New and enhanced features
Sleep mode
The sleep mode enables the power-saving state and the thin client quickly resumes full power operations without loss of data.
ThinOS VDI broker and sessions log off due to security concern. You must log in to the broker sessions after resuming from
sleep mode.
● To manually enter the sleep mode, open the ThinOS shut down menu, select the Sleep option and click OK. The device
automatically enters sleep mode when ThinOS is idle for twenty minutes. This is the default value. You can set the idle time
in the System Preferences dialog box. Sleep mode timer starts after screen is turned off by the screen saver. The screen
flashes for one second before automatically entering the sleep mode.
● To resume from ThinOS sleep mode:
○ Press the power button.
○ Click the USB mouse or move the wireless USB mouse.
NOTE: This feature is disabled by default. Use INI parameter wakeonusb=yes to enable the feature.
○ Press any key on the USB keyboard.
NOTE: This feature is disabled by default. Use INI parameter wakeonusb=yes to enable the feature.
○ Use the Wake on LAN feature to wake up from sleep mode.
Important notes
Sleep mode limitations
● When using more than one display on a Wyse 5070 Extended Thin Client with different resolution settings, resuming from
sleep mode may result in a distorted display. Disabling the sleep mode fixes the issue. To disable the sleep mode, perform
either of the following steps:
○ On the ThinOS client desktop, go to System Preference > General and select Disable from the timer drop-down list of
the After Turn Off Screen option.
○ Use the following INI parameter sleep=no.
● If you have enabled the USB Wake up option, clicking or moving the mouse pointer, or pressing any key on the keyboard
resumes the thin client from sleep immediately.
● If the Bluetooth scan window is open, the thin client cannot enter the sleep mode.
● Only the USB 2.0 ports support the wake on USB.
