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.
Session and network services available on enterprise networks may be accessed through
a direct intranet connection, a dial-up server, or an ISP which provides access to the
Internet and thus permits the thin client to connect to an enterprise virtual private network
(VPN) server.
WTOS Initialization (INI) files are plain-text files that you can construct to contain the
configuration information you want for your thin clients running WTOS (both on a global
level and on an individual user level). For example, these INI files can be used by the
WTOS applications to save information about a user’s preferences and operating
environment.
Caution
Information and procedures presented in this guide are intended for use by
system administrators and should not be used by untrained persons.
About this Guide
This guide is intended for administrators of Wyse thin clients running WTOS. It provides
the detailed 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 for
constructing the files. It also provides the parameter details you need (with working
examples) to get the most out of your WTOS INI files. In addition, this guide also includes
an appendix that contains all of the supported connect parameters you can use for ICA
and RDP connections.
Organization of this Guide
This guide is organized as follows:
Chapter 2, "Understanding WTOS INI Files," contains the basic information you need to
