Appliance Mode Workflow on Thin Client Devices
1
Boot the operating system on the thin client system.
2
Log in to the system.
3
The WCM automatically downloads the WCM XML configuration file
from the FTP or IIS Web Server or uses a locally stored file on the thin
client.
4
WCM applies the XML file settings including the Appliance mode.
5
Use the thin client system with the configured Appliance mode session.
6
Log off from the system or session.
After you log out from the system or session, you can again log in to the
system at a later point. In Appliance mode, you only need to press the
Ctrl-Alt-Del
keys to shut down the current session or restart the system
again.
Disabling or Stopping the Appliance Mode
You need to log in as Administrator to disable or log out of the Appliance
mode by using one of the following options:
•

— Change the WCM XML file from

— On the thin client:

Shift
key while logging off the server.
bLog in as an Administrator and while the WCM Appliance mode is
downloading or applying the XML file, select the WCM splash
screen with your mouse and press the Esc key.
This disables Appliance mode in that session. You can then disable the
Write -Filt er
