A First Boot Wizard application runs the first time when you start a thin client with ThinOS. The thin client starts the First Boot Wizard application before you enter the ThinOS desktop. Use this application to perform tasks, such as, configuring system preferences, setting up the Internet connectivity, loading USB configurations, configuring management software, and configuring broker connections.
Prerequisites
If you are an existing thin client user, and you have upgraded to the ThinOS version 9.x, reset your thin client to factory default settings to enter the First Boot Wizard.
NOTE:If DHCP contains the Wyse Management Suite configurations, the ThinOS desktop is loaded without entering the First Boot Wizard and you cannot view the End User License Agreement.
About this task
This section describes how to configure ThinOS using First Boot Wizard.
Steps
Connect your thin client to an Ethernet using a wired connection.
NOTE:If you want to use a wireless connection, you can connect to Wi-Fi on the
