This means that any configuration change you make will persist across reboots. You can change this to a stateless mode where the thin client settings and connections are dynamically "pulled" from the management server, or a snapshot mode where you define the desired configuration and prevent users from making any changes. These options are all configured in the Control Panel, under the System Settings, in a section called Local Storage. Persistence in DeTOS Thin Clients There are two strategies for achieving persistence on DeTOS-based thin clients. Strategy #1: Maintain Profiles via Remote Management Server DeTOS thin clients can be centrally managed using the Devon IT Echo Management Console Dell Edition. Using Echo, administrators can create several connections and settings and then group them together to form one single collection called a profile. This profile can then be pushed or assigned to one or more thin clients. With your profile properly configured, each time a terminal is booted up and discovered by Echo, all connections and system settings according to its assigned profile are immediately applied - or pushed out - to that terminal.

Persistence
Persistence, within the scope of thin client computing, refers to the continuing
existence of connections and settings after a terminal has been rebooted.
Default Behavior
By default, or after resetting your terminal to default factory setting, DeTOS is
set to persistent mode. This means that any configuration change you make will
persist across reboots. You can change this to a stateless mode where the thin
client settings and connections are dynamically “pulled” from
the management
server, or a snapshot mode where you define the desired configuration and
prevent users from making any changes.
These options are all configured in the
Control Panel
, under the
System Settings
, in a section called
Local Storage
.
Persistence in DeTOS Thin Clients
There are two strategies for achieving persistence on DeTOS-based thin clients.
Strategy #1: Maintain Profiles via Remote Management Server
DeTOS thin clients can be centrally managed using the Devon IT Echo
Management Console Dell Edition. Using Echo, administrators can create
several connections and settings and then group them together to form one
single collection called a profile. This profile can then be pushed or assigned to
one or more thin clients. With your profile properly configured, each time a
terminal is booted up and discovered by Echo, all connections and system
settings according to its assigned profile are immediately applied
or
pushed
out
to that terminal.
