10 Wyse 5070 thin client configuration on ThinOS This section provides the instructions on how to easily configure and efficiently manage Wyse 5070 thin client that runs on ThinOS. . Topics: • • • • • Introduction Logging on to the Wyse 5070 thin client running Wyse ThinOS Configuring ThinOS using the First Boot Wizard Local settings menu Configuring the printer settings Introduction Thin clients running Dell Wyse ThinOS firmware are designed solely for optimal thin client security and performance.
The First Boot Wizard runs the first time you start a new thin client with the ThinOS version 8.5.1. The thin client starts the First Boot Wizard application before you enter the ThinOS system desktop, and allows you to perform a set of tasks, such as, configuring system preferences, setting up the internet connectivity, loading USB configurations, configuring management software, and configuring broker connections.
● File Server—Enter the file server details to apply configurations including INI files, firmware, packages, and so on, from a file server. ● WMS—Enter the group registration key and the Wyse Management Suite server URL to register the thin client to the Wyse Management Suite. ● WDM—Enter the IP addresses or host names. ● Disable SSL warning—Select this check box to disable the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) connection warnings.
Table 12. Keyboard parameters Parameter Description Character Set Lists the character sets. Each character is represented by a number. The ASCII character set, for example, uses the numbers 0 through 127 to represent all English characters and special control characters. European ISO character sets are similar to ASCII, but they contain additional characters for European languages. Keyboard Layout Presently the keyboard languages listed in the Keyboard layout drop-down list are supported.
● Resolution—From the Resolution drop-down list, select a display resolution supported by your monitor. In Mirror Mode, the resolution list is derived from the intersection of resolutions in all connected monitors. In Span Mode, select a monitor block and change its resolution from the Resolution drop-down list. ● Rotation—From the Rotation drop-down list, select an option to rotate the monitor screen in different directions— Left turn 90 degrees or Right turn 90 degrees.
The Printer Setup dialog box is displayed. 2. Click the Ports tab, and use the following guidelines: a. Select Port— Select the required port from the list. LPT1 or LPT2 are directly connected to the USB printer.. b. Printer Name — (Required) Enter name you want displayed in your list of printers. Most USB direct-connected printers report/fill in their printer name automatically.
This name can be different for each vendor. This is a required field, and you must ensure to add the correct queue name, as the network printer uses this name for mapping the incoming print jobs. For example, auto can be used for HP LaserJet 4200n PCL6 as per documentation found on the HP Web site. NOTE: If the printer is attached to another thin client on your network, the LPD Queue Name must match the content of the Printer Name box displayed on the thin client. f.
