[NFBCS] thin client

[Tracy Carcione]

Not sure if this is completely relevant, but I've had great success using
Jaws and Remote Desktop, getting into my work computer from home.  However,
Citrix has been very problematic, since I couldn't be sure of landing on the
server where Jaws was installed.  When I had to use Citrix for Epic
training, Epic had to create a special menu option for me that would go only
to one server and start Jaws there.  And everything went out the window if
there was a second jump from the remote server to another server where Jaws
was not installed.  My only point is that you have to be sure you're
remoting into the server where Jaws is installed, and you can't leave that
server except to come back to your local.

There are several flavors of  thin client. JAWS does support some of these.
It requires JAWS be installed on the remote desktop. JAWS establishes a
channel between the remote JAWS and the JAWS running on your local computer.
This is done in the background so you  operate the local JAWS just as you
would in a thick client environment.

I used this on a job and it works well with Microsoft Remote Access. I
understand it also works well on the other platforms supported by JAWS. You
will have to get your company to install JAWS on the remote desktop
platform. There is JAWS documentation for all of this.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Regards,

Steve

Hi,

 

I thought I would be using my current computer and have no idea what this
hardware is that I will be receiving in a few days.

>From google:

A thin client is a computer that has no processing power. Unlike a desktop
the CPU, memory, and hard drive power come from a server or server farm.
There is also a welcome reduction in security exposure, as the terminal
server environment is locked down.

 

Does a user have any chance of installing and using jaws on this type of
device?

Bryan Schulz
