2 About Cloud Connect Secure productivity from work, home, and on the go. IT managed enterprise client with outstanding portability, security, and rich user experience accessing broad applications and content in the cloud. Multiple ways to connect Cloud Connect is an ultra-compact device that turns any display with an MHL or HDMI port into a high-quality window to the cloud. While it looks like a USB flash drive, Cloud Connect performs like a PC or highly functional thin client. Cloud Connect is extreme mobile computing, allowing users to securely access personal and professional content from any compatible display, in virtually any room, anywhere. Display presentations or play online games without a laptop or tablet. Cloud Connect functions as a multipurpose Citrix, Microsoft RDP, or VMware thin client, a web client for web-based apps, or a stand-alone device for local apps and content. It includes the Android OS for access to thousands of apps in the Google App store*. * Compatible apps only.

3 What you ll need To properly evaluate Cloud Connect you ll need a monitor or TV with an MHL or HDMI connection. If HDMI, connect to a powered USB port on the display or wall adapter with a USB port to power the device. Audio output comes from the display (e.g. display speaker bar or USB speaker attached to the display) or Bluetooth speakers. Also, side by side web access is highly recommended to connect to Cloud Client Manager (CCM). CCM is a SaaS based tool that manages Cloud Connect. Having the two side by side will allow you to make policy changes on CCM and almost instantly see the reflected changes on the Cloud Connect device. For the best user experience Dell recommends the following tested and verified options: Dell 27 touch monitor - P2714T / 1920x1080 / 2x MHL/HDMI, VGA, DP, USB (4) Dell 23 touch monitor - P2314T / 1920x1080 / 2x MHL/HDMI, VGA, DP, USB (4) Dell 20 touch monitor - E2014T / 1600x900 / 2x MHL/HDMI, VGA, DP, USB (2) Dell 27 Touch Monitor - P2714T Logitech Bluetooth keyboard (K810) Dell part# A / backlit, low noise keys, low profile keys Dell wireless travel mouse - WM524 Dell part# / Bluetooth 3.0, long battery life, compact

17 2. About Cloud Client Manager Dell Wyse Cloud Client Manager provides IT administrators with an intelligent and dynamic cloud-based console to securely manage and enable corporate access to a wide range of devices including Cloud Connect thin clients, zero clients, smartphones, and tablets regardless if the device is owned by the company or by the individual employee. With Cloud Client Manager, administrators have access to a unified console that goes beyond standard device management solutions by providing a complete view of the IT infrastructure serving corporate users. The console provides visibility not only into managed devices, but also insight into what employees have used them and what IT assets have been accessed. As a cloud-based solution, Cloud Client Manager can be accessed by customers from any location with public network connectivity and are able to manage devices in real-time regardless of their location. IT managers are not required to install any special servers on premise or tweak network settings to have simple yet robust central management of their devices. In addition, IT managers will receive access to new features and update automatically guaranteeing that they are always up to date and eliminating the need for tedious upgrade cycles and resources.

18 3. Notes about adding a New Mobile user Portal administrator: Select this option if you want to enable portal administration access to the system for this User (administrator access rights), and then select the role (global administrator or global viewer) to which you want to assign the User. In general, global viewers have read-only access to the console, but can also be given rights to issue any of the following real-time commands that you specify: query, lock, clear passcode, unregister, wipe, restart. Note: Newly created administrators will be forced to enter a new password at their first login. Password: The password is used for device registration and is the password for logging into the self-service portal. Select a User-based option to either generate a random password or to enter a custom password: Random password: system assigns a random password for the User. Custom password: manually enter the password you want (passwords must contain a minimum of 8 characters (up to a maximum of 64) including 1 upper case letter, 1 lower case letter, and 1 numerical digit). If a group password has been configured, this is the default custom password. Tip: Users will register their client device using the credentials you provide to them (they must enter the credentials into the Cloud Client Manager software installed on their device and register into the Cloud Client Manager system). Supports Desktop Virtualization protocols

19 4. Notes about managing policies for Cloud Connect devices Cloud Client Manager allows for policies to be managed at many different levels. Policies can be assigned organizationwide (Global Policy), on a per-group basis (Group Policy), on a per-user basis (User Policy such as the Beta policy you configured in Setting up Launchpad mode and Setting up Kiosk mode ), or on a per-device basis (Device Policy). If a policy configuration has conflicts between the different levels (for example, a passcode policy is applied at the User and Group levels with different passcode complexities) the Step 3: Run Apps and see Cloud Connect in Cloud Client Manager lowest-level (most-detailed level) policy takes precedence (for example, the User level the more detailed level will take precedence over the Group level). Important: Policies are enforced in the following order: 1. Device (see Device Level Exceptions ) 2. User (see User Level Exceptions ) 3. Group (see Group Level Policies ) 4. Global (see Global Level Policies ) TIP: Use the following general guidelines when working with policies: Policies can be modified on multiple levels and Cloud Client Manager will automatically consolidate the information into one policy for each User/Device. Cloud Connect policies can be configured at Global, per Group, per User, and per Device levels. Policies are inherited in the order they are created. Any settings you configure in a Default Policy Group will be the default in all the policies below that Default Policy Group (likewise for a Group all Users and Devices in that Group have the Default Policy Group as their default). You can always create an exception for a User/Device in a Group to have a subset of policies to be different than the Group default. You can do this using the User Details page or the Device Details page. These detail pages display the configuration for that asset with details of where configurations are set (Global, Group, User, Device levels) and allows you the option to create exceptions.

20 Continued When modifying lower-level policies, any policy that is an override to a higher-level policy will be indicated by a bullet symbol to the left of the policy type (for example, Passcode, Restrictions, Wi-Fi, and so on). While modifying policies, an asterisk (*) will be placed to the right of the policy types to indicate that there are unsaved (and unpublished) changes. To review these changes prior to publishing them, click on the View Pending Changes link at the right of the panel. As soon as you click the Save & Publish button, the devices are notified about the changes and the changes will take effect based on the behavior of the devices (that is, mobile devices (Cloud Connect will always apply changes immediately while thin client changes usually occur after a reboot many thin client settings force a reboot immediately to apply your changes). Device Level Exceptions To configure a policy at the Device level, click the Devices tab to open the Devices page, click a Name link to open the Device Details page, click the Summary tab, scroll to the Device Configuration section, click Create/Edit Exceptions and select the device type for which you want to manage the exceptions (for Cloud Connect, select Android) from the menu to open and use the Device Level Exceptions page. User Level Exceptions To configure a policy at the User level, click the Users tab to open the Users page, click a Name link to open the User Details page, click the Summary tab, scroll to the User Configuration section, click Create/Edit Exceptions and select the device type for which you want to manage the exceptions (for Cloud Connect, select Android) from the menu to open and use the User Level Exceptions page. Group Level Policies To configure the settings of a policy at the Group Level, click the Edit Policies link of a Group Policy, select the device you want (for Cloud Connect, select Android) from the menu, click the Settings button you want, and then click the Configure this item button to open and use the settings page to configure your settings (be sure to click Save and Publish after configuring your settings). Global Level Policies To configure the settings of a policy at the Global Level, click the Edit Policies link of the Default Policy Group, select the device you want (for Cloud Connect, select Android) from the menu, click the Settings button you want, and then click the Configure this item button to open and use the settings page to configure your settings (be sure to click Save and Publish after configuring your settings).
