WCM Application GUI — is a standalone GUI to create new configuration files as well as edit existing configuration files. These files can be placed on an FTP server (for FTP) or on a Web server (Microsoft IIS Web server for HTTP or HTTPS) in order to be deployed on thin clients running the WCM Client.

WCM Client — is a client component that is pre-installed or deployed in the supported thin client systems by using the Dell Wyse Device Manager (WDM). After you log in to the thin client system, the WCM Client downloads the latest configuration file and applies the configurations. As an administrator, you can also use the WCM Client Control Panel applet to export the current customized configurations of a thin client as a configuration file, and to manually import configuration files into the thin client.

You can deploy the WCM configuration files to your thin clients both automatically and manually. For more information, see Setting Up Automatic Configuration, Setting Up Manual Configuration, and Importing Thin Client Configurations.

The following diagram describes the deployment of configuration files on a WCM thin client.
