    WTOS FTP/HTTP/HTTPS Upgrade Methods

    A Technote by Customer Support

    Wyse Customer Support


    Summary This document will show you how to properly configure and setup an FTP/HTTP/HTTPS server to upgrade the WTOS for Wyse Thin OS Clients. Audience Customers, 1st Level Support, and Systems Engineering Group Affected Products All clients using Wyse ThinOS Version 6.5 or Release 7. (Referred here as R6.5 and R7) Requirements Windows PC or Server with IIS and FTP Services installed. If you dont have the FTP server installed, you can go to the Microsoft Knowledge Base (http://support.microsoft.com/search/) and search for documents How to setup an FTP server or How to setup an HTTPS server. You can specify your OS to reduce the number of articles. Procedure for FTP Upgrades 1. Installing the Windows IIS creates the directory C:\inetpub\ftproot. Under this folder create another folder name \wyse and under \wyse create another folder and name it \wnos. By now you should have a directory structure that reads: C:\inetpub\ftproot\wyse\wnos 2. Place your firmware files in the \wnos folder (See table 1 for File Names in relation to your specific model). Verify that the file wnos.ini exist in the \wnos directory. If this file does not exist, you must create it using a text editor.

    Model
    C10LE

    File Name
    C10_WNOS C10_BOOT RCA _WNOS RCA_BOOT

    Model
    V10L/LE

    File Name
    VL10_WNOS VL10_BOOT

    3. If it exists, make a backup of your wnos.ini file. 4. Open (or create) the wnos.ini file with a text editor, and enter (or modify) the following two lines and then save the file. Autoload=2 Signon=0 5. For R6.5 - On the WTOS Client, click the Desktop button on the bottom left hand corner of the screen, go to System Setup and select Network. For R7 Select the Configuration Icon, expand the Central Configuration: option and select the General Tab. 6. R6.5 - Go to the Servers tab (See Figures 1) R7 Go to the General tab (See Figure 2). The File Servers/Path field should have the IP Address of the FTP Server/ Directory (change to the correct values if necessary). i.e.: 192.257.1.201/wyse Note: The starting path must be /wyse The Username field should have Anonymous and the Password fields password is already set (DO NOT CHANGE).

    Figure 1 - Version 6.x Thin Client

    Figure 2 - Version 7.x Thin Client

    Note: If there is no default password or if the password has been changed, then youll have to set it to something in an email format (i.e. [email protected]) or Set the Thin Client back to factory defaults. This will put the Anonymous user back in with the default password but youll have to reconfigure the Wyse Thin Client.

    7. To check if the Thin Client upgraded at the end of this process, click on the Desktop button and select System Information. Under the General tab, Note the System Version, and verify that the client was upgraded.

    8. Restart the Wyse Thin Client and you should see a small progress bar go across the screen and load the new image on the Wyse Thin Client. 9. To verify that the thin client was upgraded, click on the Desktop button and select System Information. Under the General tab, Note the System Version. It should now be different than the version on step 8. 10. You can return your WNOS.INI file back to its original state.

    Procedure for HTTP/HTTPS upgrades If you require HTTP or HTTPS 1. Verify that the web server can identify the files types used by WTOS. We need to create two MIME types under IIS. The MIME's need to be configured on a per site basis. On a default IIS install: a. Launch the IIS admin console. b. Browse to the Default Web Site, right click and select Properties. c. Choose the HTTP Headers tab and under the MIME Map section choose File Types then New Type.

    d. Add the two MIME types as shown below. Use ".INI" and "." for the associated extension fields. e. Apply the settings and close the IIS admin console.

    Figure 4 - Adding MIME Types

    2. Installing IIS creates the default directory C:\inetpub\WWWroot. Under this folder please create the following directory structure. C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wyse\wnos\ 3. Place the WTOS firmware and .INI files in the \WNOS directory. More information can be located in the WTOS Administrator's Guide along with sample .INI files. For both resources please visit the Wyse Customer Support Knowledgebase and click on Reference Guides.

    4. There are two types of methods which can be used to assign the WTOS thin computing device to the correct HTTPS server initially. First, you can manually enter the File Server and Path on the WTOS device by click on Desktop - System Setup Network - File Servers/Path and entering the following information.

    EX: https://IPADDRESS/wyse

    The Second method uses DHCP option tags 161 and 162 to hand the WTOS thin computing device the File Server and Path information. Specific information on how to setup 161 and 162 tags are located in the Wyse Thin OS administrators guide located at the Wyse Customer Support Knowledgebase and click on Reference Guides.
