Getting started
This chapter helps you quickly learn the basics and get started with your thin client.
End User License Agreement
End User License Agreement is added to ThinOS from this release. End User License Agreements must be read and accepted to
continue using ThinOS. The End User License Agreement screen is displayed during the following instances:
● When you boot the thin client for the first time.
● When you reset a thin client that runs ThinOS version 8.5 or later, to factory settings.
NOTE: If the thin client is managed using Wyse Management Suite server, the End User License Agreement screen is not
displayed.
Configuring ThinOS using the First Boot Wizard
The First Boot Wizard runs the first time you start a new thin client with ThinOS. The thin client starts the First Boot Wizard
application before you enter the ThinOS system desktop, and allows you to perform a set of tasks, such as, configuring
system preferences, setting up the internet connectivity, loading USB configurations, configuring management software, and
configuring broker connections.
If you are an existing thin client user, and you have upgraded to the ThinOS version 8.5 or later, then you can reset your thin
client to factory default settings to enter the First Boot Wizard.
To configure the First Boot Wizard:
1. Connect a new thin client or existing thin client to the Ethernet using a wired connection. The existing thin client must be
reset to factory default settings to enter the First Boot Wizard.
2. Turn on your thin client.
The thin client checks for a wired network connection. If the network connection is successful, a welcome screen with the
model name of your thin client and the End User License Agreement screen is displayed. For more information, see End User
License Agreement.
