● Press any key on the USB keyboard.
NOTE: By default, this feature is disabled. To enable the feature:
○ On the Wyse 5470 Thin Client, connect the AC adapter to the thin client, and use INI parameter wakeonusb=yes.
○ On the Wyse 5470 All-in-One Thin Client, use the INI parameter wakeonusb=yes.
● Press any key on the integrated keyboard. This option is applicable only to the Wyse 5470 Thin Client.
● Use the Wake on LAN feature to wake up from the sleep mode.
NOTE: On the Wyse 5470 Thin Client, you must connect the AC adapter to the thin client.
On the Wyse 5470 Thin Client, when you resume the system from the sleep mode, the system is first turned off and then turned
on to load the ThinOS operating system (cold reboot). This behavior is observed in the following scenarios:
● If the system has entered the sleep mode for 1 hour.
NOTE: You can change the timer setting using the INI parameter Sleep=yes, MaxSleepPeriod=[0-255].
● If the Dell Docking Station WD 19 is plugged in or out, and if there is a display attached to the docking station.

Zero interactive desktop guidelines
The Zero Desktop has a default background with the Zero Toolbar at the left of the screen.
The following network icons are added to the taskbar:
● Wireless—
● Wired—
● Default—
The respective icon is displayed based on the connection type and if there is no connection, the default icon is displayed. The
network icon is displayed irrespective of whether the Ethernet cable is connected to the thin client. Clicking the network icon
displays the Network Setup window that can be used to configure your network settings.
From ThinOS 8.6_710 release onwards, a new INI parameter EnableHomeWireless is added. The INI parameter allows a user
to access the Network Setup window when the privilege is set to None. For more information, see Dell Wyse ThinOS Version
