ThinOS 8.6 INI Reference Guide at www.dell.com/support.
Table 11. INI parameters
INI parameters Description
SignOn={yes}
[EnableScSSPR={yes, no}]
[EnableScPinChange={yes, no}]
This parameter hides the smart card pin change icon on setting the user INI to
EnableScSSPR=no. If the user INI is set to EnableScPinChange=no, then the
smart card pin change radio button is not displayed. The default value is set to yes in
both the parameters. Ensure that the SignOn parameter is set to yes.
DelayReboot={yes} This parameter enables the user to delay the reboot of the thin client when the
configurations are applied from the Wyse management Suite and all changes made are
applied on the next reboot. By default, the value is set to no.
PRIVILEGE={none, Low, High}
[EnableHomeWireless={yes, no}]
The EnableHomewireless parameter allows to configure the wireless network setup
even when the user INI is set to PRIVILEGE=None. By default, the value is set to no.
