Administrator Guide

INI parameters work with wnos.ini file. You can also use Wyse Management Suite to manage the configuration.

• Citrix zero mode—When you configure ThinOS in Citrix zero mode, the device searches for xen.ini file, and loads the Citrix zero

mode. If the xen.ini file is not available, then the wnos.ini file is used during configuration. If you need to switch from the Citrix zero

mode, then you must use the wnos.ini file during configuration.

• VMware zero mode—When you configure ThinOS in VMware zero mode, the device loads the VMware zero mode.

NOTE: VMware wallpaper is used in the VMware zero mode.

Classic desktop features

This section includes information about classic interactive desktop, shortcut menu, desktop menu, and Connect Manager.

Classic interactive desktop guidelines

The Classic desktop has a Dell Wyse default background with a horizontal task bar at the bottom of the screen.

Use the following guidelines:

• Icons representing available server connections and published applications are displayed on the background. If you pause the mouse

pointer over an icon, the information about the connection will be displayed. Right-clicking on an icon opens the Connection Settings

dialog box which displays additional information about the connection. The number of icons that can be displayed on the desktop

depends on the desktop resolution and administrator configuration.

• A server connection and published application can be opened by double-clicking a desktop icon or a user can navigate to the desktop

icon they want by using tab key and pressing Enter to initiate the connection.

• Right-clicking on the desktop provides a shortcut menu.

• Clicking the username or clicking on the desktop, opens the desktop menu.

NOTE:

• Username is the user who is logged-on and is located at the lower-left pane of the task bar.

• If configured to display by an administrator, the volume control is displayed in the right corner of the taskbar and the

current time and date are shown when the cursor is placed on the time; the thin client is capable of synchronizing its

clock to time provided by a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server.

Using the Shortcut menu

To use the Shortcut menu:

1. Log in as administrator.

2. Right-click on your desktop

The Shortcut menu is displayed.

3. On the Shortcut menu, you are able to view and use the following options:

a) Administrator Mode—Allows administrators to configure various settings locally on thin client.

b) Hide all windows—Brings the full desktop to the foreground.

c) Copy to clipboard—Copies an image of the full screen, current window or event log to the clipboard. The clipboard contents can

then be pasted to an ICA or an RDP session. You can copy full screen or current window to clipboard, and can export the

screenshots using the Export Screenshot option in Troubleshooting.

d) Purge clipboard—Discards the contents of the clipboard in order to free up memory.

e) Lock Terminal—Puts the thin client in a locked state if the user has signed on to the system with a password. The thin client can

only be unlocked using the same password.

f) Group Sessions—Enables you to open more than three ICA, RDP, PCoIP, Blast or ICA seamless sessions. The sessions are

displayed as a group on the taskbar.

Using the desktop menu

To use the desktop menu:

1. Click your desktop or click your User Name.
