1 Introduction Thin clients running Dell Wyse ThinOS firmware are designed solely for optimal thin client security and performance. These efficient purpose-built thin clients are virus and malware resistant and offer ultrafast access to applications, files and network resources within Citrix, Microsoft, VMware and Dell vWorkspace environments, and other leading infrastructures.
2 Before working on ThinOS Firmware installation and package deployment Consider the following before you install the ThinOS firmware and deploy the ThinOS packages: • • The installed RTME, Horizon, and JVDI packages are saved to the hidden partition. The Merlin images include both RTME and Horizon packages.
Firmware installation using FTP server Ensure that you have set up a Windows PC or Server with Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) and FTP services installed. If you do not have the FTP server installed, then refer to the article about how to setup an FTP server at support.microsoft.com. Installing the Windows IIS creates the directory C:\inetpub\ftproot, which is known as the FTP root. In the ftproot directory, create a folder wyse and a sub folder wnos. The directory structure must read as C:\in
2. 3. 4. 5. Browse to the default website, right-click and select Properties. Click the HTTP Headers tab, and in the MIME Map section, select File types > New Type. Add the two MIME types. Use .INI and . for the associated extension fields. Apply the settings and close the IIS admin console. Installing IIS creates the default directory C:\inetpub\WWWroot, which is known as the WWW root. In the WWWroot directory, create a folder WYSE and a sub folder wnos. The directory structure must read as C:\inetpub\ww
2. Download the latest ThinOS firmware and ThinOS packages that corresponds to your thin client model. When you download the JVDI.zip package, the README WITH EULA.txt and JVDI.i386.pkg files are unzipped. Ensure that you open the readme file and read the EULA agreement. NOTE: JVDI package is introduced to support Cisco Jabber. However, if you intend to use only horizon package, then do not load the JVDI package to avoid unknown user trap issue. 3. Log in to Wyse Management Suite using valid credentials. 4.
Upgrade BIOS on the Wyse 5470 All-in-One Thin Client This section describes the procedure to update BIOS on the Wyse 5470 All-in-One Thin Client by using file server. The Dell Standard BIOS file is converted to BIN file format for signature and security purposes. The format of the BIN file is 5470AIO_bios.bin for the Wyse 5470 All-in-One Thin Client. To upgrade BIOS using the file server: 1. Download the Dell BIOS file from the respective hardware pages on Dell support site. For example, 5470AIO_bios.bin.
NOTE: Dell Wyse thin clients do not require device management software. They are configured to obtain their IP address, as well as the location of firmware and configuration instructions, from a DHCP server. However, you can use Wyse Management Suite for a more hands-on management of your thin clients. For information about configuring your thin clients to communicate with Wyse Management Suite, see the related INI parameters in Dell Wyse ThinOS INI Guide.
Option Description Notes 162 Root path to the file server (ftp/http/https) Optional string. If the option provided by the server is blank and the server provides no value for the field, a null string is used. \wyse\wnos is automatically appended to the search path. For example, if you enter pub\serversoftware, the path searchedare pub\serversoftware\wyse \wnos. NOTE: You can have the \wyse automatic component of the search path omitted by appending a dollar sign ($) to the entered path.
3 Getting started This chapter helps you quickly learn the basics and get started with your thin client.

11 Security Transport Layer Security Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a protocol that provides communication security between the client and server applications. Upgrade to Transport Layer Security (TLS)—TLS is upgraded from version 1.0 to version 1.2. By default, the ThinOS client uses TLS 1.2 to secure any communication protocols, connections, or applications upon SSL/ TLS in general and falls back to the previous SSL/ TLS version when negotiating with the server.
12 Troubleshooting This section describes some basic troubleshooting that you can implement when you experience any problem. • ThinOS devices allow secure SSL connections—SecurityMode=Full—only after verifying the certificates. In the present scenario, the devices enforce the warning policy after you define a server using a valid IP address.
