1 Introduction Wyse® thin clients using Wyse ThinOS™ (WTOS) are highly optimized thin clients that provide ultra-fast access to applications, files, and network resources made available on machines hosting Citrix™ ICA and Microsoft™ RDP session services. Locally installed software permits remote administration of the thin clients and provides local maintenance functions.
2 Chapter 1 Chapter 4, "WNOS INI and {username} INI Parameters," provides the supported parameters that you can use in a wnos.ini file and in a {username}.ini file. Appendix A, "ICA and RDP Connection Parameters," provides the supported parameters that you can use for ICA and RDP connections.

2 Understanding WTOS INI Files This chapter contains the basic information you need to help you understand and use the WTOS INI files. It contains information on the different WTOS INI files you can use and the rules and recommendations for constructing the files. In addition, this chapter contains information on WTOS sample INI files that you can download and modify to quickly get your file server up and running for your thin client environment.
6 Chapter 2 precedence of one variable over another, refer to the parameter notations in Table 3, "Parameters for wnos.ini files and {username}.ini files,"). Caution If both PNAgent/PNLite and a user profile are being used in the environment, the username must be defined in the Windows domain to be used, and the password used must be the same for both the Windows domain and the user profile.
Understanding WTOS INI Files 7 2. Mandatory Parameters As stated earlier, parameters can be entered as necessary for reference, but are not mandatory unless changes from defaults are required or the parameter is noted as required in the tables. For example, the Connect= parameter is mandatory. 3.
8 Chapter 2 5. Use of Number Signs As stated earlier, number signs (#) indicate the start of a comment. Comments can begin anywhere on a line. Everything between the # and the End of Line is ignored. In the following example, #ICA connect parameter for connection 1 is commented and will not be read. Reading starts at the next line (in this example, at the connect=ica statement): #ICA connect parameter for connection 1 connect=ica \ Description="Citrix45" \ host=10.1.1.
Understanding WTOS INI Files Figure 2 9 Network Setup dialog box 10.{username}.ini Files must be Write-Enabled All {username}.ini files must be write-enabled to allow the thin client to place the encrypted user passwords in the files. Note For {username}.ini Files Only - If the Password parameter is present in the {username}.ini file, it must be the first parameter in the file. The Password parameter is created and updated by the thin client; it is not inserted by the administrator.
10 Chapter 2 Placing the include=$mac.ini statement on last line of the wnos.ini file to verify that all parameters are processed properly for terminal-specific settings is recommended. For example: KeySequence=yes Ctrl+Alt+Del=no Ctrl+Alt+Down=no Ctrl+Alt+Up=no include=$mac.ini Your global settings continue to be included in wnos.ini after the include statement and terminal-specific settings are included in the include files, as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3 Global settings in the wnos.
11 Understanding WTOS INI Files Table 1 System Variables Parameter Value $SN Serial number used. $MAC MAC address used. $IP IP Address used. $UN Sign-on name used. $PW Sign-on password used. $TN Terminal name. $DN Sign-on domain name used. $WPUN PEAP/MSCHAPv2 username used (802.1x dependent). $WPPW PEAP/MSCHAPv2 password used (802.1x dependent). &Right($xx, i) or &Left($xx, i) Specifies whether the variable is to be read from left or right. The $xx is any of the above parameters.

A ICA and RDP Connection Parameters This appendix provides the supported parameters that you can use for ICA and RDP connections. Parameters for ICA and RDP Connections Table 4 contains the supported parameters you can use for ICA and RDP connections (after Connect=ICA or Connect=RDP).
