Reference Guide Dell Wyse ThinOS Release 8.3.1 – INI Files

Working with $MAC.ini Files

A $MAC.ini file can be used for device-specific configurations. If the thin client locates a wnos.ini file, then the wnos.ini file is processed and if the Include=$MAC.ini statement is included, then the $MAC.ini file is processed. The $MAC.ini file is stored in the same directory as a wnos.ini file if you are not using a WNOS.INI file, otherwise the files should be stored in the INC directory.

  • NOTE:

    The placement of the include=$MAC.ini parameter within the wnos.ini file will dictate which value will take priority for a same specific parameter that is contained in both the wnos.ini file and the $MAC.ini file but is defined differently, that is different values for the same parameter.

For example, if the wnos.ini file has parameterA=valueRED, and the $MAC.ini file has the same parameterA=valueBLUE, then:
  • If the include=$MAC.ini parameter is included in the wnos.ini file before the parameterA=valueBLUE statement, then the $MAC.ini parameterA=valueRED is discarded and parameterA=valueBLUE from the wnos.ini file is the final value used.

  • If the include=$MAC.ini parameter is included in the wnos.ini file after the parameterA=valueBLUE statement, then the $MAC.ini parameterA=valueBLUE is discarded and parameterA=valueRED from the wnos.ini file is the final value used.
