Enable Kiosk Mode

Follow these steps to enable Kiosk mode on the Micro 4 and Neo R:

  • Open the Start menu of the thin client. Click Settings, and then click the Enable Kiosk Mode option.

  • The system asks for a password to enable Kiosk mode. Enter Thinux as the password. The system then asks you to reboot. Click Yes.

  • After the reboot, the RDP connection window opens. Click Configure and click connection number 1, or any other number, to make changes.

  • The configuration window opens, where you configure the server IP. In the Server address field, enter the IP address of the server you want to connect to.

  • If your network has a domain name, enter it in the Domain field.

  • In the Username Password field, enter the username and password of the Windows/Linux user account you want to connect to.

  • For the thin client to connect to the server automatically whenever you power on the system, set the Autoconnect option to Yes. Otherwise, leave it set to No.

  • Click OK to Save your configuration. The main RDP connection window opens again and shows your configured server information. Select the connection number and click OK to connect to the remote server.
