Next, you have to download the proper Merlin Image for your device not the raw image, in our case a Dell Wyse 3040: -de/product-support/product/wyse-3040-thin-client/driversOS_Merlin_v8.6_B013_3040_ENG.zip




Wyse Thin Client Image Download




There is a Merlin Image for ThinOS 9.1 available, so I suspect it is possible to upgrade from 8.6 to 9.1 with an USB-Stick, although I never tried, because I always upgrade with the Dell Wyse Management Suite 3.x, which worked very well. -us/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=3jxdx&oscode=thn80&productcode=wyse-3040-thin-client


A ThinManager Ready thin client can use DHCP or static for the client IP address and the ThinManager Server IP address. Its BIOS will instruct it to download the firmware.ThinManager Compatible (PXE) thin clients do not store static IP addresses so each of them require DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to assign the client IP address. The ThinManager Server IP address and bootfile name can be provided by a DHCP server or by the ThinManager PXE Server.


There are three modes or methods that a ThinManager Compatible thin client can receive this information.Using standard DHCP serverThis mode will allow the client to use an existing DHCP server to provide the client IP address while the ThinManager PXE server will provide the ThinManager IP and boot file name.Using standard DHCP server with Boot OptionsThis mode allows the DHCP server to provide all the information needed. It will use Option 066 to provide the ThinManager IP and will use Option 067 to provide the boot file name in addition to the client IP address.Not using standard DHCP ServerThis gives ThinManager the power to provide all the necessary information, including client IP addresses.


The ThinManager Compatible thin client will make a DHCP request when it is turned on. The DHCP server will respond with the client IP address. The ThinManager will respond with the PXE boot information and the thin client will connect to ThinManager.


The ThinManager Compatible thin client will make a DHCP request when it is turned on. The DHCP server will respond with the client IP address, the ThinManager address, and the name of the bootfile to download. The ThinManager Compatible thin client will connect to ThinManager.


Since each ThinManager PXE Server will only respond to a specific list of thin clients, the thin clients can all reboot at the same time but only get a response from the appropriate ThinManager Server.


ThinManager has the ability to PXE Boot some thin client makes and models, even if they are not on the Supported Hardware List. When a thin client PXE boots, it will send its VGA PCID and Network PCID to ThinManager, which then checks to see if there is a match in the TermCap. If there is a match, the thin client may proceed to boot and start a session. If both IDs do not match, then the thin client will not boot and must be sent to ACP for XLI Compatibility Testing.There are some considerations to be made when PXE Booting UnSupported Hardware:


For Teams AV optimization in VDI environments to work properly, the thin-client device must have access to the internet. If internet access isn't available at the thin-client device, optimization startup won't be successful. This means that the user is in a non-optimized media state.


HP and AMD have combined advanced power-smart processing, expansive display capabilities, comprehensive software and firmware testing, and a sleek design to deliver thin client solutions that go the distance.


For usages where additional graphics and/or local processing performance is required, the Intel NUC Kit NUC7i3DNKE, Intel NUC Kit NUC7i3DNHE, Intel NUC Kit NUC7i5DNKE, and Intel NUC Kit NUC7i5DNHE offer the ultimate building blocks for rich clients and traditional thin-client systems.


The Intel Compute Stick STK1AW32SC is an ideal device for thin-clients with a single screen and the need to run local Windows applications. Simply install the Citrix Receiver* for Windows (or relevant client application for the preferred VDI infrastructure) onto the Compute Stick and login!


A common thin client definition is a computer that uses resources housed inside a central server as opposed to a hard drive. A thin client connects to a server-based environment that hosts the majority of applications, memory, and sensitive data the user needs. Thin clients can also connect to servers based in the cloud.


In many instances, a thin client computer is an effective replacement for a personal computer (PC). It can also be a superior solution, particularly because it enables an IT team to set up a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). With a thin client setup, you can acquire new workstations for employees working remotely or in-house at a lower cost than if you give each one their own desktop. Further, you have the option to centralize your security solution by protecting the server the various thin clients connect to.


A thick client costs more to deploy. With a thick client, you have an all-in-one system, and hence, you have to pay for the various components that come with it. Also, a thick client has many more moving parts, which results in additional disadvantages. For example, they are harder to maintain and are more likely to break down earlier, particularly because each component has its own individual life cycle. Thick clients consume more energy because each individual component has to be powered. Also, cooling down several thick clients may require more fan power than cooling a central server that provides for several thin clients, resulting in additional energy expenses.


However, a thick client also comes with more features. In some instances, additional features can be helpful, particularly if they support functions you may need at a later date. For example, if you need to deploy a memory-intensive application, a thin client may not come with enough memory out of the box, whereas a thick client is more likely to pack enough memory for more demanding applications.


A thin client is used for desktop virtualization, shared services, or browser-based computing. With a virtualized desktop setup, including one where each user has a remote desktop, each individual desktop exists within a virtual machine, which is simply a partition inside a centralized server. NComputing is a popular desktop virtualization solution. Several partitions exist side by side, and each one serves a different user. Each of these users has their own applications and operating system, similar to when they use a normal PC.


When terminal services are shared, the users at the various thin client stations can use the same operating system and applications because they are run from a central server. Users are limited with what they can do because all activity has to be approved by the IT department. This can benefit the organization, as user activity can be limited to the use of specific, safe, or protected applications.


With browser-based architecture, the application-related functions of a device are executed within a browser instead of via a remote server. While data processing happens on the thin client itself, software and data have to be accessed by connecting to the network.


To adequately protect several thin clients simultaneously, you need a centralized security solution that maximizes throughput so user activity is not hampered. With FortiGate, you get a next-generation firewall (NGFW) that provides web filtering, packet filtering, Internet Protocol security (IPsec), and support for virtual private networks (VPNs) and secure sockets layer (SSL) inspection. You also get deeper inspection capabilities that provide intrusion protection and safeguard your central server from malware attacks.


FortiGate provides enough throughput for many thin clients to connect to the central server at the same time. The FortiGate 6500F, for example, provides 100 Gbps of threat protection and 130 Gbps of SSL inspection throughput.


A thin client is used in architectures built around server-based environments, where a central server does most of the computational work and stores data. The thin client then becomes an access point for a user who needs to connect to the server. Because of these attributes, thin clients are often used when an organization wants to scale quickly and cost-effectively while centralizing and simplifying their security solution.


Technically, yes, a thin client can be used as a PC. However, you would need to use an external storage device like a thumb drive or external hard drive to store any significant amount of data. Also, without a powerful graphics card or DVD/CD-ROM drive, the capabilities of a thin client used as a PC are limited.


I can see what you're saying but HP would surely have several or dozens of these thin clients activating every day, I don't think me getting 5 replacement units over a month period would affect the MS activation too much.


If you are using a Windows / macOS, you will need a program to extract the raw disk image from the compressed archive you downloaded.Then you will need to open the raw image file with a program that can write it on the drive you want to install OpenWrt on.


Different from compiling, we can build our own custom image using the Image Builder.This doesn't compile the whole software, instead it downloads required packages from the same repository used by OpenWrt to install them.Image Builder builds the same image files used for installing and upgrading OpenWrt.


Due to that it's much simpler than compiling and offers great advantages, like adding directly to the image all packages we need, removing those we don't need, and also adding to it our config files.Having packages on the image, we don't need to reinstall all of them after an upgrade.And having our config files directly on the image, we don't need to reconfigure everything or copy all files from backup, which is specially difficult when default network configs don't work with our router's interfaces or it doesn't start with correct IP address.In many cases, OpenWrt will be back fully working on first boot after upgrading. 2ff7e9595c
