This page is a summary of information that came from two pages of the freewysemonkeys website (now technicalhelp.de) namely:
I find I occasionally check the site so I thought I'd summarise the information here. (Note: Original links to the two pages are now dead and have been removed).

| DOC Tools | (Disk On Chip Tools). This is a DOS based set of tools from M-Systems who made the Disk On Chip flash used in the old Netier XL series terminals, Wyse purchased Netier and re-branded these devices such as the 8440XL/SL. You will need to boot the device in to DOS to use the tools and this was done during manufacture of the devices by loading a PXE DOS disk and mapping a drive to run the tools and load the .img file. |
| Xfer | Xfer (Transfer?) is used from DOS again to load an image via a Parallel LapLink cable. This tool must be run from DOS not a NT based command shell, it is a very simple tool to use. Boot a PC from a DOS disk and connect to the target terminal with the laplink cable. |
| netXfer | netXfer is a self contained bootp and TFTP client however it is configured to listen on port 10067 and 10068 for the bootp broadcast and deliver the image on port 10069. A terminal booted with the "P" key depressed will start the netXfer process. netXfer is easy to use and runs from a simple .exe, this is an old tool and will require that the OS have Microsoft Java (not SUN) installed. (Trivial to use a standard DHCP server and TFTP server on a Linux box instead). |
| Wyse Simple Imager (WSI) | WSI is really a tool that has the core Wyse wizard imaging system which is PXE based.
To install this tool you will need to create a complete PXE environment with a ftp server as well.
This tool will also require a DHCP server and there is a link to a free-ware one to use with a
standalone PC. WSI is clunky to install but simple to use once its running.
Any newer Wyse device that support PXE can have an image loaded via WSI. Visit the wyse.com download section to get this tool and the installation instructions. |
| USB memory disk | Wyse do not support imaging from a USB key however a un-official USB imaging system that works with XPe/Linux V-class devices exists. |
