Configure the custom connection settings

Dell Hybrid Client enables you to create and manage custom connections. You can use Wyse Management Suite to configure the custom connection settings.

Prerequisites

  • As an administrator, you must install the optional custom connection add-on to create custom connections. To install the custom connection add-on on Dell Hybrid Client, do the following:

    1. Go to Support | Dell.
    2. In the Enter a Service Tag, Serial Number, Service Request, Model, or Keyword field, type the model number of your device or type Dell Hybrid Client.
    3. Click the product from the search results to open the product support page.
    4. On the product support page, click Drivers & downloads.
    5. Depending on the version of Dell Hybrid Client that you have installed on your device, select the Ubuntu operating system. For information about the version of the Ubuntu operating system that is supported in each Dell Hybrid Client release, see Supported operating system.
    6. From the list, locate the custom connection add-on entry and click the download icon.
    7. After the add-on is downloaded successfully, use the standard application policy on Wyse Management Suite to deploy the add-on to Dell Hybrid Client. Ensure that you upload the downloaded add-on to the local repository on Wyse Management Suite. For more information about how to deploy a Standard App Policy, see the Wyse Management Suite 4.1 Administrator's Guide at Support | Dell.
  • For configuring Custom connection with gnome-terminal, the option /usr/bin/gnome-terminal --disable-factory should be added.
