Device disconnected from ThinOS Disconnected | Not Paired
● Scan—All Bluetooth devices enter into Page Scan mode. Different Bluetooth devices enter into the Page Scan mode at
different instances such as when a specific button is pressed three times or a specific button is pressed and held until
the LED turns blue.
● Connect—Select a particular Bluetooth enabled device, and click Connect to connect the selected device to the thin
client. If the Bluetooth device is connected successfully, the status is displayed as Connected in the Bluetooth window.
● Remove—Select a particular Bluetooth device, and click Remove to disconnect and remove the device from the list.
● Auto Connect function—The Auto Connect function is designed for HIDs.
○ ThinOS has no HIDs connected such as USB or Bluetooth HIDs.
○ The Bluetooth HIDs are configured as Page Scan mode.
When you start the ThinOS client, the Bluetooth HIDs can connect to ThinOS automatically without scanning or pairing
operations. The Bluetooth HIDs automatically reconnect after you restart the ThinOS client.
● Reconnect function—The Reconnect function is designed for HIDs and headsets.
When you restart the system with the Bluetooth device (HID/headset) that is already paired and connected, the
Bluetooth device automatically reconnects within a few seconds.
For example, you can hover the Bluetooth mouse, and then click a few times for the Bluetooth mouse to reconnect
successfully. The Bluetooth headset reconnects automatically, but might require you to manually close or reopen the
device on certain occasions.
To know about the certified devices and known issues, see the latest Dell Wyse ThinOS release notes at www.dell.com/support.
USB support
USB port—Wyse 7010 with ThinOS (Z10D) supports two USB 3.0 ports. USB 3.0 is compatible with USB 2.0. When USB 2.0
device is connected to 3.0 ports, the behavior of the device remains unaltered. For USB 3.0 device to connect to 3.0 ports, the
device type should be of 5 Gbps. All types of USB devices work when connected to USB 3.0 port.
USB hard disk—Do not plug in the USB hard disk with 10 or more drives, or do not plug in more than 10 USB keys into ThinOS
client. ThinOS does not detect the USB disk with 10 or more drives.
Known issue—Camera preview has some known issue.
Support for USB Type-C
Wyse 5070 thin client supports the USB Type-C port.
● The USB 3.1 Type-C connector can be used to perform the following activities:
○ Transfer data by using USB mass storage
○ Connect monitors
NOTE: If you use USB Type-C, one monitor capability is reduced from rear panel, and DP2 is disabled.
○ Charge smartphones
○ Connect USB 2.0, 3.0, and 3.1 compatible devices.
● The USB 3.1 Type-C cannot be used for the following:
○ Thunderbolt, HDMI, and MHL alt modes
○ Docking stations
○ Powering a thin client
● Limitation—In Wyse 5070 thin client, XHCI is used for all types of USB devices. The transmission speed gap between USB
3.0 and USB Type-C is not significant.
