INI parameters
The following table provides the list of INI parameters:
NOTE: Every INI parameter is associated with a parent INI parameter. Use these INI parameters along with the
corresponding parent INI parameters.
Table 58. INI parameters
INI parameters Description
[BlockPhones={yes, no, 1, 0}] This parameter enables you to stop the Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) devices from
redirecting into the session when you set the parameter to 1 or yes.
[eap_packet_timeout={}] This parameter defines the timeout value of the EAP process. By default, the value
is set to 3 s. If the thin client does not receive the EAP response packet from the
access point in a specified time period, it considers this EAP process as timeout and
failure.
[WlanReconnectCount={4, 20000}] This parameter enables you to specify the number of times the thin client scans for
the hidden SSID when the access points in a wireless connection take longer time to
reboot.
[WlanBeaconTimeout={0, None}] This parameter enables you to set the number of seconds to wait, in order to initiate
roaming after beacon loss timeout in a wireless connection. By default, the value is set
to 2 s.
[WlanNextRoam={0, None}] This parameter specifies the minimum time that is taken between two consecutive
roaming sessions in a wireless connection. By default, the value is set to 5 s.
[TrackpadDisableOnType={yes, no}] This parameter disables the trackpad while typing. By default, the value is set to no.
[TouchScreenDisable={yes, no}] This parameter allows you to disable the touch screen of the Dell Wyse 5470 Thin
Client. By default, the value is set to no.
[EnableMFA={yes, no}] This parameter allows you to enable the MFA option in the Amazon WorkSpaces login
window. If this parameter is enabled, the automatic sign-on is disabled on the system.
By default, the value is set to no.
[UseRegistrationCode={yes, no}] This parameter enables you to enter a registration code as the broker address instead
of IP/URL. This parameter works only with Amazon WorkSpaces. By default, the value
is set to no.
[BitmapsMap={yes, no}] This parameter enables you to map integrated bitmaps to customized bitmaps.
[HorizonIsClassic={yes, no}] This parameter enables you to set the VMware mode in classic mode.
[WordWrap={yes, no}] This parameter allows you to enable the word wrap feature. Enabling this feature
wraps the text to display correctly. By default, the value is set to no.
