The graphical user interface automatically starts after power-on. Your network settings are automatically retrieved via DHCP, the graphics subsystem is launched with default parameters such as the best available screen resolution for your monitor(s), as the system displays the [[NoTouch Receiver First Time Startup Screen|startup screen]], most notably - the large window in the center of the screen - is the "First Time Wizard":

The next step allows In most cases the system can detect your location and will try to set preselect the right keyboard layout and language settings for you. If that does not work, please choose the settings manually: .
# your [[General parameters|location and language]] setting (the "locale"), as well as the [[keyboard]] layout,
# your [[time and time zone|time zone]]
# the screen resolution (most people will leave the default "auto" as it is)

The language setting is passed on to local applications and it depends on them what they can make out of it or not. NoTouch Receiver has German and French translations, some programs may offer more (or less) translations - default is English in any case. However, since end users typically don't see much of the local desktop, this is not a big issue. The keyboard layout however is a big issue, don't forget to set it.=== A first connection ===

What is a thin desktop without a [[Connection|connection to a server]]? If you already have your server farm in up and running, you can configure a connection (sometimes referred to as "session" as well) right now. You need to know how you will connect and where you want to connect to.
'''The wizard is designed to be simple, so it offers only a very limited amount of connection types here. However, NoTouch Receiver is a very flexible OS, in the actual system configuration many more connection options are available! [[Image:NoTouchOS-en-FirstTimeWizard-Step3-Connection.jpg|none|600px]]'''
Typically, "how" to connect refers to a protocol (such as RDP, ICA, PCoIP) or a specific client application (rdesktop RDP client, Citrix Receiver, VMware View client, etc). "Where" to connect to refers to a host name, an IP address or a URL, depending on the "how". See more about connections here: [[Connection]]s
