Configuring the proxy settings
The network Proxy tab supports Wyse Management Suite, HDX Flash Redirection, and RealTime Multimedia Engine (RTME).
Supported protocols—HDX FR, WMS and RTME
● For Wyse Management Suite: HTTP, HTTPS and Socks5 (recommended) protocols are supported.
● For RTME: HTTP, and HTTPS protocols are supported.
1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Network Setup.
The Network Setup dialog box is displayed.
2. Click the Proxy tab, and do the following:
a. Select the Enable Proxy Settings on DNS/DHCP Server check box to use DHCP option tags or DNS records for
defining the Wyse Management Suite proxy (SOCKS5) information. By default, this option is selected. You can fetch
proxy settings using the DHCP option or DNS SRV records during the system bootup. The DNS record takes precedence
over the DHCP option tag. There are two ways to enable or disable this option—ThinOS GUI and INI parameter.
b. Enter the HTTP proxy port number or HTTPS proxy port number, User name and Password in the respective fields.
However, credential pass through ($UN/$PW) is not recommended because it starts before user sign on.
Wyse Management Suite uses both HTTP/HTTPS and MQTT protocols to communicate with the WMS/MQTT server.
However, the HTTP proxy cannot redirect TCP packages to the MQTT server which requires a SOCKS5 proxy server. If
there is only HTTP server available, then the real-time command that requires MQTT does not work.
HTTP/HTTPS proxy default port is 808, and SOCKS5 proxy default port is 1080.
c. Select the Use the first proxy server for all protocols check box to allow all the protocols to use the same server in
the HTTP Proxy fields. Both HTTP and HTTPS proxy use the same host and port, and SOCKS5 proxy agent uses HTTP
host with default Socks5 port (1080).
If SOCKS5 proxy is configured, then WMS proxy uses the SOCKS5 only. If SOCKS5 is not configured, then WMS proxy
searches for alternative protocols, for example, HTTP in the configuration.
