PAGE 34
4. After reboot, go to System Setup->Peripherals->Audio->Playback Devices, check there is no LPEDP Audio option, and Enable DP audio is also not selected. DP Audio is now disabled. Limitation  Audio playback is supported. There is no support for audio recording.  DP audio option in playback devices list on ThinOS GUI is displayed after you disable audio in BIOS setting.
PAGE 35
For example,  Add a new wireless SSID.  After that, ThinOS connects to the wireless SSID immediately, you need not reboot. Limitation  On ARM platforms (3010, 3020), disable/enable wireless will require system reboot. Dell Wyse ThinOS 8.
PAGE 36
Wyse Device Manager/Wyse Management Suite changes In Wyse Device Manager on ThinOS, go to Central Configuration > WDA.  The default protocol is changed from WDM to WMS.  WDM GUI can be now be disabled using one of following INI parameter. o WDMService=no o Service=wdm disable=yes o RapportDisable=yes What’s new: Support for Wyse Management Suite v1.1. For more information, see Dell Wyse Management Suite 1.1 Administrator’s Guide.
PAGE 37
 For a private Wyse Management Suite Server, Group Registration Key is not required. You can provide Wyse Management Suite Server value to trigger Wyse Management Suite checkin. ThinOS will register to quarantine tenant.  WMS Server field: populates return value from Wyse Management Suite server after checkin.  MQTT Server field is disabled; populates the return value from Wyse Management Suite server after check-in.  Support all new ThinOS v8.
PAGE 38
 Device INI overrides group INI and Device INI has the highest priority. 3. Wyse Management Suite sends only group INI at the lowest level. For example, in the following settings in Wyse Management Suite Group Policy, the device Tom-ThinOS-8.5 will receive global.ini, santaClara.ini, and Tom.ini, devices and receives global.ini and santaClara.ini from Wyse Management Suite (group INI file at the lowest level is selected based on Wyse Management Suite hierarchy).  Global group (INI file: global.
PAGE 39
Wyse Management Suite registration workflow example on a Private Cloud Workflow: Registration with server URL only  Configure ThinOS with Wyse Management Suite server URL.  Device registers to Wyse Management Suite using the server URL.  If there is only one tenant in the server, server returns Quarantine group's owner ID.  Alternatively, server returns error for the missing group token.  Device proceeds to register with the owner ID it receives from Wyse Management Suite server.
PAGE 40
Troubleshooting  ThinOS devices allow secure SSL connections—SecurityMode=Full—only after verifying the certificates. In the current scenario, the devices enforce the warning policy after you define a server using a valid IP address. The resolution for the issue will be delivered in the next ThinOS release. The following are the workarounds to avoid the SSL connection issue: o Ensure that the device has a valid certificate and the correct time is selected on the device.
PAGE 41
  Boot up unit without monitor or with monitor power-off. o Wyse 5010 thin client/Wyse 5040 thin client/Wyse 7010 thin client/Wyse 3030 LT thin client: if the client waits for 15-20 seconds and the monitor is attached or power on within 20 seconds, the display turns on. If the monitor is attached or power on occurs after 20 seconds, the monitor be in black screen. It is recommended to power on monitor first, not to power on client first and then power on monitor or attach monitor.
