  4. Click Edit initial settings to configure the settings to be applied to the thin client at installation time. These settings are saved on the UDC stick and will also be applied to thin clients in subsequent installations.

    It is also possible to roll out custom files like certificates at installation time. To do so, copy the files to a location inside the folder wfs_template on the UDC stick, just as they should be placed in the folder /wfs on the thin client.
  5. Click Reset initial settings to remove any custom configuration and restore the installation of the factory default values.
  6. Click on Install Firmware to begin the installation process.
    In case the target drive is not large enough for installation of the whole firmware, a dialog window will open. The physical disk size and the estimated firmware size are shown. Deselect features in the list of optional features until the remaining parts will fit onto the device.

    As of version 5.13.100, these settings are stored on the UDC stick. If the stick is used on another device with limited storage space, the system offers these saved settings as default settings.
