Management Suite server details. If not specified, the Wyse Management Suite Group Registration Key is cleared and the
Wyse Management Suite server is changed to the default URL—https://us1.wysemanagementsuite.com—on the
client side.
● Citrix H.264-enhanced SuperCodec depends on Citrix binary to coordinate using software H.264 decoding or hardware
decoding. In ThinOS, there are no event logs to show SuperCodec status.
● Before using the Allow list under System setup > Admin policy tool > Advanced > Privacy&Security > Device
Security, you must do the following:
1. Select Allow from Device Security Type.
2. Click Add Row.
3. Add HID,Hub to the Class area.
4. Click the Save&Publish button. This function takes effect after you restart the client.
Without performing these steps, all USB devices including mouse and keyboard that you connect to the thin client remain
inaccessible.
● When using SCEP Administrator URL, you must use / at the end of the URL.
● Installing a Cisco_Jabber package could impact audio device settings on Unified communication package such as Cisco
Jabber, Zoom_Citrix, Cisco WebEx Meetings, or Cisco WebEx Teams in remote desktops. This impact is due to a Cisco
known issue from ThinOS 9.0. Dell Technologies recommends installing Cisco_Jabber package only for Cisco Jabber VDI
users.
● Citrix Universal Print Driver (UPD) supports only PostScript (PS) printing format due to Citrix known limitation from ThinOS
9.0. Dell Technologies recommends using PS capable printers.
● Do not enable video call for Citrix unified communication optimization features on the Wyse 3040 Thin Client. Video call
results in performance issues.
● Dell Technologies recommends that you configure the Wyse Management Suite settings before you check in the thin client
to the Wyse Management Suite server. The device receives all configurations from the Wyse Management Suite when it is
checked in to the Wyse Management Suite server.
● When the device is checked in to Wyse Management Suite, all configurations are pushed from the Wyse Management Suite
server to the client and the local settings are discarded.
● When the device is not checked in to Wyse Management Suite, the Admin Policy Tool settings are pushed to the client side.
● When you change any device settings on the ThinOS User Interface (UI), the modified settings are automatically synced to
Admin Policy Tool.
● You can configure both Wyse Management Suite and Admin Policy Tool to manage any device settings. After the device
reboot or recheck into Wyse Management Suite, the device settings from Wyse Management Suite take priority and override
the Admin Policy Tool settings.
● It is not recommended to set Vendor and Product ID and Class simultaneously. However, if you configure both options
simultaneously, the device first checks the Vendor and Product ID followed by the Class list.
● When you configure Bluetooth, Device Security, VNC Server, NetID License, or Serial Port using the Admin Policy Tool,
ensure that you restart the thin client for the settings to take effect.
● To redirect your iPhone device, ensure that the Exclude disk devices and Exclude audio devices check boxes in the
Global Connection Settings window are not selected.
● To connect your Android phone and use it on the thin client desktop session by mapping or redirecting, select the option to
transfer images on your smartphone. Do not select the option to transfer media files.
● Do not hotplug smart card too quickly.
● PCoIP session under Teradici Access Cloud broker does not support audio or video device redirection due to Teradici
limitation. For more information, see Teradici PCoIP Software Client 20.10 for Windows Administrators Guide at
docs.teradici.com.
● Exit Imprivata PIE mode—Hold Ctrl key on your keyboard and click the PIE shutdown icon for the Exit option to be
displayed.
● When the relative mouse feature is enabled, the mouse cursor is restricted in Blast/PCoIP session. The following key
combinations can release the mouse cursor to ThinOS local client:
○ PCoIP session—Press Ctrl + Alt + Down key combination to switch to ThinOS desktop.
○ Blast session—Press Ctrl + Alt key combination.
● Horizon Workspace One—If Workspace One web portal displays a blank white page, you must close the web portal window
and reconnect the VMware Horizon broker.
● To launch RDP session from Horizon broker, Enable Credential Security Service Provider must be enabled in the Wyse
Management Suite or Admin Policy Tool, due to a Windows Virtual Desktop limitation.
