3. Restart the device.
Register ThinOS devices by using Wyse Device Agent
To register the ThinOS devices manually, do the following:
Steps
1. From the desktop menu of the thin client, go to System Setup > Central Configuration.
The Central Configuration window is displayed.
2. Click the WDA tab. The WDA service automatically runs after the client boot up process is complete.
WMS is selected by default.
3. Select the Enable Wyse Management Suite check box to enable Wyse Management Suite.
4. Enter the Group Registration Key as configured by your administrator for the wanted group.
5. Select the Enable WMS Advanced Settings option, and enter the WMS server or MQTT server details.
6. Enable or disable CA validation based on your license type. For public cloud, select the Enable CA Validation check box, and
for private cloud, select the Enable CA Validation check box if you have imported certificates from a well-known certificate
authority into your Wyse Management Suite server.
To enable the CA validation option in the private cloud, you must install the same self-signed certificate on the ThinOS
device as well. If you have not installed the self-signed certificate in the ThinOS device, then, do not select the Enable CA
Validation check box. You can install the certificate to the device by using Wyse Management Suite after registration, and
then enable the CA validation option.
NOTE:
● A warning message is displayed if you disable CA validation. You must click Ok to confirm.
● For the public cloud version of Wyse Management Suite in USA data-center, do not change the default WMS server
and MQTT server details. For the public cloud version of Wyse Management Suite in Europe data-center, use the
following:
○ CCM Server—eu1.wysemanagementsuite.com
○ MQTT Server—eu1-pns.wysemanagementsuite.com:1883
● A warning message is displayed if the server address contains http. You must click Ok to confirm.
7. To verify the setup, click Validate Key. The device automatically restarts after the key is validated.
NOTE:
If the key is not validated, verify the group key and WMS server URL which you have provided. Ensure that
ports 443 and 1883 are not blocked by the network.
8. Click OK.
The device is registered to Wyse Management Suite.
