2Getting Started: Quickly Learning

Use the following information to quickly learn the basics and get started using your thin

client:

•"Logging In"

•"Using Your Home Screen"

•"Configuring Thin Client Settings and Connections"

•"Connecting to Network and Session Services"

•"Connecting to a Printer"

•"Connecting to a Monitor"

•"Locking, Logging Out, Shutting Down, Restarting, and Suspending"

•"Additional Getting Started Details"

TIP: While it can be used in environments without central configuration for basic

connectivity needs, Wyse Enhanced Ubuntu Linux is designed to be centrally managed

and configured using INI files. In general, it is recommended that you use central

configuration to enable you to automatically push any desired default configuration to all

supported thin clients in your environment (see "Central Configuration: Automating

Configurations").

TIP: On your initial connection to central configuration it is recommended that you connect

using a “wired connection” (plug in the network-connected ethernet cable to your thin

client before starting the thin client) to obtain the configurations desired by the

administrator (connections, system settings, required certificates and so on). This “wired

connection” will also provide any wireless configurations provided by the administrator

through the INI files.

If you must initially connect to central configuration through wireless, use the Edit

Wireless Connection dialog box (click System Settings > Network Connections >

Wireless tab > Add) to create a wireless connection where you can enter the SSID and

encryption configurations required/set up by the network administrator (see "Network

Connections").

After your thin client starts, Administrators (high privilege) can log in to your Home screen

using the default user name admin and the default case-sensitive password admin. It is

highly recommended that you change the default password by using the User

Administration dialog box in System Settings (see "User Administration").

Note that Thinuser users (low privilege for locked mode end-user) can use the default user

name thinuser and the default case-sensitive password thinuser; Guest users (no

privileges Kiosk type setup) can use default user name guest and do not need a

password.
