Preparing the Root Directory and Folder Structure on the Server

To prepare the root directory and folder structure on the server:
  1. Set up the following folder structure on your server under the C:/inetpub/ftproot folder for FTP or C:/inetpub/wwwroot folder for HTTP or HTTPS and place your INI files and other necessary files inside the structure as noted.
  2. This list describes the folder structure, starting with the root directory.
    Table 1. Root directory. The following table lists the different parameters:

    /wyse/

    The root directory. It stores the wlx2 folder and the addons folder

    It also stores the following files, which are used for imaging and updating devices:
    • thin-linux-<version>.raw
    • thin-linux.info

    /wyse/wlx2
    The main INI configuration folder. It stores the following:
    • wlx.ini file or MAC.ini file
    • bitmap folder
    • certs folder
    • ini folder

    /wyse/wlx2/bitmap

    The folder where you can place custom images you plan to use.

    /wyse/wlx2/certs

    The folder where you can place the CA certificates that can be imported to a thin client.

    • NOTE: To import the certificates to the thin clients, use the Certs and ImportCerts INI parameters.

    /wyse/addons

    The folder where you can place the add-ons you want to use. It also stores the directory file and the *.rpm packages available to be installed on the thin client. The directory file should list all available add-ons. The directory file is required in the addons folder to guarantee that add-ons are properly located.

    • NOTE: If you want to do an update with the Preserve changes option enabled, ensure that your addons folder includes a copy of your current add-ons. The system may require two reboots to fully update the firmware and add-ons while preserving local changes.

    Be sure to create/activate the two required MIME Types— .ini and .,under IIS on a per site basis to enable downloading. Also be sure your Web server can identify the file types used by Dell thin clients.

  3. On your IIS server, use the File Types menu to add a New Type.
  4. In the File Type dialog box, Use the following details :
    1. To create/activate the .ini MIME Type—Enter the Associated extension .ini and Content type (MIME) text/plain.
    2. Click OK to apply the settings.
    3. To create/activate the . MIME Type—Enter the Associated extension . and Content type (MIME) text/plain.
    4. Click OK to apply the settings.
    For detailed instructions on adding the .ini and . MIME Types, see Knowledge Base Solution #21581 , go to www.dell.com/wyse/knowledgebase and search for 21581.
