1 Introduction Thin clients running Dell Wyse ThinOS firmware are designed solely for optimal thin client security and performance. These extremely efficient purpose-built thin clients are virus and malware-resistant and offer ultra-fast access to applications, files, and network resources within Citrix, Microsoft, VMware and Dell vWorkspace environments, and other leading infrastructures.

Newly added INI parameters Parameter Description SignOn={yes} New parameters added in Connection settings for wnos.ini files only [EnableScSSPR={yes, no}] [EnableScPinChange={yes, no}] DelayReboot={yes} New parameters added in General Settings for wnos.ini files only PRIVILEGE={none, Low, High} New parameters added in General Settings for wnos.
2 Getting Started: Learning INI File Basics In this chapter you will learn how to construct and use the supported INI files. It includes: ● ● ● ● Downloading and Using Sample INI files Supported INI Files you can construct Rules and recommendations for constructing the INI files Placing the INI files into the folder structure on the server After you become familiar with the INI file basics, you can refer to the parameter details you need in the other chapters and appendixes of this guide.
Working with wnos.ini files A wnos.ini file contains the global parameters you want that will affect all thin clients accessing the server. Parameters in both Connection Settings: wnos.ini files only, and Connection Settings: wnos.ini files, {username} INI, and $MAC INI Files can be used in a wnos.ini file. NOTE: Parameters in Connection Settings: wnos.ini files only can only be used in a wnos.ini file; they cannot be used in a {username}.ini file. Working with $MAC.ini Files A $MAC.
Global connect parameters should be listed before other connect parameters in a wnos.ini file. 2. Continue Lines by using a Space and Backslash Placing a space and backslash ( \) at the end of a line indicates line continuation; that is, the backslash means that the line and the following line are, for the purposes of reading code, the same line. No white space can appear after the backslash; the requirement of white space between parameter entries is maintained by the use of the space before the backslash.
Table 2. System variables Option Value $MAC MAC address with lowercase letters is used. $UMAC MAC address with uppercase letters is used. $IP IP Address used. $IPOCT4 The fourth octet of IP Address, for example, if IP is 10.151.120.15, and then the fourth octet is 15. $TN Terminal name. $PF Platform name—The first part of image name xxx_wnos, for example, R10L. $UN Sign-on name used. $PW Sign-on password used. $DN Sign-on domain name used.
Table 3. Folder structure Folder structure Description /wyse/ Required—The root directory. It stores the wnos folder. /wyse/wnos Required—The main INI configuration folder.
