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
•Conguring Thin Client Settings and Connection Settings
•Connecting to a Printer
•Connecting to a Monitor
•Locking the Thin Client
•Signing O and Shutting Down
•Additional Getting Started Details
NOTE:
ThinOS is centrally managed and congured using INI les to automatically push updates and any desired default conguration
to all supported thin clients in your environment — see Central Conguration: Automating Updates and Congurations.
If no INI les are detected, you can use local dialog boxes on each thin client to make available congurations. ThinOS will save
many of these locally congured settings such as resolution, mouse, and keyboard to persist after reboot. However, once INI
les are detected, rebooting causes ThinOS to become stateless while ignoring locally congured settings after a reboot and
then the settings contained in the INI le will be used.
2
Connecting to a Remote Server
On your initial connection to central conguration, we 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 congurations desired by the
administrator. This wired connection will also provide any wireless congurations provided by the administrator through INI les.
If you must initially connect to central conguration through wireless, use the Wireless tab in the Network Setup dialog box to enter
the SSID and encryption congurations required or set up by the network administrator. For more information, see Conguring the
Network Settings.
Central Conguration — If you are congured for automatic detection using INI les — see
client will automatically detect and connect to the congured remote services during the boot-up process. 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.
NOTE:
Although the thin client will default to the Classic Desktop for INI backward compatibility, you can congure the thin client to
display the Zero Desktop by using the SysMode=VDI parameter in the INI les or by selecting the desktop option in the dialog
box. For more information, see Using Your Desktop.
Manual Connection — If you are not yet set up for central conguration, you will see the Zero Toolbar, where you can congure the
initial server connection you want using the Remote Connections dialog box before you can log in. For more information, see
Connecting to a Remote Server manually.
Dell Wyse ThinOS INI Guide
, your thin

Page 9
You only need to complete this manual conguration 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 conrm that
your environment is ready for deployment, you can create INI les for central conguration.
Connecting a Remote Server Manually
To connect a Remote Server manually, complete the following tasks:
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.Click the Broker Setup tab of the Remote Connections dialog box to congure one of the following connections:
•ICA or RDP connection —Select None, select ICA or RDP, click Congure Connection, and then follow the wizard.
or Other, and then enter the IP Address for the server in the Broker Server box.
NOTE: For more details, see Conguring the 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.
NOTE:
•If an ICA or RDP connection is congured— After thin client restarts, 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 a specic Broker Server connection is congured— 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 dened by the broker server.
Using Your Desktop
What you see after logging on to the server depends on the administrator congurations.
•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.
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.
To open the Remote Connections dialog box, perform one of the following tasks:
•Classic Desktop — Click User Name , and then select System Setup → Remote Connections.
NOTE: User Name is the user who is logged-on and is located at the lower-left pane of the taskbar
•Zero Desktop — Click the System Settings icon on the Zero Toolbar, and then select Remote Connections.

Conguring Thin Client Settings and Connection Settings
While the use of INI les is recommended to congure thin client settings and connection settings available to users , see How to Set
Up Automatic Updates and Congurations, you can use dialog boxes on a thin client to:
•Set up your thin client hardware, look and feel, and system settings, see Conguring Thin Client Settings Locally.
•Congure connection settings, see Conguring Thin Client Settings Locally.
Connecting to a Printer
To connect a local printer to your thin client, be sure you obtain and use the correct adapter cables which are 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, see Conguring the Printer Setup.
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 conguring dual
display settings, see
NOTE:
For dual-monitor supported thin clients— when using a DVI to DVI/VGA splitter, ensure that the DVI monitor will be the
primary monitor; when using a DisplayPort, ensure that the DisplayPort monitor will be the primary monitor.
Conguring the Display Settings.
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=1for the signing parameter in the INI
les 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-o, if an administrator has set the INI les to do so in this case you must sign-on as usual to use the
thin client.
•Use Lock Terminal from the Shortcut Menu and Shutdown dialog box — On the Classic Desktop, right-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 O and Shutting Down. To use the thin client, you must use your correct password.
•Use the screen saver — If an administrator has set LockTerminal=2 for the ScreenSaver parameter in the INI les 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.
Signing O 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.
NOTE: You can also congure automatic behavior after all desktop sessions are closed by using the Remote Connections
dialog box, see Central Conguration: Automating Updates and Congurations.

