1 Introduction Supported clients running Dell Wyse Enhanced Windows Embedded Standard 7P provide access to applications, files, and network resources within Citrix, Microsoft, VMware and Dell vWorkspace environments, and other leading infrastructures. The thin clientOptiplex client contains a full featured Internet Explorer browser and thin clientOptiplex client emulation software called Ericom — PowerTerm Session Manager.
2 Getting Started This section describes the activities that you must perform to start using your thin clientOptiplex client: To get started using your thin clientOptiplex client, see: • Logging On. • Using your Desktop. • Before Configuring Your Thin Client. • Connecting to a Printer. • Connecting to a Monitor. • Power State.
NOTE: As an administrator, you can use Auto Logon to configure your thin client to start with the Logon window so that you can simply log in as an administrator. For more information, see Enabling Auto Logon. 3 If automatic logon is not enabled, the logon window is displayed when you boot the thin client. You can log in using the options mentioned in step 2. We recommend you change the default passwords of your thin client.
Working with the File Based Write Filter Utility The File Based Write Filter provides a secure environment for thin client Optiplex client computing by protecting the thin client Optiplex client from undesired flash memory writes. Changes made to the thin client Optiplex client configurations are lost when the thin client Optiplex client is restarted unless the files of the File Based Write Filter cache are cleared during the current system session.
3 • Sleep— This mode enables the power-saving state and allows the thin clientOptiplex client to quickly resume full power operations when you want to start working again. • Shut down– Preferred for orderly closing of the operating system. You can also log off the thin clientOptiplex client by any of the following ways: • From the Start menu, click log off if you want to log off your thin clientOptiplex client. • Press CTRL+ALT+DEL and then click log off.

5 Additional Administrator Utility and Settings Information This chapter provides additional information about utilities and settings available for administrators.
• Wake-on-LAN — This standard Windows Embedded Standard feature discovers all thin clients in your LAN, and enables you to wake them up by clicking a button. This feature allows WDM software, for example, to perform image updates and remote administration functions on devices that have been shut down or are on standby. To use this feature, the thin client power must remain on. • Thin Client Time —After power off, clock time will not be lost as long as the power source remains on.
Changing Passwords with the File Based Write Filter On Microsoft Windows based machines, account passwords are regularly changed with the domain controller for security purposes. The same password process is applicable for a thin clientOptiplex client if the thin clientOptiplex client is a member of such a domain. With the File Based Write Filter enabled, a thin clientOptiplex client will successfully make this password change with the domain controller.
Adds the file or the directory to the exclusion list of the volume. That is, the file or directory is removed from the protection of the File Based Write Filter. The exclusion will take effect after the next system reboot. The file or directory path must be an absolute path starting with \. • fbwfmgr /removeexclusion C: Removes the file or the directory from the exclusion list of the volume. That is, the file or directory is included within the protection of the File Based Write Filter.
• b Reboot Time Delay (in seconds) — Shows the number of seconds that will lapse before system reboot in the Warning #2 ( percent) case of cache overflow for the current session. FBWF Cache Settings area includes: • Amount of RAM to be used for FBWF Cache — Shows (in MB) the amount of RAM (in MB) that is to be used as File Based Write Filter cache for the next session. This value should be in the range of 16 MB to 1024 MB.
• Selected Items Now • Last User at log-on NetXClean purges selected directories, files, and profiles. It uses a configuration file to determine which directories and files to purge and what not to purge. To select different directories and files to purge, you must select them in the configuration file. NOTE: NetXClean purge selections are made by the manufacturer and should not be changed without manufacturer supervision.
Drive C is the on-board non-volatile flash memory. It is recommended that you avoid writing to drive C. Writing to drive C reduces the free disk space. If the free disk space on C drive is reduced to 90 percent of the total disk space, then thin clientOptiplex client will become unstable. NOTE: We highly recommend that 3 MB of disk space is left unused.

7 Using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) This appendix contains the DHCP options you can use with your thin clientOptiplex client. A thin clientOptiplex client is initially configured to obtain its IP address and network configurations from a DHCP server, new thin clientOptiplex client or a thin clientOptiplex client reset to default configurations. A DHCP server can also provide the IP address or DNS name of the file server and the root-path location of software in Microsoft .
161 File server list. Optional string. Can be either the name or the IP address of the File server where the updated thin clientOptiplex client image is stored. If a name is given, the name must be resolvable by the DNS server(s) specified in Option 6. If the option provided by the server is blank or the server provides no value for the field, the machine on which the DHCP server resides is assumed to also be the file server. 162 Root path to the file server. Optional string. (FTP/HTTP/HTTPS).
• HTTP or HTTPS: For HTTP or HTTPS, the default WCM configuration path is the path specified by the virtual directory in IIS; usually wwwroot. For example, C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Wyse \WES7. NOTE: For custom WCM configuration paths use only one of the following string values where Finance is your custom defined pathfor DHCP Option 196: • • • FTP custom example: C:\inetpub \ftproot\Wyse\WES7\Finance HTTP custom example: C: \inetpub\ftproot\Wyse \WES7\Finance HTTPS custom example: C: \inetpub\ftproot\Wyse \WES
