·  How to login as an administrator?

Click on "Start-Shut Down-Log off" but press the Shift-key while the unit is logging you off. This way you are presented the default Windows login screen. Type "administrator" as the username and "Administrator" as the password (password is case sensitive).

·  Is it possible to save or install own programs or settings?

Log in as an administrator and disable the so called Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) or File Based Write Filter (FBWF). To do this just click on the icon (FBWF disable) on the desktop.

·  How to set up own timeserver?

Wyse is using a tool called Neutron to sync the time. You can simply edit the neutron.ini file in the program directory to add your own time servers.

To use the native Windows service you have to make some registry changes as the Windows service is only syncing the time as long as at least the date is still correct.

- start Regedit
- change the value of  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeConfigMaxNegPhaseCorrection to  "ffffffff"
- change the value of  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeConfigMaxPosPhaseCorrection to  "ffffffff"
- copy the file w32tm.exe from your Windows XP Pro SP2 PC to the local folder Windowssystem32
- open cmd
- type "w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:
"your timeserver here"
- type "w32tm /update

Make sure the Write Filter is disabled while doing this!

·  How do I get access to the BIOS?

Like with most PC nowadays you can get access to the BIOS by pressing the "Del" key while the system is booting (For acces to the BIOS on X-class units press F2).
Wyse is protecting the BIOS with a password which is "Fireport" (case-sensitive).

·  My unit is sending out DHCP inform packages to the network although it already has an IP. Why?

The Wyse WDM agent which is part of the XPe OS is sending out these DHCP inform request to find the WDM server automatically. As soon as it has found the WDM server or the admin has entered a valid entry in the agent configuration (Control Panel-WDM), it stops doing that.
