The NCD ThinSTARs require that they have the ThinPATH X windows module loaded in order to connect to a Linux or Unix server using the X protocol. Since they are Windows Based Terminals they contain Windows CE on flash as an Operating System rather than Linux. This is because at the time they were developed RDP was a proprietary protocol and Microsoft wouldn't allow RDP on a non Windows device. Nevertheless, they won't work with LTSP. They will, however, allow you to do an XDM login to a Unix or Linux host if you have the ThinPATH Xwindows installed.

In that case, you should be able to tell it to get an XDMCP login from the LTSP server. Probably fairly easy to do, if you can figure out how to get into the setup screen of the terminal.
