Dell Wyse ThinOS Version 9.0 Administrator’s Guide

Configure the general system preferences

1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup > System Preferences.
   The System Preferences dialog box is displayed.
2. Click the General tab, and do the following:

   

   1. From the Screen Saver drop-down list, select a screensaver for your device. The default value is set to Turn Off Screen.
      The Disabled check box is available if you select the Screen Saver as None. Selecting the Disabled check box disables the Timer option and the lock terminal function.
   2. In the Timer box, select the idle time after which you want the screensaver to be activated on the thin client. When the thin client is left idle for the specified idle time, the screensaver is initiated. The default value is set to 10 minutes.
   3. From the Locale drop-down list, select a language to be activated for the user login-experience. The default language is set to English.
      NOTE Locale changes the language for the user login-experience screens only that are displayed during boot-up and login. The configuration or administrator screens remain unaltered.

      Only the following messages are applicable for French locales:

      • Username/Password/Domain
      • System Information
      • Shut down the system, restart the system, reset the system setting to factory default
      • OK, Cancel

   4. In the Terminal Name box, specify a name for the thin client. The default is a 14-character string that is composed of letters WT and followed by the Ethernet MAC address of the device.
      NOTE Some DHCP servers use the value that is entered in the Terminal Name to identify the IP address lease in the DHCP manager display.
