Getting started
Use the following information to quickly learn the basics and get started using your zero client:
• Connecting to a Remote Server
• Using Your Desktop
• Conguring Zero Client Settings and Connection Settings
• Connecting to a Monitor
• Connecting to a Printer
• Locking the Zero Client
• Signing O and Shutting Down
• Additional Getting Started Details
ThinOS Lite supports the headless mode that enables you to boot the operating system without a monitor.
ThinOS Lite is centrally managed and congured using INI les to automatically push updates and any desired default conguration to all
supported zero clients in your environment. For more information, see Central Conguration: Automating Updates and Congurations.
If no INI les are detected, you can use local dialog boxes on each zero client to make available congurations. ThinOS Lite saves many of
these locally congured settings such as resolution, mouse, and keyboard to persist after reboot. However, once INI les are detected,
rebooting causes ThinOS Lite to become stateless while ignoring locally congured settings after a reboot and then the settings contained
in the INI le will be used.
Conguring ThinOS Lite using First Boot Wizard
First Boot Wizard runs the rst time you start a new thin client. The thin client launches the out-of-box experience application before you
enter the ThinOS Lite desktop, and allows you to perform a set of tasks, such as, conguring system preferences, setting up the internet
connectivity, loading USB congurations, conguring management software, and conguring broker connections. The thin client congures
settings that are applied during the rst-boot experience, and processes before your log into ThinOS Lite. If you are an existing thin client
user, and you have upgraded to ThinOS Lite v2.5 or later, then you can reset your thin client to factory default settings to enter First Boot
Wizard.
