Getting started
Use the following information to quickly learn the basics and get started using your thin client:
• Conguring ThinOS using the rst boot wizard
• Connecting to a remote server
• Using your desktop
• Conguring thin client settings and connection settings
• Connecting to a printer
• Connecting to a monitor
• Locking the thin client
• Signing o and shutting down
• Additional getting started details
NOTE:
ThinOS is centrally managed and congured using INI les to automatically push updates and any desired default conguration
to all supported thin clients in your environment — see Central conguration: Automating updates and congurations.
If no INI les are detected, you can use local dialog boxes on each thin client to make available congurations. ThinOS will save
many of these locally congured settings such as resolution, mouse, and keyboard to persist after reboot. However, once INI
les are detected, rebooting causes ThinOS to become stateless while ignoring locally congured settings after a reboot and
then the settings contained in the INI le will be used.
Conguring ThinOS using the First Boot Wizard
The First Boot Wizard runs the rst time you start a new thin client with the ThinOS version 8.5. The thin client starts the First Boot
Wizard application before you enter the ThinOS system desktop, and allows you to perform a set of tasks, such as, conguring
system preferences, setting up the internet connectivity, loading USB congurations, conguring management software, and
conguring broker connections.
If you are an existing thin client user, and you have upgraded to the ThinOS version 8.5, then you can reset your thin client to factory
default settings to enter the First Boot Wizard.
The following owcharts depict the workow of First Boot Wizard:
