Table 7. General Settings: wnos.ini files, {username} INI, and $MAC INI Files (continued)
Parameter Description
and available for Operating system. If no is specified, Operating
System cannot detect any devices attached to the rear USB port.
USB keyboard and mouse always work in the BIOS setup irrespective of this set
ting.
USBFrontPort—
If yes is specified, devices attached to the front USB port are enabled and avail
able for Operating ystem. If no is specified, Operating System cannot detect
any device attached to front USB port.
USB keyboard and mouse always work in the BIOS setup irrespective of this set
ting.
WakeOnLAN—This option allows the thin client to power up from the off
state when triggered by special LAN signal.Wakeup from the standby state is
unaffected by this setting and must be enabled in the operating system. This
feature only works when the thin client is connected to AC power supply.
● Disable—
Do not allow the system to power on by special LAN signals when it receives
a wake up signal from the LAN or wireless LAN.
● LAN—Allows the thin client to be powered on by special LAN signals.
● PXE—A wake
up packet sent to the system in either the S4 or S5 state causes the system
to wake up, and immediately boot to PXE.
●
WakeOnUSB—WakeOnUSB allows the computer to power up from the off
state when triggered by USB signal. Wakeup from the standby state is
unaffected by this setting and must be enabled in the operating system. This
feature only works when the computer is connected to AC.
● If yes is specified, wake on USB is enabled.

For extract action, CMOS content is saved to file $PF_cmos.$VER
$PF—name of Dell BIOS platform, including X10 and A10Q
$VER—version of BIOS, like 1.2.2.
With ThinOS log, CMOS, extract to $PF_cmos.$VER
For restore action, CMOS content is updated from file $PF_cmos.$VER
With a syslog, CMOS: restore from $PF_cmos.$VER
The file is strongly checked and protected from corruption.
The content is wrapped in a file header, including a field of magic number,
checksum, timestamp, length and platform name.
The content is first checksum and then AES encrypted during save operation.
During restore operation, if the CMOS timestamp (stored in nvram) matches
the timestamp on the file, the cmos content is not written every time to avoid
wearing out the cmos chip.
