Wireless Usage and Requirements
Radio transmitting type devices (RF module) are present in models with the wireless option. These devices
operate in the 2.4 GHz band (i.e. 802.11 A/B/G/N & Bluetooth).
As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless device and the body, for use of a
wireless device near the body (this does not include extremities) is typical. This device should be used more
than 20 cm (8 inches) from the body when wireless devices are on and transmitting.
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common restrictions include:
When in environments where you are uncertain of the sanction to use wireless devices, ask the applicable
authority for authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless device.
Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices. Since your system is equipped with
a wireless device, when traveling between countries with your system, check with the local Radio Approval
authorities prior to any move or trip for any restrictions on the use of a wireless device in the destination
country.
Wireless devices are not user-serviceable. Do not modify them in any way. Modification to a wireless
device will void the authorization to use it. Please contact the manufacturer for service.
Device Power Supply
Use only the external power supply that comes with your thin client. For power and voltage ratings, see the
serial number label or regulatory label on your device. For power adapter replacement, contact your Service
Representative. For proper replacement compare the labels on both mobile thin client and power adapter to
ensure that their voltages match.
WARNING: Use of any other power adapter may damage your mobile thin client or the power adapter. The
damage caused by an improper power adapter is not covered by warranty.

1 Introduction
Wyse thin clients running Wyse ThinOS™ firmware are designed solely for optimal thin
client security and performance. These extremely efficient purpose-built thin clients
are virus- and malware-immune and offer ultra-fast access to applications, files, and
network resources within Citrix, Microsoft, VMware and Dell vWorkspace environments,
and other leading infrastructures. ThinOS-based thin clients are self-managed, go from
power-on to fully productive in seconds, and with no published API, locally accessible
file system or browser, require no local antivirus software or firewall to protect against
viruses or malware.

2 Getting Started: Quickly Learning
the Basics
Use the following information to quickly learn the basics and get started using your
thin client:
"Connecting to a Remote Server"
"Using Your Desktop"
"Configuring Thin Client Settings and Connection Settings"
"Connecting to a Printer"
"Connecting to a Monitor"
"Locking the Thin Client"
"Signing Off and Shutting Down"
"Additional Getting Started Details"
TIP: ThinOS is designed to be centrally managed and configured using INI files (to
automatically push updates and any desired default configuration to all supported thin
clients in your environment - see "Central Configuration: Automating Updates and
Configurations").
If no INI files are detected, you can use local dialog boxes (on each thin client) to make
available configurations. ThinOS will save many of these locally configured settings
(common settings such as resolution, mouse, keyboard, and so on) to persist after
reboot. However, once INI files are detected, rebooting causes ThinOS to become
stateless (ignoring locally configured settings after a reboot) and the settings contained
in the INI file will be used.
4 Chapter 2
Connecting to a Remote Server
TIP: On your initial connection to central configuration it is recommended that you
connect using a “wired connection” (plug in the network-connected ethernet cable to
your thin client before starting the thin client) to obtain the configurations desired by
the administrator. This “wired connection” will also provide any wireless configurations
provided by the administrator through the INI files.
If you must initially connect to central configuration through wireless, use the Wireless
tab in the Network Setup dialog box to enter the SSID and encryption configurations
required/set up by the network administrator (see "Network Setup").
Central Configuration - If you are set up for automatic detection (using INI files - see
Reference Guide: Wyse ThinOS
TM
INI Files), your thin client will automatically detect
and connect to the configured remote services during the boot-up process. Simply
press the power button to turn on your thin client to see the Login dialog box. Enter
your User name, Password, and Domain, and then click Login. After authentication is
successful, your available connections are presented for use.
TIP: Although the thin client will default to the Classic Desktop for INI backward
compatibility, you can configure the thin client to display the Zero Desktop by using the
SysMode=VDI parameter in the INI files or by selecting the desktop option in a dialog
box (see "Using Your Desktop").
Manual Connection - If you are not yet set up for central configuration, you will see
the Zero Toolbar, where you can configure the initial server connection you want using
the Remote Connections dialog box before you can log in. See "Manual Connection
Procedures."
You only need to complete this manual configuration once (or after reboot to factory
defaults). After the thin client knows” the location of your server, it automatically
connects to the server for login when you start the thin client in the future. After you
confirm your environment is ready for deployment, you can create INI files for central
configuration.
Getting Started: Quickly Learning the Basics 5
Manual Connection Procedures
1. Click the System Settings icon on the Zero Toolbar to
open the System Settings menu, and then click Remote
Connections to open the Remote Connections dialog
box.
2. Use the Broker Setup tab of the Remote Connections
dialog box to configure one of the following
connections:
ICA or RDP connection (select None, select ICA or
RDP, click Configure Connection, and then follow
the wizard).
A specific broker server connection (select
Microsoft, Citrix Xen, Dell vWorkspace, VMware
View, or Other and then enter the IP Address for the
server in the Broker Server box).
