Wyse 3040 thin client on ThinOS
This section provides the instructions on how to easily congure and eciently manage Wyse 3040 thin client that runs on ThinOS.
Logging on to the Wyse 3040 thin client running Wyse ThinOS
What you see after logging on to the server depends on the administrator congurations.
•Users with a Classic Desktop - will see the classic ThinOS desktop with full taskbar, desktop, and Connect Manager familiar to
ThinOS users. This option is the default out-of-the-box experience and is recommended for terminal server environments with
published applications and for backward compatibility with ThinOS 6.x versions.
•Users with a Zero Desktop - will see the Zero Desktop with the Zero Toolbar showing the assigned list of connections from
which to select. This option is recommended for VDI and any full-screen only connections.
In any desktop case, you can select the desktop option you want (Classic Desktop or Zero Desktop) and create the connections you
need using the Visual Experience tab on the Remote Connections dialog box.
To open the Remote Connections dialog box, perform one of the following tasks:
•Classic Desktop — Click User Name , and then select System Setup → Remote Connections.
NOTE: User Name is the user who is logged-on and is located at the lower-left pane of the taskbar
•Zero Desktop — Click the System Settings icon on the Zero Toolbar, and then select Remote Connections.

b. Main Screen—Select which of the two monitors you want to be the main screen (Screen1 or Screen2). The other screen
is extended from the main screen.
c. Layout—Select how you want the two monitors to be oriented to each other.
Horizontal — where you move between the monitors from the left and right of the screens.
Vertical— where you move between the monitors from the top and bottom of the screens.
d. Alignment— Select how you want the monitors to be aligned Bottom, Center, or Top.
Bottom means screens are bottom-aligned in a horizontal orientation; Center means screens are center-aligned; Top means
screens are top-aligned in a horizontal orientation.
e. Taskbar (Classic Desktop Only)—Select under which screen you want the taskbar to appear Whole Screen or Main
Screen
Gamma Supported Monitors Only— Use the Gamma Setup tab to adjust the saturation values for Red, Green and Blue on
VGA connected monitors supporting gamma settings, if you feel the default settings are too light. Be aware that the Gamma
Setup tab will be disabled once you click Save+Exit. You can enable it again by setting rgamma={1-100} ggamma={1-100}
bgamma={1-100} in the Resolution INI parameter. For more information, see Dell Wyse ThinOS INI Guide.

For Swap dual screens, when you set Main Screen to Screen2, an additional check box is displayed at the bottom of the tab
that allows you to swap dual screens. If you clear the check box, the Screen1 is usually the left one or the top one in dual
display. When you set Main Screen to Screen2, the main screen is changed to the right screen or bottom screen. If you
select the Swap dual screens check box, you are able to set Main Screen to Screen2, but still have it at the left side or the
top side, which is considered more user friendly.
Conguring the network settings on Wyse ThinOS
To congure the network settings use the following options:
•Conguring the general settings.
•Conguring the DHCP options settings.
•Conguring the ENET settings.
•Conguring the WLAN settings.
7

Conguring the General settings
To congure the general network settings:
1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Network Setup.
The Network Setup dialog box is displayed.
2. Click the General tab, and use the following guidelines:
a. To set the default gateway, select the type of network interface from the available options.
1. Single Network support — Either wireless or wired network is connected.
•ENET — Click this option, if you want set up the Ethernet Wired Network Connection.
•WLAN — Click this option, if you want to set up the Wireless Network Connection.
• If you use wireless network after selecting ENET connection or wired network after selecting WLAN connection,
then the system log "WLAN: set default gate way xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" for rst case and "ENET: set default gate way
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" for second case are printed to ensure that the UI setting reects the actual usage.
NOTE: The User Interface (UI) will not be changed automatically.
2. Dual Network support — Both wireless and wired networks are connected. The default gateway is determined by the
UI settings.
b. Enter the URL address of the DNS domain in the DNS Domain box.
8

c. Enter the IP address of the DNS server in the DNS Server box.
Use of DNS is optional. DNS allows you to specify remote systems by their host names rather than IP addresses. If a
specic IP address (instead of a name) is entered for a connection, it is used to make the connection. Enter the DNS
domain and the network address of an available DNS server. The function of the DNS domain entry is to provide a default
sux to be used in name resolution. The values for these two boxes may be supplied by a DHCP server. If the DHCP server
supplies these values, they replace any locally congured values. If the DHCP server does not supply these values, the
locally congured values will be used.
NOTE: You can enter up to 16 DNS server addresses, separated by a semicolon, comma, or space. The rst
address is for the primary DNS server and the rest are secondary DNS servers or backup DNS servers .
d. Enter the IP address of the WINS server in the WINS Server box.
Use of WINS is optional. Enter the network address of an available WINS name server. WINS allows you to specify remote
systems by their host names rather than IP addresses. If a specic IP address (instead of a name) is entered for a
connection, it is used to make the connection. These entries can be supplied through DHCP, if DHCP is used. DNS and
WINS provide essentially the same function, name resolution. If both DNS and WINS are available, the thin client attempts
to resolve the name using DNS rst and then WINS.
You can enter two WINS server addresses (primary and secondary), separated by a semicolon, comma, or space.
e. Enter the digit multiplier of 30 seconds in the TCP Timeout box to set the time-out value of a TCP connection. The value
must be 1 or 2 which means the connection time-out value is from 1x30= 30 seconds to 2x30= 60 seconds. If the data for
connecting to the server is not acknowledged and the connection is timed out, setting the time-out period retransmits the
sent data and again tries to connect to the server till the connection is established.
3. Click OK to save the settings.
Conguring the DHCP Options Settings
To congure the options settings:
1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Network Setup.
The Network Setup dialog box is displayed.
2. Click the Options tab, and use the following guidelines:
9

a. DHCP Option IDs — Enter the supported DHCP options. Each value can only be used once and must be between 128 and
254.
b. Interpret DHCP Vendor-Specic Info — Select this check box for automatic interpretation of the vendor information.
c. DHCP Vendor ID — Shows the DHCP Vendor ID when the dynamically allocated over DHCP/BOOTP option is selected.
d. DHCP UserClass ID — Shows the DHCP UserClass ID when the dynamically allocated over DHCP/BOOTP option is
selected.
3. Click OK to save the settings.
