The NComputing x300 soft ware is commonly used in the banking firms connecting many users to one host computer saving space and maintaining data integrity through a centralized system.

Users are connected to the host through any access device that is attached to the host through a PCI card connecting with cables.

This system is supported on Microsoft windows and Linux systems.

Users require only a monitor, key board and mouse.
A host PC requires minimum Hardware of:
• 2 GHz processor
• 512 MB RAM
• 60 GB hard disk drive
• Ethernet switch or router

Installing the software: Insert the Software Installation CD into the host PC’s CD drive.

In most cases, a window will automatically appear after a few seconds with installation options. If it doesn’t appear after 2 minutes, go to "My Computer”, open the CD drive’s icon, and start the "Setup” application. At the installation screen, click the "Install Program” button.

Before the installation starts, the installation software attempts to connect to the Internet to compare the software version on the CD with the latest software version on the NComputing server.

If there is a later version on the NComputing server, a prompt will appear to ask if you want to use the version on the CD or if you want to install the latest version.

It is recommended to install the latest version rather than use an older version on the CD.

Network connection

Note: If the network is configured to use DHCP to get dynamic IP addresses, you can setup the access terminal to use it.
