Release scope

ThinOS 8.3.2 release is intended to support a new platform—Wyse 3040 thin client. A few updates to the existing features or new enhancements may be included in each release. To know more about the feature updates since ThinOS 8.3.1 release, see Dell Wyse ThinOS 8.3.1 Hot Fix Release Notes and Dell Wyse ThinOS 8.3.2 Release Notes.

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

• Conguring 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 congured using INI les to automatically push updates and any desired default conguration to all supported thin clients in your environment — see Central Conguration: Automating Updates and Congurations.

If no INI les are detected, you can use local dialog boxes on each thin client to make available congurations. ThinOS will save many of these locally congured 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 congured settings after a reboot and then the settings contained in the INI le will be used.

Connecting to a Remote Server

On your initial connection to central conguration, 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 congurations desired by the administrator. This wired connection will also provide any wireless congurations provided by the administrator through INI les.

If you must initially connect to central conguration through wireless, use the Wireless tab in the Network Setup dialog box to enter the SSID and encryption congurations required or set up by the network administrator. For more information, see Conguring the

Network Settings.

Central Conguration — If you are congured for automatic detection using INI les — see client will automatically detect and connect to the congured 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 congure 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 conguration, you will see the Zero Toolbar, where you can congure 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

You only need to complete this manual conguration 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 conrm that your environment is ready for deployment, you can create INI les for central conguration.

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 congure one of the following connections:

• ICA or RDP connection —Select None, select ICA or RDP, click Congure Connection, and then follow the wizard.

• A specic broker server connection — Select Microsoft, Citrix Xen, Dell vWorkspace, VMware View, Amazon WorkSpaces

or Other, and then enter the IP Address for the server in the Broker Server box.

NOTE: For more details, see Conguring 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 congured— 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 specic Broker Server connection is congured— 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 dened by the broker server.

Using Your Desktop

What you see after logging on to the server depends on the administrator congurations.

• 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.

Conguring Thin Client Settings and Connection Settings

While the use of INI les is recommended to congure thin client settings and connection settings available to users , see How to Set

Up Automatic Updates and Congurations, you can use dialog boxes on a thin client to:

• Set up your thin client hardware, look and feel, and system settings, see Conguring Thin Client Settings Locally.

• Congure connection settings, see Conguring 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 Conguring 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 conguring 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.

Conguring 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 congure automatic behavior after all desktop sessions are closed by using the Remote Connections dialog box, see Central Conguration: Automating Updates and Congurations.

Conguring the Connectivity

This chapter helps you to understand various conguration settings for a secure connection. Connectivity menu includes:

• Conguring the Network Settings.

• Conguring the Remote Connections.

• Conguring the Central Congurations.

• Conguring the VPN Manager.

Important:

To congure the settings on Classic desktop, click System Setup from the desktop menu, and use the conguration tabs.

To congure the settings on Zero desktop, click the System Settings icon on the zero toolbar, and then use the conguration tabs.

Conguring the Network Settings

To congure the network settings use the following options:

• Conguring the General Settings.

• Conguring the Options Settings.

• Conguring the ENET Settings.

• Conguring the WLAN Settings.

• Conguring the Proxy Settings.

Conguring the General Settings

To congure the general network settings:

1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Network Setup. The Network Setup dialog box is displayed.

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 reects 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 specic 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 sux 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 congured values. If the DHCP server does not supply these values, the locally congured 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 specic IP address (instead of a name) is entered for a

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.

3. Click OK to save the settings.

Conguring the DHCP Options Settings

To congure the options settings:

1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Network Setup. The Network Setup dialog box is displayed.

2. Click the Options tab, and use the following guidelines:

a. DHCP Option IDs — Enter the supported DHCP options. Each value can only be used once and must be between 128 and

254. For information about DHCP options, see DHCP Options. b. Interpret DHCP Vendor-Specic Info — Select this check box for automatic interpretation of the vendor information. c. DHCP Vendor ID — Shows the DHCP Vendor ID when the dynamically allocated over DHCP/BOOTP option is selected.

d. DHCP UserClass ID — Shows the DHCP UserClass ID when the dynamically allocated over DHCP/BOOTP option is

selected.

3. Click OK to save the settings.

Conguring the ENET Settings

To congure the ENET settings:

1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Network Setup. The Network Setup dialog box is displayed.

2. Click the ENET tab, and use the following guidelines:

a. Ethernet Speed — Normally the default (Auto-Detect) should be selected, but another selection can be made if automatic

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 congure 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 specied 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 dierentiate 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 specied through local conguration 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 specied, 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 dened 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 congure 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 specied 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 specic 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 congured value. If the DHCP server does not supply this value, the locally congured value is used.

e. Select the check box to enable IEEE802.1x Authentication.

