Getting started
Use the following information to quickly learn the basics and get started using your zero client:
● Connecting to a Remote Server
● Using Your Desktop
● Configuring Zero Client Settings and Connection Settings
● Connecting to a Monitor
● Connecting to a Printer
● Locking the Zero Client
● Signing Off and Shutting Down
● Additional Getting Started Details
ThinOS Lite supports the headless mode that enables you to boot the operating system without a monitor.
ThinOS Lite is centrally managed and configured using INI files to automatically push updates and any desired default
configuration to all supported zero clients in your environment. For more information, see Central Configuration: Automating
Updates and Configurations.
If no INI files are detected, you can use local dialog boxes on each zero client to make available configurations. ThinOS Lite
saves many of these locally configured settings such as resolution, mouse, and keyboard to persist after reboot. However, once
INI files are detected, rebooting causes ThinOS Lite to become stateless while ignoring locally configured settings after a reboot
and then the settings contained in the INI file will be used.
Configuring ThinOS Lite using First Boot Wizard
First Boot Wizard runs the first time you start a new thin client. The thin client launches the out-of-box experience application
before you enter the ThinOS Lite desktop, and allows you to perform a set of tasks, such as, configuring system preferences,
setting up the internet connectivity, loading USB configurations, configuring management software, and configuring broker
connections. The thin client configures settings that are applied during the first-boot experience, and processes before your log
into ThinOS Lite. If you are an existing thin client user, and you have upgraded to ThinOS Lite v2.5 or later, then you can reset
your thin client to factory default settings to enter First Boot Wizard.
The following flowcharts represent the First Boot Wizard workflow:
