This brief instructional video is designed to demonstrate how to use the Wise Management Suite to upgrade the firmware on a Wye ThiOS client. The first thing you will need is the actual firmware file. This is the firmware file. You will need to upload to the Wise Management suite server.
It is the same file you would use to upgrade a Wise thin O client using the FTP or HTTP upgrade method. These firmware files are specific to the Wyse ThinOS edition whether that's YCO standard Y thos with PC IP support or W thin OS light also known as Zenith. They are also specific to the hardware platform for this demo. I have a wise 3040 with Wye ThiOS with PC O IP support. So I will need the file P A 10-Q underscore Wyse ThinOS.
Now I'm going to log into the Wise Management Suite console you can see that I have on the right side of the screen on the left side of the screen I have a wise 3040 thin client ready to upgrade. The first thing I'm going to do is an optional step where I'm going to take the default policy group. And I'm going to edit the group token from the DEF AD E fa to de fa default group.
Once that's done I'll go ahead and just save that. So I've changed that group token now on the device on the left hand side I'm actually going to go into the central configuration under the WD A tab and then select CCM which is now called W MS or Wise Management suite and enter the group registration key of de fa default group uh for the WM server. I'm going to go ahead and enter in the Wise Management suite on prem server that I have here. If I was using the cloud based version I could leave the defaults. Uh That was what was pre populated there. But I again I have an on prem version.
So I'll just put in my demo 17 dash W MS and it clearly enable C A validation when I validate the key. Uh You can see that the validation is successful and my device will go ahead and communicate with my wise management suite server and reboot and uh start the uh communication once that's done on the right hand side I'll go into devices and now I can see my devices available. I can see that it's a W in OS with PC IP running 8.4 108. I'm going to go into apps and data and I'm going to go ahead and upload the firmware file that I mentioned.
So I'll just go ahead and browse out on my local machine. And now here again you can see I've got the P 10-Q underscore W on on West file and then just give that a short description and then click on upload. Now that's actually being added to the local software repository of my wise management suite server. So that can be available and assigned to any group that I want. In this case I'm gonna go back to the default policy group. Edit the policy for firmware upgrade. I will select to configure this item and the platform again we're using the uh the Y 3040.
So go ahead and select from the drop down list. I can see my wise 3040 with PC IP and the firmware version the 8.4112 and I go ahead and click yes save and publish that. So now uh my default group uh will get that setting which is to upgrade the firmware. Now my device uh again is in that default group. Um I did not choose to do a live upgrade but let's go ahead and just look at the device and we can see it's on the 8.4108 firmware right now. And let's go ahead and send a reboot command. Now my device reboots and again it's going to communicate with the wise management suite server um it'll apply the default policy configuration uh which tells it to upgrade the firmware. Yeah. And again there are a couple uh separate packages we'll update in this case um when they have a device that supports PC IP you can see a package specific to that.
So it is a little bit larger uh upgrade uh about 30 megs for this particular demo. And now we can go see the upgrade has completed successfully and just confirm here that now we are indeed running eight by 4112. And you can see that reflected uh in the screen on the right.
