The speciality of Rangee ThinClients is the Rangee embedded Linux Operating System. Its specifically designed as an Operating System for ThinClients.

The modular build-up of RangeeLinux makes it possible to add as many software-modules to the Operating System as needed. The firmware contains the main Linux Operating System and the drivers for the ThinClient.

The connection protocols. RDP-Remote Desktop or Citrix ICA, are dedicated software-modules. They will only be added to the firmware if needed. This saves memory and leads to a clearly and neatly arranged configuration, because only those software-modules will be installed that are de facto needed.

The update process is also easy, since it is only the Client that needs to be updated, and not the entire software on the ThinClient.

Special Features:

Clearly arranged configuration:
  Fast and easy configuration of ThinClients and Terminalserver connections. Configurations can be saved and restored if needed. For configuring Rangee Linux ThinClients there is no need for any Linux knowledge at all. The Rangee GUI does everything for you.

   
Administration from everywhere:
  RangeeLinux makes it possible to administer a ThinClient from any workstation. Each ThinClient is endowed with a Webportal. The administrator establishes a connection to the Rangee ThinClient by enterring the IP-address in a webbrowser. After entering his password he can adjust all configurations of the ThinClient.

   
Remote Management Software:
  Rangee offers with the TCMS, the Thin Client Managment Server, a simple and safe solution for the remote administration of numerous ThinClients, simultaneously. ThinClients put into a 'group' will get the exact same configuration. Also, configurations can be passed on to 'subgroups'. Additionally, the TCMS offers the possibility of scheduling actions. This way updates and others things can be done during out of office times.

Widescreen Resolutions:
  Rangee Linux supports all standard and widescreen resoultions. With automatic detection Rangee Linux detects the possible resoultion supported by the display. There is also the possibility of using a user-defined resoultion for special formats, such as Full HD at 1920x1080 and others.

   
Multi Display Support:
  RangeeLinux offers simple settings to run multiple displays on one ThinClient. This way Rangee ThinClients equipped with two graphic-ports can handle two displays with two single-sessions on each display or one session spread over two displays. Also Rangee supports the Matrox Epica TC2/TC4 graphics-cards in some of its ThinClients and in PCs with the PC-Stick solution. In this case you can use four displays on one ThinClient or PC.

   
Printer Support:
  Printers can be connected  (over USB and parallel port) to a Rangee ThinClient, locally . They can also be used as a network-printer, which can be enabled for the different terminal-sessions. A Rangee works with JetDirect, CUPS and a few more printing standards. The printer-driver can be installed on the Terminalserver and also locally on the ThinClient, if it is needed.

   
Drive Mapping:
  RangeeLinux allows the mapping of Disk Drives. So you can use USB-sticks, external CD-Roms and other drives in your Terminalserver connections. Drives can be dicovered automatically - hence not every single drive needs to be installed manually. Just connect a USB-stick to a ThinClient and its done! Also digital cameras, which are detected as mass-storage, can be used via the USB port. The administrator also has the possibility to lock the USB-ports for drives on a ThinClient .

   
Languages & Keyboard-layouts:
  The Rangee ThinClients' language settings can be altered without a reboot. The languages "German" and "English" are offered in the configuration-menu.  Nearly all different keyboard-layouts are integrated in Rangee Linux. Remarkably, also the Swiss layout and a layout for special "Trimodal" keyboards work out of the box.

   
DATEV SmartCard Authentification:
  With the flexibility of RangeeLinux it is possible to use SmartCard Authentification for DATEV in the RDP-Remote Desktop Protocol. The internal Smartcard-reader, Kobil PinPads and Cherry keyboards with integrated Smartcard-readers will be supported for that purpose. Please call our Support to get the correct product-ID for these Smartcard-readers.



Different Software Versions:   Software-Modules:

Rangee groups its ThinClients into three different software versions. Then actual name of the ThinClient finds its origin in one of our three software versions:

R-Modell
S-Modell
X-Modell

The software of the R-Modell contains the main Linux Operating System and one software-module of the customers own choice from the list of software-modules.

The Software of the S-Modell contains the Rangee Linux Operating System and the main software-moduls Citrix ICA and Microsoft RDP. Most customers ask for this version, since these are the most favorite connection-clients for Terminalservers.

The Software of the X-Modell contains the Rangee Linux Operating System and all available Rangee software-modules. The modules ICA, RDP, XDMCP and Mozilla Firefox3.0 with plugins (Java etc.) are already installed. All other software-moduls/clients can be downloaded and installed from our servers.
 
Besides the firmware, Rangee offers various software-modules for many different applications. Here you find a short overview:

Remote Desktop RDP
Citrix ICA
XDMCP
Nomachine NX
GoGlobal
2X
Tarantella
Ericom Terminal Emulation 3270/5250
