1 Introduction Thin clients running Dell Wyse ThinOS firmware are designed solely for optimal thin client security and performance. These extremely efficient purpose-built thin clients are virus and malware-resistant and offer ultra-fast access to applications, files, and network resources within Citrix, Microsoft, VMware and Dell vWorkspace environments, and other leading infrastructures.
2 Getting Started: Learning INI File Basics In this chapter you will learn how to construct and use the supported INI files. It includes: ● Downloading and Using Sample INI Files ● Supported INI Files You can Construct ● Rules and Recommendations for Constructing the INI Files ● Placing the INI Files into the Folder Structure on the Server After you become familiar with the INI file basics, you can refer to the parameter details you need in the other chapters and appendixes of this guide.
Working with wnos.ini files A wnos.ini file contains the global parameters you want that will affect all thin clients accessing the server. Parameters in both Connection Settings: wnos.ini files only, and Connection Settings: wnos.ini files, {username} INI, and $MAC INI Files can be used in a wnos.ini file. NOTE: Parameters in Connection Settings: wnos.ini files only can only be used in a wnos.ini file; they cannot be used in a {username}.ini file. Working with $MAC.ini Files A $MAC.
Global connect parameters should be listed before other connect parameters in a wnos.ini file. 2. Connect is the Only Required Parameter As stated earlier, if you are using an INI file, the only parameter you must use is the Connect parameter. Any of the rest of the parameters can be used if you desire, but are not necessary unless you want changes from client and other defaults. 3. Continue Lines by using a Space and Backslash Placing a space and backslash ( \) at the end of a line indicates line continuat
System variables The following table contains the system variables you can use with some options of the connect parameter: Table 2. System variables Option Value $SN Serial number used. $MAC MAC address used. $IP IP Address used. $IPOCT4 The fourth octet of IP Address, for example, if IP is 10.151.120.15, then the fourth octet is 15. $TN Terminal name. $PF Platform name—The first part of image name xxx_wnos, for example, R10L. $UN Sign-on name used. $PW Sign-on password used.
Placing the INI files into the folder structure on the server If you have set up your environment to provide your thin clients running ThinOS with automatic updates and configurations as described in ThinOS Administrator’s Guide, you can use the following folder structure on your server under the C:/inetpub/ ftproot folder, for FTP or C:/inetpub/wwwroot folder, for HTTP or HTTPS and place your INI files and other necessary files inside the structure as noted.
3 Parameters for wnos INI files only This chapter provides the supported parameters that you can use in a wnos.ini file. NOTE: For information to help you construct and use the supported INI files, see Getting Started Learning INI File Basics. Parameters in Connection Settings for wnos.ini Files Only can only be used in a wnos.ini file; they cannot be used in a {username}.ini file.
