DELL 1.3.0.0 User Manual

Using the Dell Wyse Configuration Manager (WCM) Client

• The Port is displayed by default. The default ports for FTP, HTTP, 

and HTTPS are 21, 80, and 443 respectively. 

• Enter the folder 

Path where the configuration file is saved in the 

remote location if you have not used the default path. 

• Enter the 

Username and Password to access the Repository server.

If you have been deploying your configuration files locally and 

the Protocol is set to Local in the Agent Settings dialog box of the WCM 

Application GUI and Import Configuration is set to Local in the Import 

Configuration dialog box of the WCM Client, you can switch back to a remote 

download of the configuration files. You must set the Protocol to FTP, HTTP, or 

HTTPS using the Agent Settings dialog box of the WCM Application GUI. You 

must also ensure that you set the Import Configuration to Remote in the Import 

Configuration dialog box of the WCM Client. You cannot switch back to a 

remote download using only the Agent Settings dialog box of the WCM 

Application GUI.

4 If you want the configuration file to be imported everytime the thin client 

system boots, check the 

Import configuration on every boot option. 

If the Import configuration on every boot option is selected, the WCM 

remote repository is discovered in the following order of preference DNS-

SRV, DNS-Host, DHCP Options, Registry Settings in the remote settings. If 

none of the above are configured, then the Import configuration on every boot 

option is not implemented.

5 Click Save Settings.
6 Click Import to apply the settings in the configuration file to the thin 

client system immediately.

If you have configured the DNS-SRV, DNS-Host, DHCP Options, and 

Registry Settings in the remote settings, and the configuration file does not 

download, then the fallback mechanism for each of the preceding 

mechanisms is as follows:

1 For a device specific configuration or for a local user, if the 

WE8SConfig.xml, or WES7Config.xml, or WESConfig.xml fails to 

download from the remote path, check the configuration history for the 

same named latest configuration and apply that file.
