Create and import bulk device exception file
From Wyse Management Suite 3.1, you can deploy device exception configurations to multiple ThinOS 9.x devices.
Steps
1. Create a bulk device exception file. To create a file, do any of the following:
● Create a group policy for a test group and then export that policy to a file. If the configuration contains passwords, they
are replaced with * in the exported file. For example:
{
"WMSVersion": "4.6.8",
"exportedDate": "1581466633677",
"deviceTypes": [
{
"type": 6,
"configurations": {
"version": "0.0.1",
"sequence": 1581466506281,
"parameters": {
"AdminModeUsername": {
"value": "admin",
"updatedAt": "1581466506234"
},
"AdminModePassword": {
"value": "********",
"updatedAt": "1581466506234"
},
"TerminalName": {
"value": "outpatient",
"updatedAt": "1581466506234"
},
"TimeServer": {
"value": "10.10.10.10",
"updatedAt": "1581466506234"
},
"timeZone": {
"value": "America/Phoenix",
"updatedAt": "1581466506234"
},
"TerminalNameCapital": {
"value": "yes",
"updatedAt": "1581466506234"
},
"DeviceNICDefault": {
"value": "Wlan",
"updatedAt": "1581466506234"
},
"AdminMode": {
"value": "yes",
"updatedAt": "1581466506234"
}
}
}
}
]
}
● Create a .json file using the following format:
{
"devices": {
<serialnumber>: {
"parameters": {
"<parametername>": {
"value": <value>
