New and enhanced features
Update RTME package to 2.5
RTME package—RTME.i386.pkg—is updated to version 2.5.49272. For information about installation and compatibility, see the
Citrix RTOP version 2.5 documentation at www.citrix.com/support.
Limitations:
● ThinOS RTME package update does not support hardware acceleration. For more information, see the Citrix documentation
at docs.citrix.com.
● Answer/Hold /End call options are not supported by using Bluetooth headset button.
Package version check
After you install packages, the ThinOS Lite client restarts and verifies the version of the installed packages. If you have not
installed the latest package version, an event log is generated. You can view the logs on the Event Log tab in the System
Information window.
Telnet
Telnet is a terminal emulation client that allows you to connect to a remote host or device.
In ThinOS Lite version 2.6, the Telnet tab is added in the Troubleshooting window. When you enter the hostname and click
Connect, the Telnet window is displayed and the Troubleshooting window is closed automatically.
Report locally attached devices to Wyse Device Manager
This feature reports locally attached devices such as monitor and USB device details to the Wyse Device Manager (WDM)
server. This information is displayed in the device detail section on the WDM console.
Limitation—ThinOS supports more than 20 USB devices through the USB hub. However, WDM server shows only 10 devices.
Vertical Synchronization
Vertical Synchronization or V-Sync enables the ThinOS Lite client to synchronize the frame rate of a video with the monitor
refresh rate to avoid screen tearing. Screen tearing occurs when the graphic processor delivers display frames more than your
monitor can process. As a result, the image appears to be cut in half. Enabling VSync synchronizes the output video of the
graphics card to the refresh rate of the monitor. In ThinOS Lite version 2.6, V-Sync is enabled by default.

Limitation—The ThinOS local client desktop background flashes for a second when RDP session desktop is connected with
H.264-AVC444 enabled.
Okta integration through Citrix NetScaler
ThinOS Lite supports Okta through the Citrix NetScaler Gateway 11.0 or later. The Okta RADIUS Agent is used for user
authentication.
For more information about configuring Citrix NetScaler Gateway to use the Okta RADIUS Agent, see the Citrix NetScaler
Gateway Radius Configuration Guide at help.okta.com.
