Accessing Thin Client BIOS Settings
While starting a Wyse client you will see a Wyse logo for a short period of time. During this
start-up you can press the Del key (F2 key on mobile thin clients) to enter the BIOS of the
thin client to make your modifications (when prompted, enter Fireport as the password).
Imaging Devices with the Wyse USB Firmware Tool
The Wyse
®
USB Firmware Tool
TM
provides a simple USB imaging solution to help IT and
Customer Service staff quickly and easily image supported devices.
Using the tool’s flexible windows utility, users can easily:
• Configure a USB key to copy/pull firmware from a source device (to later push to other
target devices).
• Configure a USB key to update/push firmware (that you include on the USB key) to
target devices (to upgrade firmware).
• Create replicate/duplicate USB keys (containing the original contents) for simultaneous
usage on target devices (by users in several locations at the same time).
Using Wyse Device Manager Software for Remote Administration
Wyse Device Manager
TM
(WDM) servers provide network management services to the
thin client (complete user-desktop control—with features such as remote shadow, reboot,
shutdown, boot, rename, automatic device check-in support, Wake-On-LAN, change
device properties, and so on). With WDM you can manage all of your network devices
from one simple-to-use console.
For information on setting WDM properties, see "Configuring WDM Properties."
For local custom fields that can be accessed by WDM, see "Setting Configuration Strings
with Custom Fields."
Configuring and Using Peripherals
Depending on the ports available on the thin client, the thin client can provide services
through a USB port, a serial port, an LPT port, or a PCMCIA card plugged into the back of
the thin client (if the appropriate software is installed).
TIP: Addons for various services can be installed (Addons are available from Wyse for
free or for a licensing fee). For information on Addons available, see the Wyse Web site at:

.
Wyse thin clients can be configured to use Bluetooth-enabled peripherals. See
"Configuring Bluetooth Wireless Connections."
