AdminMode={ no, yes}

[admin-username=<encrypted_ username>]

[admin-password=<encrypted_ password>]

[Username=<username>]

[Password=<password>]

[Enc-username=encrypted_username]

[Enc-password=encrypted_password]

AdminMode — Default is no. Yes/no option to use the username and the password to obtain a high thin client configuration when the privilege parameter level is set to high (Privilege=high).

admin-username — Specifies if admin-username=encrypted_username, then encrypted strings are used for admin-username; no minimum length; maximum length is 30 characters—15 characters convert to 30 characters encrypted.

admin-password — Specifies if admin-password=encrypted_password, then encrypted strings are used for admin-password; no minimum length; maximum length is 30 characters—15 characters convert to 30 characters encrypted.

Enc-username — Specifies if the username is encrypted, and encrypted strings are used for the Enc-username.

Enc-password — Specifies if the password is encrypted, and encrypted strings are used for the Enc-password.

BootOrder — Sets the boot order for the BIOS. The boot order must follow these rules:

1. The boot order is a list of these three options separated by a semi-colon (;) or a comma (,).

2. Every option must be used.

3. The options must be different.

BootOrder=PXE;HardDisk;USB
                                                BootOrder=HardDisk;PXE;USB
                                                BootOrder=USB;PXE;HardDisk
                                             

However, the following settings are invalid:

BootOrder=PXE;HardDisk
                                             BootOrder=PXE;PXE;USB
                                             BootOrder=PXE;HardDisk;USB;PXE
                                          

If the first boot order is not HardDisk, the system restart will boot from the BIOS setting.

Default is no.

BootpDisable — Yes/no option to disable BOOTP requests. ThinOS supports both DHCP and BOOTP to obtain the network configurations. In the first two attempts, only DHCP is requested. Then, both DHCP and BOOTP are requested.

For some environments, BOOTP requests will delay obtaining the IP from the DHCP server. Set BootpDisable=yes will only perform a DHCP request. This setting is only valid after the next reboot.

CmosPassword=<password>

[encrypt={no, yes}]

CmosPassword — Specifies the BIOS password on supported platforms; string up to 8 characters (Wyse 5010 thin client with ThinOS (D10D), Wyse 5010 thin client with PCoIP (D10DP), Wyse 5060 thin client with ThinOS, Wyse 5060 thin client with PCoIP, and Wyse 7010 thin client with ThinOS (Z10D).

encrypt — Default is yes. If encrypt=yes, an encrypted string is used as a password and the password is encoded by Dell Wyse encrypt tool.

CustomInfo={yes, no}

[Custom1=custom1_str]

[Custom2=custom2_str]

[Custom3=custom3_str]

[Location=location_str]

[Contact=contact_str]

Yes/no option to configure or store custom information. If CustomInfo=yes, the custom information configured by the following options will be stored into NVRAM. If CustomInfo=no, the custom information in NVRAM will be cleared.

For example:

CustomInfo=yes custom1=11 custom2=2 custom3=3 location=wyse contact=peter

Default is “16 100 36”; where DeskColor = “16 100 36” (green) is the default.

Specifies the desktop background color in RGB string format that must be enclosed in quotes, where rrr, ggg, and bbb are decimal numbers in the rage of 0 to 255. When using this parameter in a wnos.ini file, it will be saved to NVRAM if EnableLocal is set to yes in the wnos.ini file.

**Desktop=bitmap file

[Layout={center, tile, stretch}]

[IconTextColor="rrr ggg bbb"]

Desktop — Specifies a bitmap file to be used as wallpaper for the local desktop. This file could be a 4-bit, 8-bit, or 24-bit BMP file or a standard GIF file or a standard JPEG file. The file must be located in the FTP server wnos\bitmap directory. Default is Wyse wallpaper. To disable the parameter, leave value blank (Desktop=wysedefault).

Layout — Default is stretch. Specifies the arrangement on the desktop background of the bitmap file specified by the Desktop parameter, if auto dial-up is set, Layout is invalid.

For center, the image is placed in the center of the desktop without image size change. For tile, the image is replicated across the desktop. For stretch, the image is modified to fill the desktop.

IconTextColor — Specifies the icon text color in RGB string format that must be enclosed in quotes, where rrr, ggg and bbb are decimal numbers in the range of 0 to 255.

Device=cmos

[Action={extract, restore}]

[Password=password]

[encrypt={no, yes}]

[BootOrder={PXE, HardDisk, USB}]

[WakeOnLan={yes, no}]

[AutoPower={yes, no}]

[BootFromUSB={yes, no}]

[USBController={yes, no}]

[COMController={yes, no}]

[PopupMenu={yes, no}]

[OnboardAudio={yes, no}]

[Bluetooth={yes, no}]

CMOS management (extract and restore cmos settings).

Wyse ThinOS log: "CMOS: extract to $PF_cmos.$VER"

Restore — For restore action, CMOS content is updated from the file:

$PF_cmos.$VER

Wyse ThinOS log: "CMOS: restore from $PF_cmos.$VER"

After the administrator configures the CMOS on a template unit, the administrator should sign on to the cmos account on ThinOS to have the CMOS content saved to the cmos file on a writable File Server wnos directory.

Then, the wnos.ini should be configured with Device=CMOS action=restore, so that all target units will be updated with the same CMOS setting as the template unit after reboot.

Once the restore action is finished, both the Device=cmos Action=extract and Device=CMOS action=restore should be removed from the related INI files.

The usage of other settings is self-explanatory. The only condition to use the settings is the BIOS GUI should have such settings.

vid_pid={device vid/pin hex format}

Allows to trace maximum of eight devices at one time. For "max_len", set a max len for capturing each USB transfer data. Default value is 128. After you set this, you need to set option in Trouble shooting to start tracing the USB device data.

Default is no.

Yes/no option to reset the system settings to factory default. This parameter, when set to yes, is only initialized once for each firmware change; however, you can set to no and then reboot so the option will be initialized again.

For {username}.ini file only. Specifies to include another INI file at the position of this parameter. Only one level of including is allowed (no nesting) and only for a {username}.ini file.

KeySequence=yes enables all of these options, each having a default of yes or no as noted that you can change individually to the setting desired.

KeySequence=no disables all of these options regardless of the individual settings.

Ctrl+Alt+Del — Default is no. Yes/no option to enable Ctrl+Alt+Del to lock the thin client if the user is logged in with a password. If the user is logged in without a password, this key sequence does not work.

Ctrl+Alt+Up — Default is yes. Yes/no option to enable Ctrl+Alt+Up to toggle a session between fullscreen and window mode.

Ctrl+Alt+Right — Default is yes. Yes/no option to enable Ctrl+Alt+Right Arrow to lock the thin client if the user is logged in with a password. If the user is logged in without a password, this key sequence does not work.
