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.
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 space can appear after the backslash; the requirement of space between parameter entries is maintained by the use of the space before the backslash.
Table 1. System variables (continued) 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 2. Folder structure Folder structure Description /wyse/ Required—The root directory. It stores the wnos folder. /wyse/wnos Required—The main INI configuration folder. It stores the wnos.ini file, {username}.ini file, $MAC.ini file, firmware, and the following optional folders: ● bitmap folder ● cacerts folder ● font folder ● inc folder ● ini folder ● locale folder ● trouble_shoot folder /wyse/wnos/bitmap Optional—The folder where you can place custom images you plan to use.

Table 12. ICA connect: options (continued) Option Description 3 – Low Quality Autoconnect={0 to 99} Default is 0. Use for automatically starting a session after you sign in, if sign-on is enabled. The value of 0 – 99 is the delay in seconds before autostarting the session. AppendUsername=1 This enhancement allows user names to display in the title bar of an ICA session at the client side. Browserip=list of browsers List of IP addresses or DNS registered names to specify ICA browsers.
Table 12. ICA connect: options (continued) Option Description Encryption={None, Basic, 40, 56, 128, Login-128} Default is Basic. Connection security encryption level.

NOTE: The server must support the specified level of encryption or the connection will fail. Fullscreen={no, yes} Default is no. Yes/no option to run the session in full screen.
Table 12. ICA connect: options (continued) Option Description The connection description of the Description option is used as the index key into the local connection table.

Specifies how users authenticate to the selected application set or ICA connection. Lowband={no, yes} Default is no.
Table 12. ICA connect: options (continued) Option Description starts a line, so it can be distinguished from the thin client user sign-on password which does starts a line. NOTE: The Password option is not written into a {username}.ini file by a user. When the New Password check box is selected, the system writes the new, changed password into the {username}.ini file with encryption. This password is then checked against the sign-on password with encryption to determine whether sign-on is successful.

Enclose the string description in quotation marks if there are embedded blanks or single quotes. For quotation marks, use common-practice nesting rules. Maximum of 38 characters are allowed. Fullscreen={no, yes} Default is no.
B TimeZone Parameter: Values Using the TimeZone parameter, Table “TimeZone Parameter: Values” contains the zone value options that can be used. For Example: TimeZone="GMT - 08:00" ManualOverride=Yes Daylight=Yes \ Start=030207 End=110107 TimeZoneName=Pacific \ DaylightName=Pacific Remember to use quotation marks (" ") since the option includes spaces. The example above uses the " \" to break a single continuous line into multiple likes for easier reading with no" \" on the last line of the parameter.
