Ncomputing L130 dan Ncomputing L230
Like all NComputing access terminals, the new L230 and L130 dramatically cut computing costs by sharing the untapped power of standard PCs. Best of all, IT staff and end users do not need special training because our solutions are easy to manage, eco-friendly and compatible with standard PC applications. And like all of our L series, the L230 and L130 can use standard Ethernet infrastructure, so that your users can be located as far away from your shared PCs as you need them to be.
The new L230 and L130 bring enhanced graphics performance (with improved color depth and widescreen support) and a microphone port?all in a stylish new smaller chassis (just 1 inch tall and 4.5 inches square) that takes absolutely no desktop space at all when mounted to the back of a monitor. We even include the mounting bracket at no charge.
Of course, the L230 and L130 include VGA support (resolutions up to 1280x1024 or 1440x900 for widescreen), an Ethernet connection, PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports, audio output, and power cable connections. The L230 also has a USB port for flash memory devices and an audio input for microphones. The L130 does not have the USB port or microphone input and is recommended for the ultimate in economy and security.
With the NComputing solution, each user has an individual workstation that consists of a standard monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers (not included). However, instead of connecting directly to a PC, these peripherals connect to the L Series access terminal.
The very inexpensive and highly reliable L Series access terminal connects to our terminal services software on the host PC over standard Ethernet cables (plus routers, switches, etc.). Our terminal services software enables the host PC to create unique and simultaneous user sessions so that each user gets their own rich and robust PC experience. A PC that is running a desktop OS (such as Microsoft Windows XP) can support up to ten users. Server operating systems (like Microsoft Windows 2003 Server or Linux) support up to 30 simultaneous users.
L Series Benefits:
* Share one host PC with up to 30 users
* Dramatically reduces acquisition & support costs
* Easy to set up, maintain and secure
* Connects to host PC via Ethernet
* Supports Windows and Linux
* Compact, reliable & energy-efficient (no moving parts)
* Web-quality multimedia support
Our optional NControl and NShield software add more centralized management capabilities?such as remote monitoring and host PC data backup.
By delivering all the key components of this multi-user computing system, NComputing uniquely delivers a high-performance solution at the lowest possible cost. NComputing breaks the affordability and complexity barrier that has limited computing from being deployed everywhere, to everyone.
Kit Content
Each L130 or L230 terminal comes with a power adapter, a CAT 5e cable, mounting bracket and documentation. A CD with the NComputing terminal services software and the associated license is included. Note that the host PC, user peripherals and networking equipment are not included and must be purchased separately.
Using Linux:
If you would like to install NCT-Linux to use with your L120 please follow the directions listed:
In the Linux terminal window, type
"wget http://www.indoasiateknologi.com/nct-linux.zip"
unpack the files into a desired directory
Using the terminal window, type "chmod 777 lntsinst" press enter then on the next line type "./lntsinst" (make sure that you have root priveledges for this last command)
After this you can run the setup and install the SW.
For your reference, our NCT-Linux currently supports
- Suse ( 9.3 version and 10.0, 10.1 )
- Xandros ( 3.02 version )
- Ubuntu ( 5.04 version, 5.10, 6.06, and 7.04) <= Kubuntu also works
- SuSE Linux Enterprise 10
- OpenSuSE 10.1/10.2/10.3 alpha
- CentOS ( 4.0 version )
- Linspire ( 5.059 version )
- Turbolinux ( Japanese edition / 10 version )
- Fedora Core 4.0 and 6.
- Gentoo 2005.0
Please make sure to have GDM installed for the default Desktop Manager. KDE and Gnome are both supported, however GDM is required for authentication.
port to be open:
TCP-Ports: 27605 , 3581 , 3597 , 3645
and
UDP-Ports: 1283 and 3581
Tips: go to gnome -> system -> admin -> login screen setup.
Check the options there. I forget which option I checked, but after I allow all stuff and reinstall nct-linux. My L200 can connect to Fedora Core 6.
The L200 Product with Linux, has a particularitity. Is necessary to load the BootServer of the Host NCT-Linux, and its Firmware needs to be the image that is in the Software of version 2.01.048, and thus, to obtain authentication and to initiate the correct connection.
If exists "Host Windows" and "Linux" (with NCT)in the net, make sure that the L200 WILL NOT load the BootServer of this "Windows machine". If it to load the Boot Server of the Host Windows, the L200 will not connect (Linux Ts Negociation Error).
