DELL 1.3.0.0 User Manual

Introduction

• WCM Application GUI — is a standalone GUI to create new 

configuration files as well as edit existing configuration files. These files 

can be placed on an FTP server (for FTP) or on a Web server (Microsoft 

IIS Web server for HTTP or HTTPS) in order to be deployed on thin 

clients running the WCM Client.

•

WCM Client — is a client component that is pre-installed or deployed in 

the supported thin client systems by using the Dell Wyse Device Manager 

(WDM). After you log in to the thin client system, the 

WCM Client 

downloads the latest configuration file and applies the configurations. As 

an administrator, you can also use the WCM Client Control Panel applet 

to export the current customized configurations of a thin client as a 

configuration file, and to manually import configuration files into the thin 

client.

You can deploy the WCM configuration files to your thin clients both 

automatically and manually. For more information, see 

Configuration, Setting Up Manual Configuration, and Importing Thin Client 

.

The following diagram describes the deployment of configuration files on a 

WCM thin client.

The WCM has the following features:

• Provides granular control to deploy:

–

Universal, or user-specific settings

–

Stationary or mobile thin clients

–

Local or remote devices
