Connecting to a Remote Server

TIP: On your initial connection to central configuration it is recommended that you
connect using a "wired connection" (plug in the network-connected ethernet cable to
your thin client before starting the thin client) to obtain the configurations desired by
the administrator. This "wired connection" will also provide any wireless configurations
provided by the administrator through the INI files.
If you must initially connect to central configuration through wireless, use the Wireless
tab in the Network Setup dialog box to enter the SSID and encryption configurations
required/set up by the network administrator (see "Network Setup").
Central Configuration - If you are set up for automatic detection (using INI files - see
Reference Guide: Wyse ThinOS
and connect to the configured remote services during the boot-up process. Simply
press the power button to turn on your thin client to see the Login dialog box. Enter
your User name, Password, and Domain, and then click Login. After authentication is
successful, your available connections are presented for use.
TIP: Although the thin client will default to the Classic Desktop for INI backward
compatibility, you can configure the thin client to display the Zero Desktop by using the
SysMode=VDI parameter in the INI files or by selecting the desktop option in a dialog
box (see "Using Your Desktop").
Manual Connection - If you are not yet set up for central configuration, you will see
the Zero Toolbar, where you can configure the initial server connection you want using
the Remote Connections dialog box before you can log in. See "Manual Connection
Procedures."
You only need to complete this manual configuration once (or after reboot to factory
defaults). After the thin client "knows" the location of your server, it automatically
connects to the server for login when you start the thin client in the future. After you
confirm your environment is ready for deployment, you can create INI files for central
configuration.
