Administrator Guide

The option Autoload=2, ensures that the thin client uses the rmware installed on the server to upgrade, only if the rmware on the
thin client is older than the version on the server. The option LoadPkg species how to update the external packages. If LoadPkg is
not in the statement, it will inherit the value of
AutoLoad.
Base package is integrated into the ThinOS Lite rmware image. Installing the latest ThinOS Lite rmware image automatically installs
the latest version of these packages on the ThinOS Lite client. If you set AutoLoad=1 LoadPkg=0, the rmware is checked, but
the packages are not checked. The packages check is performed after rmware check. From ThinOS Lite 2.3, the external packages
update mechanism is changed. Some packages are default, and loaded according to value of LoadPkg. For example RTME. Some
packages need additional parameter AddPkg to add. For example, FR. The option AddPkg is for adding packages. It depends on the
value of LoadPkg. For more information about the INI parameter usage, see the INI parameter chapter in the Dell Wyse ThinOS Lite
admin guide.
5 Save the xen.ini le.
6 On the ThinOS Lite client desktop, navigate to System Setup > Central Conguration > General.
7 In the General tab, enter the IP address of the FTP server or directory. For example: 150.00.0.260/wyse. The Username eld must
have the value Anonymous and the Password eld is already pre-congured.
NOTE:
• If there is no default password or if the password is changed, then you must set your password. For example, [e-mail].
You can also reset the thin client to factory default settings. When you reset the thin client to factory default settings, the
anonymous user is congured with the default password. However, you need to recongure the thin client.
• You can also use DHCP option tags 161 and 162 to congure the ThinOS Lite client, le server and path information. You must
create these options on your DHCP server, congure them with the correct server information, and enable the DHCP server
scope in your environment.
8 Click OK.
9 Restart the thin client and wait until the auto-installation of packages is complete.
To verify that the thin client is upgraded, on the ThinOS Lite desktop, navigate to System Information > General, and check the System
Version.
Firmware upgrade using HTTP or HTTPS
Ensure that you have set up a Windows PC or Server with Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) and HTTP or HTTPS services
installed. If you do not have the HTTP or HTTPS server installed, then refer to the article about how to setup an HTTP or HTTPS server at
support.microsoft.com.
Ensure that the web server can identify the le types used by ThinOS Lite. Create two MIME types under IIS. The MIME's option needs to
be congured on a per site basis. On a default IIS, install:
1 Launch the IIS admin console.
2 Browse to the default website, right-click and select Properties.
3 Click the HTTP Headers tab, and in the MIME Map section, select File types > New Type.
4 Add the two MIME types. Use .INI and . for the associated extension elds.
5 Apply the settings and close the IIS admin console.
Installing IIS creates the default directory C:\inetpub\WWWroot, which is known as the WWW root. In the WWWroot directory, create a
folder WYSE and a sub folder xen. The directory structure must read as C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WYSE\xen.
To upgrade the ThinOS Lite rmware using HTTP or HTTPS server:
1 Sign in to the Dell Digital Locker.
2 Download the latest ThinOS Lite rmware and latest ThinOS Lite packages that corresponds to your thin client model. If the rmware
and packages are in the form of a compressed self-extracting (.EXE) or zipped le (.ZIP), then extract the les.
3 Place the extracted rmware les in the C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WYSE\xen folder, and the packages to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WYSE
\xen\pkg on your HTTP or HTTPS server.
4 Create a xen.ini text le (using a text editor) in the C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WYSE\xen folder with the following INI parameters:
