Appendix A Central Configuration: Automating Updates and Configuration
Understanding How to Configure Your Network Services
Tip
A zero client is initially (new-zero client or reset zero client to default configurations) configured to
obtain its IP address and the location of the Virtual Desktop server from a DHCP server. DHCP can
only be used for the Ethernet Direct access configuration.
A wnos.ini file contains the “global” parameters you want that will affect all zero clients accessing
the file server. A {username}.ini file contains the user-specific or “user profile” parameters you want
that will comprise the connection profile for an individual user. For information on constructing these
INI files, refer to the Cisco Virtual Experience Client 2112/2212 WTOS INI Files Reference Guide.

After DHCP and Virtual Desktop servers are configured and available, simply connect the zero client to
the network (directly through a network cable), turn it on, and begin using the zero client. A sign-on
name and password may be required for access to the session services. If applications (published by
Citrix PNAgent/PNLite services) are available, a Domain name must be entered or selected from the list.
Connections or applications may start automatically if they are configured to automatically start in the
INI files.

Tip
If session connections or published applications are designated to open automatically on start-up,
upon accessing the enterprise server environment you will see a session server log-in or server
application window instead of the zero client desktop. Use Ctrl-Alt-Up Arrow to toggle between
window display modes. Use Ctrl-Alt-Down Arrow to open a selection box for toggling between the
desktop, the Connect Manager, and currently-active connections.

If the zero client accesses the enterprise server environment through a manually initiated Dial-up,
PPPoE, or PPTP VPN, the automation provided by a DHCP server is not available. In such cases, refer

Virtual Desktop Server Available (DHCP Server Unavailable)
In an environment where a DHCP server is not available but a Virtual Desktop server is available, the
zero client user must locally enter (using the Network Setup dialog box) network information that would
otherwise be supplied by the DHCP server.

If the zero client is configured for DHCP (new-zero client or reset zero client to default configurations)
but DHCP is not detected on the network, the Network Setup dialog box automatically opens when the
zero client is started. You can also open the Network Setup dialog box manually by clicking on the
desktop background, selecting System Setup from the desktop menu, and then clicking Network. In the
Network Setup dialog box, select the Statically specified IP Address option and configure the dialog box
for the following information (any remaining information will be automatically populated from the INI
files when the Virtual Desktop server is contacted):
