Devon Zero™
Devon Zero™ is the new zero client configuration option for Dell Optiplex
FX130 and Optiplex FX170 terminals that enables them to effortlessly connect
to your server and begin operations right out of the box.
NOTE : Only terminals installed with DeTOS are capable of running in Devon
Zero™ mode.
Zero Configuration Environment Setup Process
The entire process of establishing a Devon Zero™ configuration environment is
carried out through DNS. Once an environment has been established, Devon
Zero™ machines can operate without the need of a management server. To set
up the Devon Zero™ environment you will need to obtain the squashfs image,
which can be found by visiting support.dell.com .
It is necessary to create a share to host the squashfs image in order to utilize it
with terminals running in zero configuration mode. In order to create this share:
1. Create a folder in your DNS server to host the squashfs image.
2. Right click on the folder and go to the Properties menu.
3. In the Sharing tab, click on the Share… button.
4. In the File Sharing menu, select Everyone from the dropdown menu
and click Add .
5. In the Permission Level column, make sure to set the newly created
entry as Read . Then, click on Share to accept this change and close
the menu.