• EAP Type — If you have enabled the Enable IEEEE 802.1x authentication check box, select the EAP Type option you want (TLS, LEAP PEAP or FAST).

• TLS — If you select the TLS option, click Properties to open and congure the Authentication Properties dialog box.

– Select the Validate Server Certicate check box because it is mandatory to validate your server certicate.

NOTE:

The CA certicate must be installed on the thin client. Also note that the server certicate text eld supports a maximum of approximately 127 characters, and supports multiple server names.

– If you select the Connect to these servers check box, the box is enabled where you can enter the IP address of

server.

– Click Browse to nd and select the Client Certicate le and Private Key le you want.

The following kinds of server names are supported — all examples are based on Cert Common name company.wyse.com

NOTE:

Using only the FQDN, that is company.wyse.com does not work. You must use one of the options (note that *.wyse.com is the most common option as multiple authentication servers may exist): servername.wyse.com

*.wyse.com

*wyse.com

*.com

f. LEAP — If you select the LEAP option, click Properties to open and congure the Authentication Properties dialog box.

Be sure to use the correct Username and Password for authentication. The maximum length for the username or the password is 64 characters.

g. PEAP — If you select the PEAP option, click Properties to open and congure the Authentication Properties dialog box.

Be sure to select either Validate Server Certicate is optional.

NOTE:

The server certicate text box for LEAP and PEAP supports a maximum of approximately 127 characters, and supports multiple server names.

h. FAST—If you select the FAST option, click Properties to open and congure the Authentication Properties dialog box. Be

sure to select either EAP_GTC or EAP_MSCHAPv2, and then use the correct Username, Password and Domain. Validate Server Certicate is optional.

i. To congure EAP-GTC, enter the username only. The password or PIN is required when authenticating.

To congure EAP-MSCHAPv2, enter the username, password and domain.

EAP_GTC or EAP_MSCHAPv2, and then use the correct Username, Password and Domain.

Important: The domain/username in the username box is supported, but you must leave the domain box blank.

The CA certicate must be installed on the thin client and the server certicate is forced to be validated. When EAPMSCCHAPV2 is selected in EAP type in the Authentication Properties dialog box (for PEEP IEEE802.1x authentication), an option to hide the domain is available for selection. Username and Password boxes are available for use, but the Domain text box is disabled.

3. Click OK to save the settings.

Conguring the WLAN Settings

1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Network Setup. The Network Setup dialog box is displayed.

2. Click the WLAN tab, and use the following guidelines:

a. Add— Use this option to add and congure a new SSID connection.

You can congure the SSID connection from the available security type options.

b. After you congure the SSID connection, the added SSID connection is listed on the page of the WLAN tab. c.

Properties — Use this option to view and congure the authentication properties of a SSID connection that is displayed in

the list.

e. Select the Disable Wireless Device check box, if you want to disable a wireless device.

From ThinOS 8.3, EAP-FAST authentication is supported. During the initial connection, when there is a request for a Tunnel PAC from the authenticator, the PAC is used to complete the authentication. Therefore, the rst time connection always fails and the following connections succeed.

New User Interface (UI): Wireless → EAP Type → EAP - FAST; Second authentication method supports MSCHAPv2/GTC

•

only for EAP-FAST.

• Only automatic PAC provisioning is supported in this release. The user/machine PAC provisioning generated with Cisco EAP-

FAST utility is not supported.

3. Click OK to save the settings.

Conguring the Proxy Settings

The network Proxy tab is added to support Cloud Client Manager (CCM) and HDX Flash Redirection.

Supported Protocols

• For HDX FR, HTTP and HTTPS protocols are supported.

– If both are congured, the HDX FR works with HTTPS proxy. – User credential pass through is possible with $UN/$PW.

• For CCM, HTTP, HTTPS and Socks5 (recommended) protocols are supported.

1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Network Setup. The Network Setup dialog box is displayed.

2. Click the Proxy tab, and use the following guidelines:

a. Enter the HTTP proxy port number or HTTPS proxy port number, Username and Password in the respective elds.

However, Credential pass through ($UN/$PW) is not recommended because it starts before user sign on.

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 congured, then CCM proxy uses the SOCKS5 only. If SOCKS5 is not congured, then CCM proxy

searches for alternative protocols, for example, HTTP in the conguration.

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. Congure correct proxy server host and port.

2. Congure the user credentials according to the proxy server settings.

3. On system restart, the client checks in to the CCM server through Socks5 proxy server.

4. MQTT connection is established through Socks5 proxy server.

5. Real-time commands work ne through Socks5 proxy server.

6. Connect to the Citrix desktop, congure proxy in internet options of the browser, and then playback HDX FR through the

HTTP/HTTPS proxy authentication.
