Description
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.
For usage of this feature, there should be a special INI user name like "cmos". The
associated ini/cmos.ini should include one line as "Device=DellCmos Action=extract"
(Please note: "Device=DellCmos Action=extract" is not suggested to be written in
global INI file, like wnos.ini, and it will take no effect if it has been written in global INI
file). And "CurrentPassword" is must be required if device's BIOS password is existed
regardless extract or restore action. E.g: Device=DellCmos CurrentPassword= xxxxx
Action=restore.
Continued from the previous table...
After the administrator configured the CMOS on a template unit, the administrator
should sign on to the cmos account on ThinOS to get the CMOS content saved to the
cmos file on writable File Server wnos directory.
Then, the wnos.ini should be configured with Device=DellCmos action=restore, so all
target units will get updated with the same CMOS setting as template unit after
reboot.
Once the restore action is finished, both the Device=DellCmos Action=extract and
Device=DellCmos action=restore must be removed from the related INI files.
The usage of other settings is self-explanatory. The only condition to use the setting is
the BIOS GUI has such settings.
OSDConfigure—This option enables the thin client to enable or disable the OSD
function.This INI parameter is only applicable to 5470 All-in-one thin client.
MACPASSConfigure—This option allows the computer to enable or disable the
Integrated MAC PASS Through function. This INI parameter is only applicable to Wyse
5470 thin client.
USBSidePortTop— If yes is specified, the device attached to the top USB port on
the left-side of the thin client is enabled and available for the operating system. If no is
specified, the operating system cannot detect any device attached to this port. This
INI parameter is only applicable to Wyse 5470 All-in-One thin client.
USBSidePortBottom—If yes is specified, the device attached to the bottom USB
port on the left-side of the thin client is enabled and available for the operating
system. If no is specified, the operating system cannot detect any device attached to
this port. This INI parameter is only applicable to Wyse 5470 All-in-One thin client.
USBRearPortTopLeft—If yes is specified, the devices attached to the top-left USB
port on the back of the thin client is enabled and available for the operating system. If
no is specified, the operating system cannot detect any device attached this port. This
INI parameter is only applicable to Wyse 5470 All-in-One thin client.
USBRearPortTopRight—If yes is specified, the devices attached to the top-right
USB port on the back of the thin client is enabled and available for the operating
system. If no is specified, the operating system cannot detect any device attached to
this port. This INI parameter is only applicable to Wyse 5470 All-in-One thin client.
USBRearPortBottomLeft—If yes is specified, the devices attached to the bottom-
left USB port is enabled and available for the operating system. If no is specified, the