1.From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Network Setup.
The Network Setup dialog box is displayed.
21
Page 22
2.Click the General tab, and use the following guidelines:
a. To set the default gateway, select the type of network interface from the available options.
1.Single Network support — Either wireless or wired network is connected.
•ENET — Click this option, if you want set up the Ethernet Wired Network Connection.
•WLAN — Click this option, if you want set up the Wireless Network Connection.
•If the user use wireless network after selecting ENET connection or wired network after selecting WLAN
connection, then the system log "WLAN: set default gate way xx.xx.xx.xx" for rst case and "ENET: set default
gate way xx.xx.xx.xx" for second case are printed to ensure that the UI setting reects the actual usage.
NOTE: The User Interface (UI) will not be changed automatically.
2.Dual Network support — Both wireless and wired networks are connected. The default gateway is determined by the
UI settings.
b. Use Static Name Servers— By default, this check box is not selected (OFF=dynamicfrom DHCP).
If name servers are changed using GUI, INI or link down/ up, then the details are displayed in Event Logs.
In dynamic mode, the DNS/WINS can be merged from Ethernet and Wireless, if network is not working.
c. Enter the URL address of the DNS Domain in the DNS Domain box.
d. Enter the IP address of the DNS Server in the DNS Server box.
Use of DNS is optional. DNS allows you to specify remote systems by their host names rather than IP addresses. If a
specic IP address (instead of a name) is entered for a connection, it is used to make the connection. Enter the DNS
Domain and the network address of an available DNS Server. The function of the DNS Domain entry is to provide a default
sux to be used in name resolution. The values for these two boxes may be supplied by a DHCP server. If the DHCP server
supplies these values, they replace any locally congured values. If the DHCP server does not supply these values, the
locally congured values will be used.
NOTE: You can enter up to 16 DNS Server addresses, separated by a semicolon, comma, or space. The rst
address is for the primary DNS server and the rest are secondary DNS servers or backup DNS servers .
e. Enter the IP address of the WINS Server in the WINS Server box.
Use of WINS is optional. Enter the network address of an available WINS name server. WINS allows you to specify remote
systems by their host names rather than IP addresses. If a specic IP address (instead of a name) is entered for a
22
Page 23
connection, it is used to make the connection. These entries can be supplied through DHCP, if DHCP is used. DNS and
WINS provide essentially the same function, name resolution. If both DNS and WINS are available, the thin client attempts
to resolve the name using DNS rst and then WINS.
You can enter two WINS Server addresses (primary and secondary), separated by a semicolon, comma, or space.
f. Enter the digit multiplier of 30 seconds in the TCP Timeout box to set the time-out value of a TCP connection. The value
must be 1 or 2 which means the connection time-out value is from 1x30= 30 seconds to 2x30= 60 seconds. If the data for
connecting to the server is not acknowledged and the connection is time out, setting the time-out period retransmits the
sent data and again tries to connect to the server till the connection is established.

negotiation is not supported by your network equipment. Selections include Auto-Detect, 10 MB Half-Duplex, 10 MB Full-Duplex, 100 MB Half-Duplex, 100 MB Full-Duplex, and 1 GB Full-Duplex.
The 10 MB Full-Duplex option can be selected locally at the device, however, this mode may need to be negotiated through
AutoDetect.
b. The IPV4 check box is selected by default. Click Properties to set various options supported by IPV4.
•Dynamically allocated over DHCP/BOOTP — Selecting this option enables your thin client to automatically receive
information from the DHCP server. The network administrator must congure the DHCP server using DHCP options to
provide information. Any value provided by the DHCP server replaces any value entered locally on the Options tab,
however, locally entered values are used if the DHCP server fails to provide replacement values.
24
Page 25
•Statically specied IP Address — Select this option to manual enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default
Gateway:
– IP Address — Must be a valid network address in the server environment. The network administrator must provide
this information.
– Subnet Mask — Enter the value of the subnet mask. A subnet mask is used to gain access to machines on other
subnets. The subnet mask is used to dierentiate the location of other IP addresses with two choices: same subnet
or other subnet. If the location is other subnet, messages sent to that address must be sent through the Default
Gateway, whether specied through local conguration or through DHCP. The network administrator must provide
this value.
– Default Gateway — Use of gateways is optional. Gateways are used to interconnect multiple networks (routing or
delivering IP packets between them). The default gateway is used for accessing the internet or an intranet with
multiple subnets. If no gateway is specied, the thin client can only address other systems on the same subnet.
Enter the address of the router that connects the thin client to the internet. The address must exist on the same
subnet as the thin client as dened by the IP address and the subnet mask. If DHCP is used, the address can be
supplied through DHCP.
c. Select the IPV6 check box, and then click Advanced to select various IPV6 supported setting options from the available
check boxes.
d. Click properties and use the following guidelines:
•Wait DHCP — Selecting this option enables your thin client to wait for IPV6 DHCP before the sign-in, if not selected
the system will only wait for IPV4 DHCP if enabled.
•Dynamically allocated over DHCP/BOOTP — Selecting this option enables your thin client to automatically receive
information from the DHCP server. The network administrator must congure the DHCP server (using DHCP options)
to provide information. Any value provided by the DHCP server replaces any value entered locally on the Options tab,
however, locally entered values are used if the DHCP server fails to provide replacement values.
•Statically specied IP Address — Select this option to manually enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default
Gateway.
– IP Address — Must be a valid network address in the server environment. The network administrator must provide
this information.
– Subnet Mask — Enter the value of the subnet mask. For more information, see various options supported by IPV4
in this section.
– Default Gateway — Use of gateways is optional. For more information, see various options supported by IPV4 in
this section.
•DNS Servers — Use of DNS is optional. DNS allows you to specify remote systems by their host names rather than IP
addresses. If a specic IP address (instead of a name) is entered for a connection, it rather than DNS is used to make
the connection. Enter the network address of an available DNS Server. The value for this box may be supplied by a
DHCP server. If the DHCP server supplies this value, it replaces any locally congured value. If the DHCP server does
not supply this value, the locally congured value is used.
e. Select the check box to enable IEEE802.1x Authentication.

CCM uses both HTTP/HTTPS and MQTT protocols to communicate with CCM/MQTT server. However, the HTTP proxy
cannot redirect TCP packages to MQTT server which requires a Socks5 proxy server. If there is only HTTP server
available, then the real-time command that requires MQTT will not work.
HTTP/HTTPS proxy default port is 808, and SOCK5 proxy default port is 1080.
b.Select the Use the rst proxy server for all protocols check box to allow all the protocols to use the same server in HTTP
Proxy elds. Both HTTP and HTTPS proxy use the same host and port, and Socks5 proxy agent uses HTTP host with
default Socks 5 port (1080).
c.If SOCKS5 proxy is congured, then CCM proxy uses the SOCKS5 only. If SOCKS5 is not congured, then CCM proxy
searches for alternative protocols, for example, HTTP in the conguration.
d.Specify the supported applications as CCM and FR in the Apply proxy server on eld.
3.Click OK to save the settings.
User Scenarios
1.Congure correct proxy server host and port.
2.Congure the user credentials according to the proxy server settings.

VMware Horizon View broker and PCoIP
VMware Horizon View Broker timeout— The VMware Horizon View Broker timeout does not force the user to sign out from the
broker anymore when the secure tunnel is enabled.
In earlier version of ThinOS, when the broker times out, the user session is disconnected and the user is logged out from the broker.
From ThinOS 8.2 release, ThinOS disconnects the user session from the broker, but does not force user logout. This is because the
user has local connections other than the broker desktop, and these connections are active when the broker timeout is reached.
PCoIP session NUM/CAP keyboard status synchronizes with session instead of thin client—This is applicable for session startup
only. The PCoIP session keyboard NUM/ CAP status synchronizes from remote session to client, whereas RDP/ ICA synchronize
status from local to remote session.
For example,
1.Set keyboard NUM=off in current PCoIP session.
2.Disconnect the session.
3.Set client keyboard NUM=on.
4.Reconnect to the PCoIP session.
5.The keyboard NUM status in both session and client is updated to NUM=off.
RDS desktop through PCoIP—You can view and connect to the Remote Desktop Service (RDS) desktop through the PCoIP
protocol in the broker using PCoIP enabled ThinOS clients. In VMware Horizon View 6.0 and later versions, the RDS desktop has
RDP and PCoIP connections based on server congurations.
NOTE: The RDS Application over PCoIP is not supported.
The RDS desktop protocol switch message dialog box is provided in this release. A typical user scenario is as follows:
1.Connect to the RDS desktop through protocol. For example, RDP.
2.Disconnect from the desktop.
33
Page 34
3.Connect to the same RDS desktop through another protocol. For example, PCoIP.
The message dialog box is displayed, allowing you with an option to continue.
The options available are:
•Cancel— You can end the PCoIP connection, and connect to the desktop in RDP again.
•Log Out and Reconnect— You can connect to the desktop through PCoIP, and the earlier session in RDP is logged out.
USB redirection RDS desktop through PCoIP— This feature is supported.

Introduction to HealthCast
HealthCast Single Sign-On (SSO) solution is designed to improve user convenience, streamline workow, and strengthen security
compliance in demanding environments. The same proximity cards used for physical access are used to tap-in and tap-out of unique
user sessions and to tap-over any sessions unintentionally left open on the ThinOS devices. Typically, you must type in your password
only one time each day and use your proximity cards to streamline workow and save time as they move between shared computers
54
Page 55
securely. Also, proximity cards can be secured with a PIN, if congured by the organization. The HealthCast SSO solution also
supports user self-service password reset so that you can reset your own passwords without the need to call the help desk.
NOTE: HealthCast SSO Solution on ThinOS is a client-server solution. ThinOS provides the client-side functionality, but
you must also install and congure the HealthCast Server components on a server system in order for the solution to
work properly. Contact HealthCast on
requirements, and conguration information.
