Dell Wyse ThinOS Release 8.3.1 Administrator’s Guide

RDS desktop through PCoIP is supported in this release.

USB redirection RDS desktop through PCoIP is not supported.

VMware Horizon View broker

The VMware Horizon View broker icon is updated.

The following are the screenshots of PCoIP enabled on Wyse 3030 LT thin client with PCoIP, Wyse 5010 thin client with PCoIP (D10DP), Wyse 5040 AIO thin client with PCoIP (5213), and Wyse 5060 thin client with PCoIP.

VMware Horizon View Broker timeout— The VMware Horizon View Broker timeout does not force the user to sign out from the broker anymore when the secure tunnel is enabled.

In earlier version of ThinOS, when the broker times out, the user session is disconnected and the user is logged out from the broker. From ThinOS 8.2 release, ThinOS disconnects the user session from the broker, but does not force user logout. This is because the user has local connections other than the broker desktop, and these connections are active when the broker timeout is reached.

The Disclaimer window— The Disclaimer window is provided in this release.

In the Disclaimer window, if you click Accept, you are directed to the user login window. If you click Cancel, the user login window displays the message broker initialization failed.

Changes applicable to Wyse 3030 LT thin client with PCoIP, Wyse 5010 thin client with PCoIP (D10DP), Wyse 5040 AIO thin client with PCoIP (5213), and Wyse 5060 thin client with PCoIP.

• PCoIP session NUM/CAP keyboard status synchronizes with session instead of thin client

  This is applicable for session startup only. The PCoIP session keyboard NUM/ CAP status synchronizes from remote session to client, whereas RDP/ ICA synchronize status from local to remote session.

  For example,

  1. Set keyboard NUM=off in current PCoIP session.

  2. Disconnect the session.

  3. Set client keyboard NUM=on.

  4. Reconnect to the PCoIP session.
  5. The keyboard NUM status in both session and client is updated to NUM=off.

• RDS desktop through PCoIP

  You can view and connect to the Remote Desktop Service (RDS) desktop through the PCoIP protocol in the broker. In VMware Horizon View 6.0 and later versions, the RDS desktop has RDP and PCoIP connections based on server configurations.

  In Wyse 5010 thin client with PCoIP (D10DP) and Wyse 5040 AIO thin client with PCoIP (5213) running ThinOS 8.0, you can only view the RDP connection for the RDS desktop. In ThinOS 8.2, the PCoIP connection is available for both Wyse 5010 thin client with PCoIP (D10DP) and Wyse 5040 AIO thin client with PCoIP (5213) running ThinOS 8.2 and in ThinOS 8.3, the PCoIP connection is available for Wyse 3030 LT thin client with PCoIP. From 8.3.1, PCoIP connection is available for Wyse 5060 thin client with PCoIP.

  • NOTE:

    The RDS Application over PCoIP is not supported in this version.

  The RDS desktop protocol switch message dialog box is provided in this release. A typical user scenario is as follows:

  1. Connect to the RDS desktop through protocol. For example, RDP.

  2. Disconnect from the desktop.

  3. Connect to the same RDS desktop through another protocol. For example, PCoIP.

     The message dialog box is displayed, allowing you with an option to continue.

     The options available are:

     • Cancel— You can end the PCoIP connection, and connect to the desktop in RDP again.

     • Log Out and Reconnect— You can connect to the desktop through PCoIP, and the earlier session in RDP is logged out.

  

• USB redirection RDS desktop through PCoIP

  This feature is not supported in this version. The same limitation applies to the VMware Horizon View Linux client as well.
