Administrator Guide

When a thin client is initialized, it accesses the global wlx.ini le. For detailed information on constructing and using INI les, see Reference
Guide: Dell Wyse ThinLinux INI guide
NOTE:
If both PNLite and a user prole are being used, the username must be dened in the Windows domain that is used. Also the password
must be the same for the domain and the prole.
Setting Up the Automatic Congurations and Updates
For a Dell thin client running Dell Wyse Enhanced SLE ThinLinux to successfully access INI les and update itself from a server, you must
set up the server with the correct folder structure where the INI les and other update les are located, direct the thin client to the server,
and then reboot or start the thin client.
After DHCP and servers are congured and available, the thin client checks at each restart to see whether or not any updates are available
on a predened server. If updates are available, the updates are automatically installed.
NOTE: DCHP Option #161 species the server URL, DCHP Option #162 species the root path to the server.
This involves two tasks:
1 Preparing the Root Directory and Folder Structure on the Server
2 Directing the Thin Client to the Server
Preparing the Root Directory and Folder Structure on the
Server
To prepare the root directory and folder structure on the server:
1 Set up the following folder structure on your server under the C:/inetpub/ftproot folder for FTP or C:/inetpub/wwwroot folder for
HTTP or HTTPS and place your INI les and other necessary les inside the structure as noted.
2 This list describes the folder structure, starting with the root directory.
Table 23. Root directory
/wyse/ The root directory. It stores the wlx2 folder and the addons folder
It also stores the following les, which are used for imaging and
updating devices:
• thin-linux-<version>.raw
• thin-linux.info
/wyse/wlx2 The main INI conguration folder. It stores the following:
• wlx.ini le or MAC.ini le
• bitmap folder
• certs folder
• ini folder
/wyse/wlx2/bitmap The folder where you can place custom images you plan to use.
/wyse/wlx2/certs The folder where you can place the CA certicates that can be
imported to a thin client.
