Administrator Guide

• Use the screensaver — If an administrator has set LockTerminal=2 for the ScreenSaver parameter, and when the screensaver

is activated, then the thin client is locked. To unlock the thin client, enter the login password in the unlock dialog box. However, you

cannot see the wallpaper while using the unlock dialog box.

Signing off and shutting down

Use the Shutdown dialog box to select the available option you want:

• Classic Desktop—Click Shutdown in the Connect Manager or Desktop Menu.

• Zero Desktop—Click the Shutdown icon on the Zero Toolbar.

NOTE: You can also configure automatic behavior after all desktop sessions are closed by using the Remote Connections

dialog box.

Battery information

This section is applicable to the Wyse 5470 Thin Client.

The battery indicator is displayed on the system tray in the classic mode. The battery indicator is displayed on the zero toolbar in the zero

mode.

The following table contains the battery indicators:

Table 5. Battery indicators

Battery status Icon

While charging with the AC adapter

Battery 90% - 100% without connecting the AC

adapter

Battery 50% - 89% without connecting the AC adapter

Battery 25% - 49% without connecting the AC adapter

Battery 9% - 24% without connecting the AC adapter

Battery 0% - 8% without connecting the AC adapter

• When the battery is lower than 12%, a notification is displayed at the right-bottom with the remaining percentage.

• Plugging in the AC adapter to charge the device increases brightness by 10% and disconnecting the AC adapter decreases brightness

by 10%.

NOTE:

If you adjust the brightness after disconnecting the AC adapter, the brightness does not change after the

adapter is plugged in. In this case, the current brightness replaces the default value.

• After you plug in or plug out the AC adapter, it takes approximately 5 seconds for the battery icon to be updated.

• By default, the critical battery level is 5%. When the battery reaches the critical level, ThinOS is turned off automatically. You must

plug in the AC power to power on the thin client. You can use the INI parameter to change the auto power off settings. For more

information about the INI parameters, see the Dell Wyse ThinOS INI Reference Guide at www.dell.com/support.

Sleep mode

The sleep mode enables the power-saving state and quickly resumes full power operations without loss of data.

The USB interface is closed in sleep mode. All USB devices such as USB drives, Bluetooth, audio devices, video devices, and camera are

reinitialized after resuming from sleep mode.

The wired network, wireless network, and VPN are disconnected in sleep mode. However, the network configurations are saved.

All the ThinOS configurations—file server, INI, VDI configuration, network configuration, and so on—are saved automatically in sleep

mode. The INI parameters are not reloaded from the file server after resuming from sleep mode.

The following windows are not closed in sleep mode:
