Persistence
Persistence, within the scope of thin client computing, refers to the
continuing existence of connections and settings after a terminal has
been rebooted.
Default Behavior
By default, or after resetting your terminal to default factory setting,
DeTOS is set to persistent mode. This means that any configuration
change you make will persist across reboots. You can change this to a
stateless mode where the thin client settings and connections are
dynamically “pulled” from the management server, or a snapshot mode
where you define the desired configuration and prevent users from
making any changes. These options are all configured in the Control
Panel, under the System Settings, in a section called Local Storage.
Persistence in DeTOS Thin Clients
There are two strategies for achieving persistence on DeTOS-based thin
clients.
Strategy #1: Maintain Profiles via Remote Management Server
DeTOS thin clients can be centrally managed using the Acer Echo
Management Console. Using Echo, administrators can create several
connections and settings and then group them together to form one
single collection called a profile. This profile can then be pushed or
assigned to one or more thin clients. With your profile properly
configured, each time a terminal is booted up and discovered by Echo,
all connections and system settings according to its assigned profile are
immediately applied
– or pushed out – to that terminal.
