Firmware upgrade using Wyse Management Suite

Page 89 highlights

Installing IIS creates the default directory C:\inetpub\WWWroot, which is known as the WWW root. In the WWWroot directory, create a folder WYSE and a sub folder wnos. The directory structure must read as C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WYSE\wnos. To upgrade the ThinOS firmware using HTTP or HTTPS server: 1 Ensure that you have downloaded the latest ThinOS firmware and latest ThinOS packages that corresponds to your thin client model. If the firmware and packages are in the form of a compressed self-extracting (.EXE) or zipped file (.ZIP), then extract the files. 2 Place the extracted firmware files in the C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WYSE\wnos folder, and the packages to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WYSE \wnos\pkg on your HTTP or HTTPS server. 3 Create a wnos.ini text file (using a text editor) in the C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WYSE\wnos folder with the following INI parameters: Autoload=2 loadpkg=1 Addpkg=TCX,FR,horizon The option Autoload=2, ensures that the thin client uses the firmware installed on the server to upgrade, only if the firmware on the thin client is older than the version on the server. The option LoadPkg specifies how to update the external packages. If LoadPkg is not in the statement, it will inherit the value of AutoLoad. Base package and the PCoIP package are integrated into the ThinOS firmware image. Installing the latest ThinOS firmware image automatically installs the latest version of these packages on the ThinOS client. If you set AutoLoad=1 LoadPkg=0, the firmware is checked, but the packages are not checked. The packages check is performed after firmware check. From ThinOS 8.3, the external packages update mechanism is changed. Some packages are default, and loaded according to value of LoadPkg. For example RTME. Some packages need additional parameter AddPkg to add. For example, FR, Horizon, and TCX. The option AddPkg is for adding packages. It depends on the value of LoadPkg. For more information about the INI parameter usage, see Dell Wyse ThinOS INI Reference Guide. 4 Save the wnos.ini file. 5 On the ThinOS client desktop, navigate to System Setup > Central Configuration > General. 6 In the General tab, enter the IP address of the file server or directory. For example: https://IPaddress/wyse. NOTE: You can also use DHCP option tags 161 and 162 to configure the ThinOS client, file server and path information. You must create these options on your DHCP server, configure them with the correct server information, and enable the DHCP server scope in your environment. 7 Click OK. 8 Restart the thin client and wait until the auto-installation of packages is complete. Firmware upgrade using Wyse Management Suite Ensure that you have created a custom group and assigned the ThinOS devices to that group in Wyse Management Suite. For more information, see the latest Dell Wyse Management Suite Administrator's Guide. Ensure that your ThinOS clients are registered to Wyse Management Suite.

Installing IIS creates the default directory
C:\inetpub\WWWroot
, which is known as the WWW root. In the
WWWroot
directory, create a
folder
WYSE
and a sub folder
wnos
. The directory structure must read as
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WYSE\wnos
.
To upgrade the ThinOS
firmware
using HTTP or HTTPS server:
1
Ensure that you have downloaded the latest ThinOS
firmware
and latest ThinOS packages that corresponds to your thin client model.
If the
firmware
and packages are in the form of a compressed self-extracting (.EXE) or zipped
file
(.ZIP), then extract the
files.
2
Place the extracted
firmware
files
in the
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WYSE\wnos
folder, and the packages to
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WYSE
\wnos\pkg
on your HTTP or HTTPS server.
3
Create a wnos.ini text
file
(using a text editor) in the
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WYSE\wnos
folder with the following INI parameters:
Autoload=2 loadpkg=1 Addpkg=TCX,FR,horizon
The option
Autoload=2
, ensures that the thin client uses the
firmware
installed on the server to upgrade, only if the
firmware
on the
thin client is older than the version on the server. The option
LoadPkg
specifies
how to update the external packages. If
LoadPkg
is
not in the statement, it will inherit the value of
AutoLoad
.
Base package and the PCoIP package are integrated into the ThinOS
firmware
image. Installing the latest ThinOS
firmware
image
automatically installs the latest version of these packages on the ThinOS client. If you set
AutoLoad=1 LoadPkg=0
, the
firmware
is
checked, but the packages are not checked. The packages check is performed after
firmware
check. From ThinOS 8.3, the external
packages update mechanism is changed. Some packages are default, and loaded according to value of
LoadPkg
. For example RTME.
Some packages need additional parameter
AddPkg
to add. For example, FR, Horizon, and TCX. The option
AddPkg
is for adding
packages. It depends on the value of
LoadPkg
. For more information about the INI parameter usage, see Dell Wyse ThinOS INI
Reference Guide.
4
Save the wnos.ini
file.
5
On the ThinOS client desktop, navigate to
System Setup
>
Central
Configuration
>
General
.
6
In the
General
tab, enter the IP address of the
file
server or directory. For example:
https://IPaddress/wyse
.
NOTE:
You can also use DHCP option tags 161 and 162 to
configure
the ThinOS client,
file
server and path information.
You must create these options on your DHCP server,
configure
them with the correct server information, and enable the
DHCP server scope in your environment.
7
Click
OK
.
8
Restart the thin client and wait until the auto-installation of packages is complete.
