   BOSâNOVA® LTC Series

Thin Client Terminals with 7x the Processing Power

The BOSâNOVA LTC Series of thin client terminals are simple to configure locally or remotely. These thin clients provide a highly cost-effective access to Windows desktop applications residing on a Microsoft Windows NT/2000 Terminal Server for: Data entry Point of sale Training ISPs Web kiosks Central configuration and user management drastically reduces cost of ownership, while the versatility of the hardware platform and customization capabilities increase user productivity. The high end LTC-600 provides almost twice the processing power and up to seven times the performance when compared to industry-standard Windows CE-based thin clients!

BOSâNOVA Thin Client Advantages

Simple to configure either locally or remotely using the Remote Terminal Administrator Windows® 2000/XP look & feel with Linux® OS and Via 533Mhz (LTC-600) or Via 400Mhz (LTC-400) processors for best performance and connection flexibility on the market  3 year warranty, Advanced Exchange Embedded TN5250e and TN3270e based terminal emulation software for connection to IBM iSeries (AS/400) and zSeries (S/390) systems, employing the best fonts in the industry Connections to Windows Terminal Servers and Citrix servers using the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) or Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) client software Support for 802.11b (11Mbps) and 802.11g (54Mpbs) wireless communication*, and USB-attached barcode equipment, PCMCIA slot*, parallel printer port, two serial ports, and two USB ports Keyboard support for full-featured 122-key keyboard*, enabling efficient work with host applications, as well as mouse port for connection versatility Embedded Mozilla browser with Sun JVM (compatible with IBM Lotus Notes Domino) and Pop3 email; or Firebird with JVM, one of the fastest browsers in operation; and support for Macromedia Flash Includes Adobe Acrobat Reader for accurate display of PDF files 64 MB of Disk on Module (DOM), allowing localized customization of desktop and applications Centralized configuration, management, and security via the Remote Terminal Administrator utility, for low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) *  Optional

     Versatile Hardware Platform with High-speed Processing

A versatile combination of features provides the flexibility to support virtually any application with the BOSâNOVA LTC Series. The entry-level BOSâNOVA LTC-400 thin client has twice the CPU performance, twice the memory (128MB), and twice the capacity (64MB DOM) of the recently introduced SiS550-based 'Mini' line of products promoted by Wyse and other thin client providers, while the BOSâNOVA LTC-600 practically doubles the industry-standard 300 Mhz speed to provide top performance, even when browsing the Web. This is especially important in a thin client environment where, unlike Windows environments, Web pages are not cached and need to be reloaded each time, over the LAN. Both models are equipped with support for 1280x1024 24-bit color SVGA display, and have one parallel printer port, two serial ports, two USB ports, keyboard port, mouse port, 10/100 base-T Ethernet interface, and an audio out line. Options include a full-featured 122-key keyboard designed for use with midrange applications, smart card reader for personalization of terminal applications and permissions, PCMCIA slot, and support for 802.11b wireless communication.

  Centralized Management  As with any Windows Server product, the system administrator manages the accounts the Thin Client Terminals use. A major benefit is that since all applications are run from the server, there is no local installation or maintenance of software applications at the client workstation. Furthermore, since all user data and files are resident on the server, central backup is possible, thereby freeing the user of this task.
  Enterprise Class Remote Administration

While based on the high-performance Linux OS, the BOSâNOVA LTC Series provides the comfort of a Windows 2000/XP user interface

The BOSâNOVA LTC Series of thin client terminals is simple to configure either locally or remotely using the Remote Terminal Administrator (RTA), which enables the following tasks: Complete terminal configuration from a central location, including terminal emulation settings User lock-out from configuration changes, keeping the cost of ownership down Scheduling of firmware updates Shadowing of the user's desktop Cloning of user environments Control over which applications can be run on a particular terminal

     Windows & Citrix Connectivity  All of the BOSâNOVA terminals provide connections to Windows Terminal Servers and Citrix servers using the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) or Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) client software. RDP connects to Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server Edition (TSE) or Windows 2000 Server, while ICA connects to TSE or Windows 2000 servers with Citrix Metaframe extensions, including Metaframe XP.
    Terminal Emulation

The BOSâNOVA LTC Series includes embedded TN5250 and TN3270 based terminal emulation software for up to five sessions in connection to IBM iSeries (AS/400) and zSeries (S/390) systems, employing the best fonts in the industry. It also supports a full-featured 122-key keyboard*, enabling efficient work with host applications. Both models also support Telnet with SSH, VT100, and Wyse 60 emulations. * Optional

     Benefits of the Linux Platform  While the desktop has a Windows 2000/XP look and feel, both the BOSâNOVA LTC-400 and BOSâNOVA LTC-600 models are based on Linux. This versatile and user-friendly operating system provides additional capabilities not available with Windows-based terminals running Windows CE, such as:

	Scaleable Windows
	Java Virtual Machine
	Embedded browser with JVM that can be used as a Domino/Notes client
	X Windows connectivity to other Linux and Unix servers
	Seamless access to applications running on Unix based servers
