Reference Guide

at the left margin and placing at least one leading space or tab at the beginning of all (and only) continuation lines makes an INI file
easier to read.
NOTE:
When you require string concatenation, you can use a backslash without a space before or after it to concatenate
with the first set of characters from the previous line; for example the strings snow and ball may be concatenated to
give snowball.
3. Blank Lines Make Files Easy to Read
Using blank lines is recommended for making code easier to read.
4. Comment by using a # Sign
Number signs (#) indicate the start of a comment. Comments can begin anywhere on a line. Everything between the # and the End of
Line is ignored.
5. Values with White Spaces Require Quotation Marks
Values of parameters containing white spaces must be placed inside quotation marks. We recommend you use common-practice
nesting rules.
6. Separate Lists by using Semicolons or Commas
Use semicolons or commas for list separators.
7. {username}.ini Files must be Write-Enabled
All {username}.ini files must be write-enabled to allow the thin client to place the encrypted user passwords in the files.
8. Use the wnos.ini File to Set the Maximum Number of Connection Entries Allowed
The combined number of connection entries defined in a {username}.ini file and a wnos.ini cannot exceed a defined total maximum
number of connections. The maximum number of connections has a default limit of 216, but can be set from 100 to 1000 using the
wnos.ini file.
9. Use of the {username}.ini and {mac}.ini Parameters
The {username}.ini and {mac}.ini parameters can appear in the wnos.ini file. However, these parameters must be below the include=
$un.ini parameter or the include=<$mac.ini or {username}> parameter in the wnos.ini file. Although not required, We recommend that
these parameters end with the parameter Exit=all.
NOTE:
No parameter should ever be executed twice. Some ThinOS hardware configuration parameters require a reboot to
become active, and if the same parameters are defined more than once, the thin client may then go into an infinite
reboot cycle.
NOTE:
We recommend you place the include=<$mac.ini or {username}> statement on the last line of the wnos.ini file to
verify that all parameters are processed properly for terminal-specific settings.
10. Use of System Variables with Some Options of the Connect Parameter
Some options of the Connect parameter can use the system variables shown in System Variables to map the string. All combinations
of the variables are supported. For options that support use of system variables, see Connect Parameters Options.
System variables
The following table contains the system variables that you can use with some options of the connect parameter:
Table 1. System variables
Option Value
$SN Serial number used.
$MAC MAC address with lowercase letters is used.
$UMAC MAC address with uppercase letters is used.
$IP IP Address used.
$IPOCT4 The fourth octet of IP Address, for example, if IP is 10.151.120.15,
and then the fourth octet is 15.
