Always on Wyse Terminal

Models: T10, C10LE

ThinOS

8.1_027

I'm looking for a configuration that was possible with previous firmware. I would like the terminal to power itself back on if someone were to shut it down. Is this possible with the newer firmware versions? Auto power won't work as that only helps when electricity has been lost to the device.

Thanks,

Tim

The problem with auto power is that it doesn't stop the user from shutting the terminal down.

 

Use of the AutoPower option does not interfere with performing a user directed shutdown.

Tlucas82,

I don't know which parameter you are using since you can use:

AutoPower=Yes

or

Device=CMOS AutoPower=Yes

Please not that the default is No.

If set to yes, then the system starts itself without waiting for users to press the power button. In cases where power was lost unexpectedly and if the thin client was shut down properly before power was lost unexpectedly, when the power is restored, the thin client will be powered. This setting is useful in a kiosk environment.
Once an AutoPower statement is processed, it alters the behavior of the thin client until a countermanding statement is processed. The effect of an AutoPower=Yes statement continues even if the statement is removed from the INI file in which it was found.
