On your initial connection to central configuration,
we recommended that you connect using a
wired connection plug
in the network-connected Ethernet cable to your thin client before
starting the thin client to obtain the configurations desired by the
administrator. This
wired connection will also provide any
wireless configurations provided by the administrator through INI
files.
If you must initially connect to central configuration
through wireless, use the Wireless tab in the
Network Setup dialog box to enter the SSID and encryption configurations required
or set up by the network administrator. For more information, see
Configuring
the Network Settings
.
Central Configuration — If you are configured
for automatic detection using INI files — see
Dell Wyse ThinOS
INI Guide
, your thin client will automatically detect and
connect to the configured remote services during the boot-up process.
Press the power button to turn on your thin client to see the
Login dialog box. Enter your User name, Password, and Domain, and then
click
Login. After authentication is successful, your available
connections are presented.

NOTE:
Although the thin client will default to the Classic
Desktop for INI backward compatibility, you can configure the thin
client to display the Zero Desktop by using the SysMode=VDI parameter
in the INI files or by selecting the desktop option in the dialog
box. For more information, see
Using Your Desktop.
Manual Connection — If you are not yet set
up for central configuration, you will see the Zero Toolbar, where
you can configure the initial server connection you want using the
Remote Connections dialog box before you can log in. For more
information, see
Connecting to a
Remote Server manually
.
You only need to complete this manual configuration
once or after reboot to factory defaults. After the thin client knows
the location of your server, it automatically connects to the server
for login when you start the thin client in the future. After you
confirm that your environment is ready for deployment, you can create
INI files for central configuration.
