• For more details on various conguration policies supported by Wyse Management Suite, see Dell Wyse Management
Suite Administrator’s Guide at support.dell.com.
• You can create a rule to automatically create a group and/or assign a device to a group based on specic attributes such
as subnet, time zone, and location.
Registering new thin client
A thin client can be registered with Wyse Management Suite manually through the Wyse Device Agent (WDA). You can also register a thin
client automatically by conguring appropriate option tags on the DHCP server or conguring appropriate DNS SRV records on the DNS
server.
If you want devices in dierent subnets to automatically check into dierent Wyse Management Suite groups with multiple subnets, use the
DHCP option tags to register a thin client. For example, devices in TimeZone_A can check into ProleGroup congured for TimeZoneA.
If you want to enter the Wyse Management Suite server information at TLD, and if you have installed Wyse Management Suite Pro to allow
automatic group assignment based on device rules, use the DNS SRV records on the DNS server to register a thin client. For example, if
the device checks in from TimeZoneA, assign it to the ProleGroup congured for TimeZoneA.
For the Wyse Management Suite on a private cloud with self-signed certicates, the thin clients must have the following versions of Wyse
Device Agents or rmware installed for secure communication:
• Windows Embedded Systems—13.0 or later versions
• Thin Linux—2.0.24 or later versions
• ThinOS—8.4 rmware or later versions
• You can register a device with an older version agent using HTTP URL instead of HTTPS. After the agent or rmware is upgraded to
the latest version, communication with the Wyse Management Suite will automatically switch to https.
• You can download the latest version WDA at downloads.dell.com/wyse/wda.
• For Wyse Management Suite installed on a private cloud, go to Portal Adminstration > Setup and select the Certication Validation
check box, if you have imported certicates from a certicate authority such as www.geotrust.com. This checkbox should not be
selected if you have not imported certicates from a well-known certicate authority. This option is not available for Wyse Management
Suite on a public cloud as the certicate validation in public cloud is always enabled.
Registering ThinOS device manually
To register the ThinOS devices manually, do the following:
1 From the desktop menu, go to System Setup > Central Conguration.
