Downloading and Using Sample INI Files

ThinOS Sample INI les are available from Dell and can be modied to suit the individual connection prole needs for your users. These

sample les are annotated to allow you to use them as a starter set that you can modify to get your le server up and running.

To download and use the les:

1 From the le server machine on which you want to load the INI les for use, go to the Knowledge Base at www.dell.com/wyse/

knowledgebase

2 On the Knowledge Base page, type sample.ini in the search text box, and then click Go.

3 In the resulting solutions Title list, click the reference guide link for the ThinOS version you are using.

4 In the resulting attachments Name list, click the Sample User INI link for the zip le you want to open, for example,

Sample_User_INI_August2011.zip, and use the File Download dialog box.

After downloading the self-extracting sample INI le to the le server you want, double-click the Sample_ini.exe le, and then modify

the le using an ASCII text editor as needed for your use.
