This chapter discusses how to use the WCM Client that is installed on the 

thin client systems. You can manually import configuration files, export 

configuration files, view configuration history, and configure the DHCP 

settings on the client system.

1 Launch the WCM Client from the control panel. 
2 Click Import Configuration. The fields are displayed on the right panel.

client system, a network drive, or on a USB drive and want to 

download the configuration files . Browse to the location, select the 

file, and click 

Open.
