Other documents you may need In addition to this Guide, you can access the following guides available at www.dell.com/support/manuals. ● The Dell Wyse ThinOS Version 9.0 Migration Guide provides information about downloading the ThinOS 9.0 firmware from the Dell support site, and how to upgrade from ThinOS 8.6 firmware to ThinOS 9.0. ● The Dell Wyse ThinOS Version 9.0 Release Notes provides information about new features, fixed issues, and known issues in this release. ● The Dell Wyse Management Suite 2.
2 Upgrading the ThinOS firmware It is recommended to use the Wyse Management Suite version 2.0 to upgrade your ThinOS firmware to 9.0. You can also use the USB Imaging Tool version 3.3.0 to install the ThinOS 9.0 Merlin image on your thin client. If you are using ThinOS v8.5 or earlier versions, you must first upgrade your device to ThinOS v8.6 before installing ThinOS 9.0. ThinOS 9.0 displays a change group notification message on the device after you change the group in Wyse Management Suite.
For information about the supported Citrix Workspace App version, Cisco Jabber version, and Imprivata version, see the latest Dell Wyse ThinOS 9.0 Release Notes at www.dell.com/support. NOTE: If the package fails to update, or if the thin client does not work after upgrading to the new firmware, remove all packages and reboot the thin client. Reinstall the package after the reboot.

Enable UDP audio in a Citrix session Citrix recommends that you use audio over User Datagram Protocol (UDP) in low-bandwidth network connections for better audio quality. ThinOS does not support UDP audio over Citrix ADC (formerly NetScaler) due to Linux Citrix Workspace app limitation. Steps 1. Start the Admin Policy Tool on your ThinOS 9.0-based device or open the ThinOS 9.x Policy settings in Wyse Management Suite.
In the server default mode, both Linux and Windows use the session (VDA) side keyboard layout with predictable output. In this release, ThinOS has a customized Citrix package where the keyboard layout is set to server default mode for predictable output. The keyboard layout that you select on the thin client is not automatically synchronized in the VDA session. VDA users must select or switch the keyboard layout inside the VDA session using the Windows Input Method Editor (IME) language bar.
