Table 6. Registering device by using DHCP option tags (continued)
Option Tag Description
Description—Group Token available, then the devices are automatically registered to the unmanaged
group during on-premise installation.
NOTE: For detailed instructions on how to add DHCP option tags on the Windows server, see How do I create and
configure DHCP option tags.
Registering devices by using DNS SRV record
DNS-based device registration is supported with the following versions of Wyse Device Agent:
● Windows Embedded Systems—13.0 or later versions
● Thin Linux—2.0.24 or later versions
● ThinOS—8.4 firmware or later versions
You can register devices with the Wyse Management Suite server if DNS SRV record fields are set with valid values.
NOTE: For detailed instructions on how to add DNS SRV records on the Windows server, see How do I create and
configure DNS SRV record.
The following table lists the valid values for the DNS SRV records:
Table 7. Configuring device by using DNS SRV record
URL/Tag Description
Record Name—_WMS_MGMT
Record FQDN—_WMS_MGMT._tcp.<Domainname>
Record Type— SRV
This record points to the Wyse Management Suite server
URL. For example, wmsserver.acme.com, where
wmsserver.acme.com is fully qualified domain name of the
server where Wyse Management Suite is installed.
NOTE: Do not use https://FQDN or FQDN:443 in the
server URL, or the thin client will not register to Wyse
Management Suite.
Record Name—_WMS_MQTT
Record FQDN—_WMS_MQTT._tcp.<Domainname>
Record Type—SRV
This record directs the device to the Wyse Management Suite
Push Notification server (PNS). For a private cloud
installation, the device gets directed to the MQTT service on
the Wyse Management Suite server. For example,
wmsservername.domain.com:1883.
NOTE: MQTT is optional for the latest version of Wyse
Management Suite.
To register your devices in Wyse Management Suite public
cloud, the device should point to the PNS (MQTT) servers in
public cloud. For example,
US1—us1-pns.wysemanagementsuite.com
EU1—eu1-pns.wysemanagementsuite.com
You must enter the MQTT server details when you configure
Wyse Device Agent details in the older version of ThinOS and
Windows Embedded devices. MQTT is a component of WMS
which is required to notify the thin clients. The URLs—with
and without MQTT details—must be added to the allowlist in
the Wyse Management Suite public cloud environment.
NOTE: You cannot use the MQTT URLs to log in to Wyse
Management Suite.
