin client and PC desktops, the need
to support local printers, peripheral devices and audio at the desktop
grows significantly. ThinPATH Plus software enhances Microsoft's Remote
Desktop Protocol (RDP) to solve this customer need. In addition, ThinPATH
Plus supports both PCs and Windows-based Terminals to provide a unified
solution and a way to extend the life of installed PC resources.
Desktop Peripherals
ThinPATH Plus enables the deployment of server-based
applications and transparent support for a variety of USB, serial or parallel
desktop peripherals that may be used for input or output of data. This
functionality is transparent to both the application and the Microsoft
Terminal Services session on the server.
Supported local devices include printers and bi-directional
serial devices (up to 115K baud) such as PDAs; check scanners, bar code
and credit card readers for point-of-sale retail applications; dictation
devices, smart card readers and light pens for point-of-care applications
in the healthcare industry, and fingerprint recognition devices for security
applications in the banking and airline industries. ThinPATH Plus also
supports shared printers and peripherals to maximize flexibility and resources.
Windows Audio Input and Output
ThinPATH Plus software enables Windows sounds, ranging
from the familiar Windows audio cues to WAV and video files to be heard
at the PC or ThinSTAR Windows-based Terminal. Audio is a critical component
of training or other education applications. The audio data stream dynamically
adjusts to the available network load by compressing the data. This feature
allows loaded networks or slower links to maintain the original fidelity
of the audio without imposing arbitrary limitations.
The ThinPATH Software Family
ThinPATH Plus is a member of the ThinPATH software family
that provides desktop management support for thin clients and PCs running
ThinPATH PC. ThinPATH PC transforms PCs into thin clients, enabling them
to be easily managed and providing enhanced functionality and flexibility
for the Microsoft Terminal Services environment. ThinPATH software is
built on decades of experience in meeting customer needs with industry-leading
thin-client software technology.
