=Configuring Client Machines to Inveneo Hub Linux (IHL)=

Accessing Shared Files Folder
In a computer lab installation, it is best to have most client machines connect to 1 shared folder on the server. This way a user can access their files from any computer. IHL comes with a Shared Files folder. To connect XP to the Shared Files folder:
 * 1) Log into the inveneo account
 * 2) Start > Settings > Control Panel > User Accounts
 * 3) Give the default account the password 1nvene0
 * 4) *For default to automatically log into the Shared Files folder, the user name must be default and the password must be 1nvene0. Otherwise, when the user logs in, they will have to enter a user name and password to access the Shared Files folder.
 * 5) Now that the default account has password, XP will NOT automatically log into the default account on boot up. However, it is not recommended to give passwords to regular users.  To force XP automatically log into an account with a password, use Tweak UI.
 * 6) Start > Programs > Tweak UI
 * 7) Click Logon > Autologon
 * 8) Check ''Log on automatically at system startup
 * 9) Set user name to default
 * 10) Click Set Password
 * 11) Type in the password for the default account
 * 12) Log into the default account
 * 13) Open My Computer
 * 14) Tools > Map Network Drive [[image:XP-IHLshare01.gif|none|400px]]
 * 15) To map the network drive, set the drive letter and the folder location.
 * 16) *The drive letter is the letter used identify the location of the drive on the local machine. Generally the OS is on the C:// drive.  A thumb drive will also receive a drive letter when plugged into XP.  Inveneo recommends setting the drive letter for a mapped network drive to a letter in the middle of the alphabet, like Q
 * 17) The location of the folder is address XP uses to find the folder. The format is \\\ .  To connect to shared_docs, the location is \\192.168.100.1\shared_docs [[image:XP-IHLshare02.gif|none|400px]]
 * 18) If the user on XP does not match user the IHL, you will have enter a user name and password. Every time XP is rebooted, the user will be prompted to enter the user name and password for the mapped network drive.  If the user on XP matches the user on IHL, XP will automatically log into the mapped network.  In the case of the Shared Files folder, the user is named default and the password is 1nvene0
 * 19) Once the drive is mapped, a new icon in My Computer that links to the share on IHL [[image:XP-IHLshare03.gif|none|400px]]
 * 20) Redirect My Documents to the mapped network on drive Q:\. Right click the My Documents icon on the desktop > Properties
 * 21) Change the Target to 'Q:\ > OK
 * 22) Would you like to move all of the documents in your old location to the new location you have chosen? Yes Now My Documents and programs that save to My Documents, like OpenOffice, will save files to IHL without disturbing the user.

Accessing Private Folders
The only share that comes preconfigured on IHL is the Shared Files folder. However, other folders can be created on IHL and then accessed by the XP clients. To create new folders, you must first create folders/shares on IHL then adding mapped network drives to the clients.

Create New Shares on IHL
See the IHL Manual, Chapter 9 Users and Shares

Accessing Private Shares/Folders
XP connects to a private share the same way it connects to the Shared Files folder, using a mapped network drive. However, XP Home can only automatically connect to drives with the same user name and password and the person who logs into the machine. If XP is connecting to Shared Files and to a private share on the server, XP will only be able to log into one of the drives automatically. The user will have to enter the user name and password to access the other mapped network drive.

Content on IHL
IHL can serve content to client machines. When a computer lab does not have Internet access or a very slow Internet connection, adding content to the server gives users the ability to access information quickly. For instance, a child friendly version of Wikipedia can be installed on IHL, which the client machines can easily access without an Internet connection.

Adding Content
See the IHL Manual, Chapter 11 Adding Content

Allowing Clients to Access Content
The easiest way to access the uploaded content is through a shortcut icon on the desktop
 * 1) Log into the default account
 * 2) Open Firefox
 * 3) Browse to the location of the content
 * 4) * SOS Children's Wikipedia is at http://192.168.100.1/wikipedia/index.htm
 * 5) * LearnThings Primary School is at http://192.168.100.1/Primary/Home/default.htm
 * 6) * LearnThings Secondary School is at http://192.168.100.1/Secondary/Home/default.htm
 * 7) * LearnThings Secondary School for Kenya is at http://192.168.100.1/Secondary-Kenya/Home/default
 * 8) *Note: Not all servers have all of this content. The content on the server depends on the licensing paid for by the client.
 * 9) To create a shortcut to the content, click on the blank page icon next to the address bar. Drag this to the desktop [[image:XP-IHLshare06.gif|none|400px]]
 * 10) Right click the desktop icon and rename the icon to a meaningful name like LearnThings Primary School.
 * 11) Double click the new desktop icon to ensure it opens the content.
 * 12) For each different kind of content, you will need to create an icon. For example, if IHL has Wikipedia, LearnThings Primary and LearnThings Secondary, the client should have 3 desktop icons; one for each section of content.

Installing a Printer on IHL
Generally it is best to install the printer on the server, instead of one of the client machines. For the printer to be accessed by other machines, the machine the printer plugs into must be on. While not all client machines may be on all the time, usually the server is. To install a printer on IHL, see the IHL Manual, Chapter 10 Printing

Configuring Printing for the XP Clients

 * 1) Start > Printers and Faxes > Add a printer
 * 2) The Add Printer Wizard will open > Next
 * 3) Click A network printer, or a printer attached to another computer > Next
 * 4) Click Connect to a printer on the Internet or on a home or office network:
 * 5) For the URL, type  http://192.168.100.1:631/printers/ 
 * 6) * refers to the name you gave the printer when configuring the server.
 * 7) No matter which printer you install, choose Generic under Manufacturer and MS Publisher Imagesetter under Printers > OK
 * 8) After XP finishes coping files, a window appears saying the printer was installed > Finish

Time
Set the client machines to sync time from the server
 * 1) As the inveneo user, double click the clock in the task bar
 * 2) Click Internet Time tab. In the server box, set it to 192.168.100.1
 * 3) Set the correct timezone. Note:  You will need to set the correct timezone on IHL as well.
