[enableEEE={0,1}] This parameter enables or disables ENERGYSTAR 8 on your ThinOS-based client. By
default, the value is set to 1.
[Microphone={yes, no}] This parameter enables or disables microphone devices on the Wyse 5470 All-in-One
Thin Client. The default value in BIOS is set to yes.
[InternalSpeaker={yes, no}] This parameter enables or disables internal speakers on the Wyse 5470 All-in-One Thin
Client. The default value in BIOS is set to yes.
[OneSignTimeout=0 to 30] This parameter enables you to set the timeout for the OneSign login window. The
value range is 0–30 s. By default, the value is set to 20 s. 0 means no timeout and the
