Desktop file server or add to the PNAgent/PNLite servers list. To access the Network

Setup dialog box in such a case, disconnect the network cable and reboot the thin client to

Stand-alone user mode. The Network Setup dialog box displays after the thin client

initializes and you can then make the required entries (be sure to reconnect the network

cable and reboot when finished).

Caution

If a thin client accesses the enterprise intranet through Dial-up, PPPoE, or

PPTP VPN and the thin client is locked-down, a non-privileged or

low-privileged user attempting to reboot to Stand-alone User mode will

disable the Network Setup dialog box and System Reset capabilities. The

user will not be able to re-access the enterprise intranet through this path. If

this happens, the thin client must be moved to a location where it can access

the enterprise intranet directly (Ethernet cable) and reboot so that you as an

administrator can make any required changes to the thin client operating

configurations (for example, set the profile to unlock the thin client) through

the User profiles.

If the thin client is configured for Dial-up access, there must be an RAS

server answering the configured telephone number. Otherwise, the thin client

will require factory attention to recover it.

Rebooting Thin Clients Remotely

Wyse Device Manager (formerly known as Rapport) software can be used to remotely

reboot thin clients. For information on Wyse Device Manager software, refer to "Using

Wyse Device Manager Software For Remote Administration."

Understanding System Lockdown Operations

Lockdown status for a thin client is set or removed using the lockdown clause of the

privilege statement. Lockdown establishes the default privilege level following thin client

boot and before any privilege statement is read from an ini file. Access to many facilities is

affected by the privilege level.

Non-Lockdown Operation

For normal operation, Low-privileged and Non-privileged users may access the Network

Setup dialog box by temporarily disconnecting the Ethernet cable from the thin client and

rebooting to Stand-alone user mode. The Network Setup dialog box can also be accessed

by a G-key reset to factory default in addition to the system reset check box (available to

any user with sufficient privilege to the Sign-off/shutdown dialog box).

Lockdown Operation

In most cases, access to the resources available when the system is not locked down is

desirable; however, network environments requiring maximum security should not permit

uncontrolled changes to thin client network access. Most facilities would include a

privilege/lockdown statement in wnos.ini and might override the privilege in a user ini file

without modifying the lockdown privilege. Thus, an administrator could log into any unit

and have sufficient privilege to modify the configuration of that unit without altering the

default privilege at the next reboot.

Caution

If the unit is configured for Dial-up access, there must be an RAS server

answering the configured telephone number. Otherwise, the unit will require

factory attention to recover it.
