Using Wyse Device Manager Software For Remote Administration
Wyse Device Manager (formerly known as Rapport) software is a full-featured remote
administration tool set available from Wyse Technology. The software accesses your thin
client through the factory-installed Wyse Device Agent and Preboot Execution
Environment (PXE) client utilities. PXE upgrade services and a Virtual Network Computing
(VNC) Viewer are built into Wyse Device Manager software. Wyse Device Manager
software allows the thin client administration functions (including firmware upgrades) to be
performed without requiring an administrator to visit the individual thin client sites. For
information on installing Wyse Device Manager software and configuring the server
environment, refer to the Wyse Device Manager software documentation.
Note
Ordering information for Wyse Device Manager software is available on the
Wyse Web site at: http://www.wyse.com/products/software/rapport/
.
Wyse Device Manager software can be used to do the following operations:
Remote Reboot - Wyse thin clients can be rebooted remotely using the Wyse Device
Manager administration software.
Wake-On-LAN - Your power-connected thin client can also be turned on by the
Wake-On-LAN feature. Using this feature within a single Ethernet subnet, an
administrator can turn on the thin client connection by using a LAN message that the
thin client recognizes.
Understanding User Accounts and User Profile Ini Files
User profile .ini files are created and maintained by you the network administrator and are
stored on the file server. There will be one wnos.ini file available to all users globally and
there will be a unique {username}.ini file for each user under the subdirectory ini of wnos.
The thin client accesses the Global wnos.ini file upon device initialization and accesses
any applicable unique {username}.ini file when the user signs on. These files must be
created and maintained using an ordinary ASCII text editor. Icons and logos specified in
the configuration .ini files must be placed in the file server /wnos/bitmap subdirectory as
described in "About Icons and Logos."
About Icons and Logos
Icons and logos specified in the configuration .ini files must be placed in the file server /
wnos/bitmap subdirectory. Icons are specified in the icon clause of the connect
statement and logos are specified in the FormURL statement. Supported image file types
include .ico (icon), .bmp (bitmap), .jpg (JPEG), and .gif(GIF). Color depth for logos can be
up to 256 colors. Color depth for icons can be 16 colors. It is recommended that .jpg
format not be used for desktop icons.
Use the following guidelines:
Typical desktop icons are 64 x 48 Pixels
Typical sign-on logos are 100 x 61 Pixels, with transparent background
Maximum-Size for sign-on logos are 352 x 80 Pixels (if smaller than this, it will be
positioned at the top-left corner).