Perhaps necessary to isolate the Host Linux, to catch the BootServer.
(Geting the BootServer from NCT-Linux, you can to obtain o Firmware from it)
If the L200 Product, have one firmware more current, however, catches the BootServer of the Host Nct-Linux, and don't get Connection, perhaps necessary to make the DownGrade, and to reduce the version of the Firmware for the image of Software.
(CAUTION, it isn't recomended).
- USB doesn't Work on LINUX!!
- Checking the BootServer: (Info Button)
Debian Linux Remote Device Autologin - Web Kiosk
1) Install IceWM or some other light Window Manager, disable taskbar menu etc
2) Install Opera or Firefox, I really like Opera's kiosk mode.
3) Add a user that will be used for the AutoLogin stuff "opera"
4) Configure gdm (gdm.conf)
AutomaticLoginEnable=false
AutomaticLogin=
TimedLoginEnable=True
TimedLogin=opera
TimedLoginDelay=5
5) Add
if [ -x /usr/bin/opera ] ; then
/usr/bin/opera -k -nokeys -nosave -nocontextmenu -nosplash -nosysmenu -nochangebuttons -nochangefullscreen -nominmaxbuttons -nohotlist -noprint -nomenu http://www.yourlink.com

Suse Linux 10.1
Fixed the problem just checking the following files:
- kdmrc (Xdmcp and Xaccess tags);
- Xaccess
Ubuntu
need a lib, adept, install all the QT3 libs to make it run
NCT running on UBUNTU 7.04 (Feisty)
Before everything, NCT needs Libqt-mt.
Downloads the library Libqt, and installs it.
The Nct looks to the sources of terminals fonts "100dpi" and "75dpi",
into the directory" /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ ", that it is not the directory standard of the sources in the System Ubuntu Feisty.
Correct PATH: "/usr/share/fonts/X11/"
The sources of terminals (100dpi and 75dpi) are the necessary ones, the remaining portion ignore. One is created symbolic links:
# ln -s /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi
# ln -s /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi
With this procedure, the System already functions, and the Gdm already work.
With gdm and the XDMCP already working, the interpretations of keyboard is managed by XKB. In some Systems, with layout of keyboard and different nationality, the Xkb can present error to change the parameters of keyboard (model and layout).
This happens reason the XDMCP looks the keyboard configurations ([xkb], maps, symbols and keycodes), in the directory "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb", that into the System Ubuntu 7,04, it does not point the place some (xkb), presenting the error message:
(Error loading new Keyboard Description)
The correct path of the parameters of the XKB in the Ubuntu System is:
XKB => "/etc/X11/xkb/"
LOCALE => "/usr/share/X11/locale/"
So, symbolic links are created:
# ln -s /etc/X11/xkb /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb
# ln -s /usr/share/X11/locale /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale
And the NCT Work (Ubuntu Feisty)...
NCT running on UBUNTU (Feisty)
To gain access to your linux (Ubuntu) machine, you have to enable sharing service.
Goto menu System ->Administration ->Shared Folders.
You will see there are two services you can install, the NFS for Unix and SMB for Windows network. You can give check mark for both of them, or just the SMB.
Click 'Install Services' button.
After the installation finished, goto 'Shared Folders' tab and klik 'Add'.
In option 'Path', pick folder name you want to share (eg. 'SharingSamba').
Make sure you got 'Windows network (SMB)' in the option 'Share through'.
Uncheck option 'Read only' if you want to write to your shared folder from the network.
Click 'OK'.
Change tab to 'General Properties'.
Fill in your network domain/workgroup in option 'Domain / Workgroup'.
Check the option 'This computer is a WINS server', if you want this computer as a WINS server.
Click 'Close'.
Next, you edit a few options in file /etc/samba/samba.conf
to gain direct access without using a password.
Edit this part:
;security=user
to
security=share
Next, add Samba user. Make sure the Samba username is already exist in your Ubuntu.
After finished added Samba user, restart Samba services to see the changes.
In terminal, type:
$ sudo smbpasswd -a [your login name]
Now go to you windows client.
Goto start menu and click 'RUN'
Type in your Ubuntu share IP.
eg: \\192.168.0.34\
You suppose to see the 'SharingSamba' folder in the Internet Explorer.
