    Introduction VTOS has been optimized to deliver maximum Thin Client performance on the SC-T25, SC-T36 & VS RePC Devices by using Assembly Language routines and making full use of the integrated H.264 Hardware decoder. VTOS management VTOS is managed with the ViewSonic Device Manager 3.0 (VDM3.0) which may be used for a variety of tasks, ranging from something as simple as rebooting a VTOS Device, to upgrading the Device with the latest VTOS software.

  • Page 30 How do I upload a private CA certificate to VTOS Devices to allow them to connect to Storefront Servers? You must use the ViewSonic Device Management 3.0 Software (VDM3.0) to install the SSL Certificate. You can install the Certificate to hundreds of VTOS Devices simultaneously if you wish to.
  • Page 31 How can I start an xterm? Exit fullscreen or defocus your fullscreen application and then use control-alt-t. And anticipating your next question, no, there is no way to su to root in this window. Local audio is too loud/quiet, so I can’t make audio quiet/ loud enough using remote or web page volume controls.
  • Page 32 “date” in the window that appears. This can happen because the SC-T25 has no battery-backed clock, so unless it can contact a network time server from which to get the current date and time, it will revert to a nonsensical value such as the year 2000 or 2027 whenever its power is reset.
  • Page 33 How do I get out of fullscreen mode? It depends on what mode you’re in: • HDX: shift-f2. Allegedly. • Spice: shift-f11 (and then shift-f12 to ungrab the keyboard and pointer). • VNC: control-alt-shift-f, or use f8 to bring up the configuration menu and click on Full Screen to toggle it off.
