• Use the Network capture to USB option to enable the capture of network information, that is, a network trace of all traffic coming in and out of the thin client to a USB drive that is inserted into the thin client. After login and use of the XenDesktop server or network, you will see a ThinOS_WS.pcap file in the USB drive which you can analyze using software such as a packet analyzer used for network troubleshooting, and analysis.
NOTE: Ping sends an echo request to a network host. The host parameter is either a valid host name or an IP address. If the host is operational and on the network, it responds to the echo request. Ping sends one echo request per second and calculates round trip times and packet loss statistics. It displays a brief summary upon completion of the calculation. The ping utility can be used to: • Determine the status of the network and various foreign hosts. • Track and isolate hardware and software problems.
The tracert utility traces the path from your thin client to a network host. The host parameter is either a valid host name or an IP address. The tracert utility sends out a packet of information three times to each device (routers and computers) in the path and displays the round trip response times and identifying information in the message box. 7 136 Click OK to save the settings.
A Central Configuration: Automating Updates and Configurations This appendix describes how to set up your environment to provide your thin clients running ThinOS with automatic updates and configurations in three simple steps. NOTE: Dell Wyse thin clients do not require device management software. They are configured to obtain their IP address, as well as the location of firmware and configuration instructions, from a DHCP server. However, you can use WDM for a more hands-on management of your thin clients.
53 DHCP Message Type Recommended. 54 DHCP Server IP Address Recommended. 55 Parameter Request List Sent by thin client. 57 Maximum DHCP Optional (always sent by thin client). Message Size 58 T1 (renew) Time Optional, but recommended. 59 T2 (rebind) Time Optional, but recommended. 61 Client identifier Always sent. 161 File server (ftp/http/https) Optional string. Can be either the name or the IP address of the file server.
credentials of the user and to obtain a list of ICA published applications valid for the validated credentials. The user supplies those credentials when logging in to the thin client. 182 NT domain list for PNAgent/ PNLite Optional string. The thin client creates a pull-down list of domains from the information supplied in option 182. This list is presented at thin client login in the order specified in the DHCP option (for example, the first domain specified becomes the default).
NOTE: The value of this option tag represents the same information as option tag 187. The difference is that ThinOS interprets the value of this option tag in correct order (for example, the value of 0x0050 is interpreted as0x0050). If the DHCP server provides both option tag 192 and 187, option tag 192 takes precedence. 194 WDM FQDN Optional Fully Qualified Domain Name for the WDM. 199 Cloud Client Manager Group Key Optional string.

Use these general guidelines in addition to the information provided in Configuring the Printer Setup. IMPORTANT: Host-based printers are not supported.
Using the Printer Setup Dialog Box for Local USB or Parallel Printers In this example you have an HP LaserJet 4000 attached to a thin client USB port. When connecting USB printers, some printers fill out the Printer Name and Printer Identification fields for you. To Configure the Printer to print locally attached printers through USB or Parallel ports. 1 From the desktop menu, click System Setup > Printer. The Printer Setup dialog box is displayed.
Using the Printer Setup Dialog Box for Non-Windows Network Printers (LPD) To configure the Printer Setup dialog box for Non-Windows Network Printers (LPD). 1 From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Printer. The Printer Setup dialog box is displayed. In this example we have an HP LaserJet 4200n attached to a thin client through LPR. 2 Click the LPDs tab and use the following guidelines when printing to a non-Windows network printer: a Select LPD — Select LPD1 or LPD2 port.
Since connecting to a Microsoft Windows Print Server requires domain credentials, you must provide the credentials to ThinOS either on demand as the printer is used or by administrator setup providing credentials cached from the Dell Wyse login screen, see Example 3: Defining an SMB Printer to Use User Credentials Cached by ThinOS (Advanced) in Using INI Parameters for Windows Network Printers (SMB). This section will discuss both methods.

D Security Changes A new global security policy has been defined for ThinOS and this policy is applied to all secure connections (https/SSL connections) with a few exceptions. Purpose: To improve the security level by default and add the global configuration. This security policy integrates security setting for each application.
• CCM, Microsoft RDS broker, Citrix broker, and SecureMatrix are always Full. File Server default protocol is retained as FTP without any setting from WDM/DHCP/INI and always displays the full address with protocol prefix. For example, ftp://. New firmware/client deploy information • Dell recommends you to define the SecurityPolicy before upgrading to version 8.3 and later. If not, you may get warning messages that require intervention to proceed. • Before upgrading to version 8.
For warning security mode, the following warning messages are displayed: The server address does not convert to http, if WDM server is set as https. • In the previous scenario, If WDM server is configured without HTTPS, and local WDM server address is specified in HTTPS, then the system converts it to HTTP address. • In the current scenario, the system does not convert the WDM server address to HTTP.
Manual discovery is removed from WDM. In the WDA tab, the Manual discovery method option is removed (Highlighted in red color in the following screenshot).
E Transport Layer Security (TLS) Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a protocol that provides communication security between the client and server applications. Upgrade to Transport Layer Security (TLS)— In the ThinOS 8.2 release, the TLS is upgraded from version 1.0 to version 1.2. By default, the ThinOS client uses TLS 1.2 to secure any communication protocols, connections, or applications upon SSL/ TLS in general and falls back to the previous SSL/ TLS version when negotiating with the server.
