Using Wyse Device Manager Software for Remote Administration

Wyse Device ManagerTM (WDM) servers provide network management services to the thin client (complete user-desktop control—with features such as remote shadow, reboot, shutdown, boot, rename, automatic device check-in support, Wake-On-LAN, change device properties, and so on).

Note

Ordering information for WDM is available on the Wyse Web site at:

http://www.wyse.com/products/software/rapport.

For information on setting WDM properties, refer to "Configuring WDM Properties."

For local custom fields that can be accessed by WDM, refer to "Setting Configuration Strings with Custom Fields."

Accessing Thin Client BIOS Settings

While starting a Wyse client you will see a Wyse logo for a short period of time. During this start-up you can press Del to enter the BIOS of the thin client to make your modifications (enter Fireport as the password).
