WML Linux Thin Client User Guide

Initial Setup Wizard

Connect a monitor to the unit’s video port and a USB keyboard and mouse to any of the WML Linux Thin Client USB ports. The network connection should be connected to your LAN hub/switch or ADSL router using an RJ45 network cable.

Connect the supplied power adapter to the WML Linux Thin Client and press the on/off button and the blue led should illuminate and the unit should boot.

Note: USE ONLY THE SUPPLIED POWER ADAPTER OR YOU WILL INVALIDATE ANY WARRANTY.

The initial screen gives you the option of switching to your chosen locale. This will set the language and keyboard setting to match your country. If you change the locale, then the Setup Manager will re-start with the chosen keyboard and language.

After the network window(s) have been filled in, the network settings are applied.

The next screen allows you to choose your preferred display resolution. The autodetected resolution will be shown pre-selected. If you change the resolution, the monitor will switch resolution and a confirmation window will appear. Click OK if the new resolution is functioning, or “Revert” to switch back to the original resolution. If the new resolution fails, and the display disappears, wait for 10 seconds, and the display will automatically revert back to the original autodetected resolution.

Printer setup will be displayed in the next window. If you require a locally connected printer on your WML Linux Thin Client, connect the printer to one of the USB ports. In order to print to the printer you will need to set up the print driver on a server and direct the print to the WML Linux Thin Client. An example of this process is described on this window.
