Administrator Guide

Login dialog box features
While the Login dialog box allows you to log on to the server, it also allows you to:
• Obtain system information.
• Access Admin Mode to configure thin client settings.
• Change or reset your own password, and unlock your account.
• Open the Shutdown dialog box by using CTRL+ALT+DELETE.
In the Login dialog box, use the following guidelines:
• System Information—Click the Sys Info button to open the System Information dialog box. You can view the thin client system
information such as System Version, IP Address, information on devices connected to your thin client, event logs and so on.
• Admin Mode—Click the Admin Mode button to configure various settings locally on the thin client other than broker desktop
configurations. For example, you can choose to manually configure the Citrix XenBroker Server URL or override the URL that is
centrally defined by file servers by using the
Remote Connections dialog box as described in Remote Connections.
• Classic desktop—Use the Leave Administrator Mode option in the Shutdown dialog box.
• Zero desktop—Use the Leave Administrator Mode option in the Shutdown dialog box, or use the Leave Administrator
Mode icon (X) in the upper-right pane of the System Settings menu.
NOTE: By default the Admin Mode button is not displayed on the log on dialog box. You can display it by selecting
the Show local admin button check box in the Shutdown dialog box.
NOTE: By default there is no password needed for the Admin Mode button use. You can password protect the Admin
Mode button (to require login credentials) by using the AdminMode parameter in a wnos.ini file, see Dell Wyse
ThinOS INI Guide.
• Shutdown—Click the Shutdown button to open and use the Shutdown dialog box to sign off, shut down, restart, reset the system
setting to factory defaults, and so on.
• Account Self-Service—Click the Account Self-Service icon shown when configured using the AccountSelfServiceoption of
the
PasswordServer INI parameter to open and use the Account Self-Service dialog box to change or reset your own password
and unlock your account. For information on INI parameter, see Dell Wyse ThinOS INI Guide.
This process assumes that the security questions and answers have been pre-registered by the user inside their Windows environment.
Users must use HTTPS (not HTTP) for an account self-service server address such as Https://IPAddress, in the Broker Setup tab.
After the security questions are answered, your new password will be set or your account will be unlocked.
Accessing system information
Use the System Information dialog box to view system information.
• Classic desktop—Click System Information from the desktop menu.
• Zero desktop—Click the System Information icon on the zero toolbar.
The System Information dialog box includes:
• General tab—Displays general information such as System Version, Serial Number, Memory Size (Total and Free), CPU Speed,
Monitor, Parallel ports, Terminal Name, Boot from, Free Memory, SSD size, Resolution, and Serial ports.
• Copyright tab—Displays the software copyright and patent notices.
Acknowledgments button is added in the Copyright tab in System Information. This button is related to third party software.
• Event Log tab—Displays the thin client start-up steps normally beginning from system version to checking firmware or error
messages that are helpful for debugging problems. The details about the monitors and USB connected to the thin client, and bluetooth
initialization are also displayed.
When you install packages or restart the ThinOS device, the ThinOS client verifies the version of the installed package. If you have not
installed the latest package version, the details about the current package version and the recommended package version are
displayed.
• Status tab—Displays status information about TCP performance related parameters, UDP performance related parameters, CPU
Busy, System Up Time, Wyse Management Suite status, Free Memory, and Active sessions.
On the Wyse 5470 Thin Client, the battery percentage and the estimated battery time remaining are displayed. When the AC adapter
is plugged in and charging, the remaining time is displayed as Charging.
• IPv6 tab—Displays IPv6 information such as Link-local Address, IPv6 Address, and IPv6 Default Gateway.
NOTE:
This tab is displayed when IPv6 is enabled in the Network Setup dialog box.