Note: For more details, see "Remote Connections."
3. Click OK, and then restart the thin client (click the
Shutdown icon on the Zero Toolbar to open and use
the Shutdown dialog box to restart the thin client).
(If You Configured an ICA or RDP Connection) After
thin client restart, click the Home icon on the Zero
Toolbar to open the list of available connections, click
the ICA or RDP connection you created, and then log
in.
(If You Configured a Specific Broker Server Connection)
After thin client restart, the Login dialog box appears
for your server.
Enter the User name, Password, and Domain and click
Login.
After authentication is successful, your Zero Toolbar is
presented with your assigned connections defined by
the broker server.
6 Chapter 2
Using Your Desktop
What you see after logging on to the server depends on the administrator
configurations.
In any desktop case, you can select the desktop option you want (Classic Desktop or
Zero Desktop) and create the connections you need using the Visual Experience tab on
the Remote Connections dialog box (see "Remote Connections").
To open the Remote Connections dialog box, do one of the following:
Classic Desktop - Click User Name (User Name is the user who is logged-on and is
located at the bottom-left side of the taskbar), and then select System Setup >
Remote Connections.
Zero Desktop - Click the System Settings icon on the Zero Toolbar, and then select
Remote Connections.
Users with a Classic Desktop - will see the classic ThinOS
desktop with full taskbar, desktop, and Connect Manager
familiar to ThinOS users. This option is the default
out-of-the-box experience and is recommended for
terminal server environments with published applications
and for backward compatibility with ThinOS 6.x versions.
For more information on using the Classic Desktop, see
"Classic Desktop Features."
Users with a Zero Desktop - will see the Zero Desktop
with the Zero Toolbar showing the assigned list of
connections from which to select. This option is
recommended for VDI and any full-screen only
connections.
For more information on using the Zero Desktop, see "Zero
Desktop Features."
Getting Started: Quickly Learning the Basics 7
Configuring Thin Client Settings and Connection Settings
While the use of INI files is recommended to configure thin client settings and
connection settings available to users (see "How to Set Up Automatic Updates and
Configurations"), you can use dialog boxes on a thin client to:
Set up your thin client hardware, look and feel, and system settings (see
"Configuring Thin Client Settings Locally").
Configure connection settings (see "Configuring Connection Settings Locally").
Connecting to a Printer
To connect a parallel printer to your thin client through a USB port, you will need a
USB-to-printer adapter cable (not included). Before use, you may need to install the
driver for the printer by following the printer driver installation instructions. For
information on connecting to printers, refer to "Printer."
Connecting to a Monitor
Depending on your thin client model, connections to monitors can be made using
either a VGA (analog) monitor port, a DVI (digital) monitor port, or a DisplayPort (digital)
and the proper Dell monitor cables/splitters/adapters. For information on configuring
dual display settings, see "Display."
TIP: For dual-monitor supported thin clients using a DVI to DVI/VGA splitter, the VGA
monitor will be the primary monitor. For dual-monitor supported thin clients using a
DisplayPort, the DisplayPort monitor will be the primary monitor.
Locking the Thin Client
To help ensure that no one else can access your private information without
permission, ThinOS allows you to lock your thin client so that credentials are required
to unlock and use the thin client after you do one of the following:
Unplug a signed-on smart card - If an administrator has set SCRemovalBehavior=1
for the Signing parameter in the INI files and you unplug the smart card that you
used to sign on to the thin client, then the thin client will lock. To unlock the thin
client for use, you must use the same smart card and your correct PIN. Note that
removing a signed-on smart card can also cause the thin client to log-off, if an
administrator has set the INI files to do so (in this case you must sign-on as usual to
use the thin client).
Use LockTerminal from the Shortcut Menu and Shutdown dialog box - On the
Classic Desktop, click on the desktop and select Lock Terminal, or use the
Shutdown dialog box (see "Classic Desktop Features"). On the Zero Desktop, use the
Shutdown dialog box (see "Signing Off and Shutting Down"). To open the thin client
for use, you must use your correct password.
Use the screen saver - If an administrator has set LockTerminal=2 for the
ScreenSaver parameter in the INI files and you use the screen saver, then the thin
client will lock. To open the thin client for use, you must use your correct password.
8 Chapter 2
Signing Off and Shutting Down
Use the Shutdown dialog box to select the available option you want:
Classic Desktop - Click Shutdown in the Connect Manager or Desktop Menu.
Zero Desktop - Click the Shutdown icon on the Zero Toolbar.
TIP: You can also configure automatic behavior after all desktop sessions are closed by
using the Remote Connections dialog box (see "Remote Connections") or the
AutoSignoff parameter in a wnos.ini file (see "Central Configuration: Automating
Updates and Configurations").
TIP: You can also display the Shutdown dialog box from the Login dialog box by
pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
Use the following guidelines (depending on user privilege, some options may not be
available for use):
Table 1 Shutdown dialog box options
