How to Manually Set DHCP Options on the Thin Client
The Advanced Options dialog box (in the WCM Client, click Advanced Options) allows
you to manually set DHCP options (Server, Path, Username, Password, and Protocol) on
the thin client (be sure to click Save Settings after making your configurations):
Tip
These options can also be set using the server (see "How to Set Up
Automatic Configuration Updates" and "Reference Information: DHCP
Options You Can Use") or using the Agent Settings dialog box (see "How to
Use the WCM Application GUI"). See also "Troubleshooting Devices that
Cannot Locate Configuration Files."
Use the following guidelines:
• Server - The default DHCP option is 195. This is the server IP Address or the fully
qualified domain name (FQDN) of the server.
• Path - The default DHCP option is 196. This is the root path to the server; ftp, http, or
https. NOTES:
• If no root path is defined, \Wyse\WES7 is the default path.
• If a root path is defined, \Wyse\WES7 will be appended to it. For example:
MyCompany\Wyse\WES7.
• Username - (Optional) The default DHCP option is 184. This is the server username of
the server specified in DHCP option 195.
• Password - (Optional) The default DHCP option is 185. This is the server password of
the server specified in DHCP option 195 (if the server allows Anonymous login, you
can leave this option blank).
• Protocol - The default DHCP option is 183. This is the protocol (ftp/http/https) used for
downloading the configuration file (and any custom items in the folder) from the server
specified in DHCP option 195 (the default protocol is FTP).
