Wyse RDP 7 Modifications: RDP bi-directional sound support. Ability to enable the use of local audio devices with remote applications is supported in Windows 7 Enterprise, Windows 7 Ultimate and Windows Server 2008 R2 with Remote Desktop Services Role installed. RDP NLA support. Other minor bug fixes. Notable GUI Redesign: System Information dialog box. The System Information dialog box is redesigned to show system information according to different information groups. It displays network interfaces in a drop-down list and dynamically queries and refreshes the GUI whenever a network interfaces state changes.

7 Release 11 SP1 Build User Administration dialog box. The User Administration dialog box is redesigned to combine the previous Thin Client Users and Password applets into a single dialog box. Changes in NTP Tab of Device Settings: The Synch button was removed as it is no longer needed; whenever NTP server entries are changed in the registry, the registry On Change action will now automatically trigger the NTP Server Sync.

8 4 Chapter 1 Support for Encoded INI File Password Fields for All Applications: This build does not accept plain passwords in INI files; all passwords must be base64 encoded (log in to the thin client, open XTerm, and then type regencode followed by the password in plain text). Wyse VDA Client Support for Wyse VDA Server v1.5: Wyse VDA Client v1.5 add-on supports Wyse VDA Server v1.5. ReadyMode Support for Wyse X50C Platform: With this build the Wyse X50C provides support for ReadyMode functionality with BIOS: 1.0G. You can use ReadyMode for easy login after thin client shut down. If the ReadyMode feature has been enabled (select the ReadyMode check box or use DisableReadyMode=No in the INI files - ReadyMode is disabled by default) and the thin client is shut down, the session ends, the power button LED is put in a state of OFF, and the thin client is placed in Standby mode to preserve power. Upon pressing the power button, the thin client exits Standby mode, and immediately prompts the user with the login dialog box.

Additional Changes in this Release: DDC resolution is automatically set if no display setting is made in the INI files. Thin client devices correctly prompt for password when auto-login is enabled. Ericom PowerTerm correctly overrides the settings from the remote configuration filename. Proper unlocking for users occurs after changing the INI source option to Do not use INI files in the GUI. Mouse scrolling within an RDP session is properly consistent. Minor fixes related to drive mapping issues for ICA PN Agent. Encoding of all INI file passwords.
