NOTE:
If both PNAgent and a user prole are being used, the username must be dened in the Windows domain that is used. Also the
password must be the same for the domain and the prole.
Setting up the automatic congurations and updates
For a Dell thin client running Dell Wyse ThinLinux to successfully access INI les and update itself from a server, you must set up the server
with the correct folder structure where the INI les and other update les are located, direct the thin client to the server, and then reboot
or start the thin client.
After DHCP and servers are congured and available, the thin client checks at each restart to see whether or not any updates are available
on a predened server. If updates are available, the updates are automatically installed.
NOTE: DCHP Option #161 species the server URL, DCHP Option #162 species the root path to the server.
This involves two tasks:
1 Preparing the Root Directory and Folder Structure on the Server
2 Directing the Thin Client to the Server
Preparing the root directory and folder structure on the server
To prepare the root directory and folder structure on the server:
1 Set up the following folder structure on your server under the C:/inetpub/ftproot folder for FTP or C:/inetpub/wwwroot folder for
HTTP or HTTPS and place your INI les and other necessary les inside the structure as noted.
2 This list describes the folder structure, starting with the root directory.
Table 18. Root directory
/wyse/ The root directory. It stores the wlx2 folder and the add-ons
folder.
/wyse/wlx2 The main INI conguration folder. It stores the following:
• wlx.ini le or MAC.ini le
• bitmap folder
• certs folder
• ini folder
/wyse/wlx2/bitmap The folder where you can place custom images you plan to use.
/wyse/wlx2/certs The folder where you can place the CA certicates that can be
imported to a thin client.
NOTE: To import the certicates to the thin clients, use the
Certs and ImportCerts INI parameters.
/wyse/addons The folder where you can place the add-ons you want to use. It
also stores the directory le and the *.rpm packages available to
be installed on the thin client. The directory le should list all
available add-ons. The directory le is required in the addons
folder to guarantee that add-ons are properly located.
